Features: The purpose of writing this book is to provide some reference materials for everyone. Although there are still many shortcomings in the designs in the book, the design concepts may not be new, and the visual effects may not be good, but perhaps a certain idea or detail in the design can inspire you in your own design. Today, people's lifestyles are changing, aesthetic preferences are changing, and design concepts must also change. With the continuous emergence of new decorative materials, interior design is provided with sufficient material conditions. Some things that may be considered beautiful today may become outdated tomorrow, which is a matter of keeping pace with the times. However, no matter how much it changes, there is one principle that remains unchanged: a design scheme must first suit the specific environment. The designed details should beautify the environment and pay attention to the reasonable use of sound, light, and electricity, as well as the contrast between different materials, focusing on the overall harmony. Through the overall design, a specific atmosphere is created, making people feel comfortable. However, many of our designs are just accumulations of materials and of designs, far from the requirements of environmental art design. This not only fails to beautify the environment but may even pollute it. When designing the environment, we must first highlight the concept of "human-centeredness," establish an overall environmental awareness, and create beauty within the environment. This is the correct design concept, and these ideas are slightly reflected in this book.
The living room is the focal point of showcasing a space's design style in a residence because it is a public area, the center of family activities, and the place with the most practical functions, the largest area, the longest activity time, and the most frequent use in the home. Therefore, in every family, there is always an eye-catching color scheme. It has the mission of connecting the inside and outside, as well as bridging guests and hosts. In some families, the living room also symbolizes the host's identity, status, and personality. It can reflect the life interests, hobbies, and cultural cultivation of the family members. The living room may serve as both a place to entertain guests and the center for the entire family's living, resting, and entertainment, making it a key area in home renovation. There is no unified configuration model for living rooms. Generally, there are independent configurations, as well as shared configurations with other rooms. Shared configurations often include multi-functional rooms, which are open-plan layouts. The choice of which form to adopt depends on the family's living conditions. Of course, the design should be appropriate, suitable, and just right, reflecting the principles of beauty and practicality. The arrangement of the living room varies from person to person, and individuality should be emphasized during the design. This is because different people have different lifestyles and living requirements, and their styles are also diverse. A smooth and logical flow of movement is the first thing to consider in living room design. It not only provides a clear visual experience but also makes movement more convenient. When designing, factors such as the size of the living room, including its floor area and height, the relationship between the living room and other spaces, as well as the physical and mental conditions, activity needs, and habits of the family members, are all basic considerations for flow-of-movement design. Once the flow-of-movement design is well-executed, the spatial configuration is largely determined.
