About Think out of the Box Show Flat

Think out of the Box is a show flat interior design of 48 square meters, completed in Taiwan in November 2020. The plan places the living room directly behind the entrance door, so visitors reach the social area at once. An open kitchen and a bench dining seat support relaxed interaction. Above the dining table, a triangular shade lamp is paired with a ball lamp to soften the light. A black marble storage wall keeps objects out of sight, and a mirror wall divides the public and private areas of the home.

Design Details

Unique Properties
Frames are used to make breakthroughs, and the most terrified thing is the mundane life routine without any changes. In this case, the house is planned with the spirit of breaking away from the framework and maintaining the sense of beauty. You don't need to spend too much budget and decoration, through the ingenuity of space planning and furnishings, you can also enhance the interest of living and receiving guests.
Inspiration
Often when the door of the house is opened, there will always be a porch before seeing the whole picture of the house. Nowadays, in order to allow visitors to quickly enter the residential space and be immersed in the joyful atmosphere of being entertained, when planning the residence, it is challenged to use the living room as the area to enter after opening the door first.
Research
Jumping out of the framework is just to add layers to life and get rid of the tasteless rules. This is the vision and concept that this case is expected to convey. Home is not only just a home, but also a guest house, it is a good place to create memories together. Through appropriate choices and bold planning, the residence will be turned into a surprise package full of fun.
Challenge
A row of black marble storage walls gives the living room more storage functions, so there is no need to worry about excessive exposure of items outside to affect the reception. There is only a mirror wall behind the living room, which is another space between the public and private areas of the residence. Not only do people have a couch to rest or read and chat with their legs on the low table next to them, so when guests use the living room at the same time, this space can also take care of the needs of other family members.
Realization and Technology
The lighting combination above the dining table is also an ingenuity carefully arranged by the designer. The triangle shade lamp is in contrast with the ball lamp. When you look up, you don't need to worry about the light being too dazzling.
Operation and Interaction
The free and easy feeling of the open kitchen and the bench dining chair makes the interaction with people more real and natural. When the kitchen and the dining room are integrated, and friends are cutting fruits, bread, and pouring a glass of wine while chatting, it looks homelier and reflects the complete acceptance of the guests.
Project Duration and Location
The project was finished in November 2020 in Taiwan.
Specifications
The space is 48 square meters.
