Seeing that Guagua will be in Grade One in September, it is foreseeable that for a long time to come, our family will concentrate on studying in Guagua and our adults' self-study. After all, it is best for children to learn to do their homework and adults to study/read at the same time. This kind of atmosphere can make children calm down and develop good study habits.
Guagua's room is not small, but after putting a desk and a piano on it, it suddenly becomes smaller. I stay here with him almost every night. He studies and I read or write by myself. To be honest, the environment is a little humbled, and I feel that I will make do every day.
On the contrary, the living room is spacious, but usually only Papa Gua plays games on the sofa occasionally, and I exercise on the treadmill occasionally. That's all, the utilization rate is extremely low, which is a great waste!
So since last year, I've been thinking about renovating it, especially when I wrote about the children's room before, and I was planted with grass by a foreign photo.
I admire the transparency of foreign netizens. Look at this big dining table with a game table. What a warm feeling! Who said that accompanying the baby must be in the children's room? The living room is the best place for parent-child interaction, big and spacious!
I also chatted with my friend, who is an interior designer. He said that more and more families no longer use the traditional living room layout in decoration, and most of them will cancel the TV wall and TV set and replace them with bookcases and display cabinets.

But to be honest, I also have concerns about directly canceling the living room TV. Grandma gua is used to turning on TV, listening to the news and following the drama during the day. Occasionally, there are guests at home and there is no TV. Isn't it a little awkward just sitting? And the original study seems to be idle, which is a pity.
So my heart is moving, and it hasn't really started to change.
It happened that my girlfriend was changing the living room recently, which was basically the same as I thought. I hope to create a better learning and living environment for my baby, so today we will have a chat according to their family's design plan. Is it necessary to turn the living room into a study? How to make it more reasonable and not regret?
If these items are met, it is not too late to change them.
I know there must be many heartbroken mothers after finishing this transformation plan, but you'd better think about these problems before you really make up your mind to change.
1. What if I cancel the TV in the living room to watch movies?
The traditional living room is dominated by TV background wall and big TV. Family or friends sit on the sofa and watch TV together, especially those with babies at home. Generally speaking, they live with their elders. Old people are most afraid of loneliness and love to turn on TV during the day, whether they watch it or not.
However, I also found that people's lifestyles are changing, and there are more ways to get advice, not just TV. Grandma Gua, who is busy now, spends most of her time watching mobile phones, either chatting with her little sister or watching interesting videos and articles, but she really has little time to watch TV.
Many newly renovated living rooms, even if they are equipped with TVs, are often only turned on occasionally, or directly embedded in the wall, and pulled when not watching. It emphasizes the warmth of family and friends sitting together to chat and get together.
Another scheme is to install a projection in the living room. At present, many projectors can directly project onto a white wall. If there is no white wall, you can also install a retractable curtain, which can perfectly solve the problem of family watching movies and chasing dramas together, and the audio-visual experience has been improved.
The TV is gone. Do you want a sofa?
In the traditional concept, one of the functions of the living room is to receive guests. Please sit on the sofa and chat when the guests arrive home. It is also the living room of the family. Besides sleeping time, the living room is the most used place at home.
So the sofa in the living room is still needed, but the form can be changed.
First of all, sitting around is more recommended in form, so that family and friends can sit down and communicate face to face.
If the small-sized living room can't fit the whole set of big sofas, you can use single chair+double sofa, or use some movable single person sofa, such as futon and bean bag sofa.
Children like to sit on the ground and play, and a carpet can perfectly solve the problem of where to sit.
The large coffee table of the sofa group CP can be replaced. Now more and more people choose not to have a coffee table. Originally, they bought sofas with coffee tables, but now most of them don't match. As before, I replaced the big coffee table in the living room with a few less occupied ones, which instantly enlarged the living room space.
There used to be a coffee table at my girlfriend's house, but it was also a space problem. A few months later, the coffee table moved away. At present, there has been no coffee table for more than two years, and life is basically unaffected. However, children have a big playground, and occasionally they can run after them.
Therefore, to transform the living room space, you can first look at the living habits of your family. To sum up, if the following conditions are met, we can really consider the specific transformation plan.
1. The apartment itself has no study, so it needs to make room in the living room to put the desk bookshelf.
2. Most of the TVs in the living room are idle. Dismantling the TV wall and TV directly will not have much impact on family life. You can install TV in the bedroom of the elderly to meet the habit of watching TV for the elderly.
I hope to create a learning atmosphere by changing the environment, which is especially critical for families with children. As we all know, a good learning environment has a far-reaching impact on children.
Considering the lifeline, it is more comfortable to change it.
Before visiting Gao Xiao, I planted grass beside a row of bookshelves, which was ideal, beautiful and practical.
I told this idea to a designer friend and found it difficult to realize it at home, because it is not high enough to present this kind of aesthetic feeling, and if the bookshelf is too dark, it may be a little depressing.
Last week, my girlfriend asked a designer to help redesign, specially measured the size of the living room at home in advance, made dynamic changes in combination with windows and aisles, and described the usual living habits of her family to the designer. Finally, the designer made a plan based on these.
There are several ingenious ideas in this design scheme, which are particularly worth learning.
1. A bookcase with a whole wall looks better and more practical without a cupboard door.
Because of the obsession with the big bookcase in the library, my girlfriend decided to make all the original TV walls into bookcases, with a total height of 3.7 meters and no cupboard doors.
This open design is the simplest but classic, and it is also very friendly to people with children at home. The picture book is on the lower floor, and the baby can take it by himself.
But girlfriends are also worried that this kind of open bookcase is not easy to clean and easy to fall into dust. To prove it, I asked my friends who have this bookcase at home. In fact, a powerful vacuum cleaner can do this.
2. Enlarge the function of the dining table, one table can be used for both purposes.
The girlfriends' home is a typical small apartment with limited living room area, so it is unrealistic to buy a large workbench. So you can move the original dining table directly to the bookshelf, which is more convenient for reading and consulting materials or doing manual work with children.
Clever realization of a dual-purpose table, dining time is the dining table, usually everyone's workbench.
There are also many bloggers in Xiaohongshu who choose this method, which is very fashionable at present.
Similarly, designers also put their girlfriends in the desk of desktop computers and bookcases, which is also very space-saving.
Children need a lot of activity space, so the living room space needs to be properly left blank.
Our plan is to turn the living room into a study, but children need activities besides studying. In addition to the necessary desks and bookshelves in the living room, other furniture should be reduced as much as possible, which can not only leave blank space, but also make the room more spacious and allow children to move freely.
Because children have visual development needs, it is best to choose some brightly colored furniture for decoration.
Many people will also set up a blackboard wall to facilitate children to draw; You can also design some perforated boards and felt mats to paste children's paintings and various awards.
Guama finally said:
I know that mothers attach great importance to self-improvement and education. The plan to turn the living room into a study shared today is a new idea for everyone. On the one hand, it is convenient for us to study with our baby and create a better learning atmosphere for our baby. It is said that the best school district room is the study room at home. On the other hand, you can also let your family communicate more and stop playing with your mobile phone.
