About Less is More Residential House
Less is More is a residential interior design for a 148 square meter home. The home contains three bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, two bathrooms, a kitchen, a dressing room and a storeroom. A black and white palette creates a strong contrast and a simple, neat character. Black adds weight and calmness, while white brings lightness and order. Neutral gray wooden flooring harmonizes the two tones. Earth tone furniture and warm wood soften the cool scheme. A wooden grille wraps the cabinet between the dining and living areas as a screen.

- Design Challenge
- In the long and narrow space, the cabinet between the dining room and the living room is wrapped with a wooden grille as a screen in order to create good feng shui, and it is extended outward to the bedroom door to bring beauty and privacy to the space.
- Project Duration
- The project finished in May 2021 in Taichung City, Taiwan.
- Operation Flow
- Upon opening the door, the open floor concept easily brings outdoor light into the room, while the platform at the entrance is used as a shoe stool in line with the shoe cabinet. The large storage closet can meet all the potential needs. On the linear vista wall, a semi circular shape is deliberately hollowed out to form a platform. Floral arrangements can be placed inside to add warmth to welcome residents home.
The wooden flooring extends upward to the wall behind the sofa. The middle section of the retracted platform can be used for storing items at hand. Followed by the floor to ceiling white cabinet, the conflict between black and white is soften with the matching of different materials.
The half height bar defines the dining room and kitchen. Glass folding doors block smoke while maintaining a transparent view. The sideboard continues to stick to the white tone, and the facade is made of gray stone material that adds a luxurious texture.
The master bedroom continues the tone of the public domain. A silvery white fabric headboard on the bedside wall provides a skin friendly feel. A higher proportion of gray creates a comfortable and cozy sleeping atmosphere. - Research
- The rhythm of the grille’s curved surface leads the way to the living room. The main TV wall is made of composite materials, with white veneer over the ink background. The sharp TV edges are trimmed in the alcove, so that the TV borders are hidden and merge with the main wall. The lower level of the ink colored TV cabinet is extended horizontally to support the main wall.
- Inspiration
- The colorless scheme of black and white conveys a pure perception of space. Black has a sense of weight and adds stability and calmness to the environment. White, on the other hand, has a feeling of lightness and breathability. White harmonizes the space and divides it into blocks in an orderly manner. Neutral gray wooden flooring combines the contrasts between black and white colors to build a harmonious living scene.
