CHARTRETTES - 25m2 | Conception-Rénovation d'une Cuisine

EDDL Design

Dans une maison datant du milieu du 19ieme siècle, la cuisine actuelle de notre client est un grand espace baigné de lumière, qui demande un rajeunissement, car souffre du manque de rangement, et manque de plan de travail. Une succession de meubles de cuisine juste posés sans recherche d’harmonie et dépareillés. Le souhait de notre client est de repenser cette pièce pour qu’elle devienne cuisine avec espace repas, arrière cuisine et buanderie. La lumière est traversante : une fenêtre et une porte vitrée à chaque extrémité de la pièce. La clarté et la lumière doivent être conservées. Les deux colonnes seront si possible cachées. Deux points d’eau préexistent dans la pièce. Deux entrées, conserver un visuel aéré dès l’arrivée dans la pièce. Les poutres au plafond sont conservées, mises en valeur par un retour au bois (décapage-aérogommage) ou simplement repeintes. Petites verrières sur mesure pour séparer les espaces cuisine, coin-repas, buanderie et arrière cuisine. Matériaux de prédilection : le bois, le verre avec une petite touche de style contemporain et industriel

Gym/Yoga Studio

Anima Lunar Collective

Gym & Yoga Studio In this project we created a multi-functional space. It was important to balance the energy flow in the space as the client wanted to be able to achieve high intensity training and also to relax unwind. We introduced large windows and sliding doors to allow the energy to flow through the building. Another challenge was introducing storage while not overcrowding the space. We achieved this by building a small second level platform which is accessible via retractable steps. Our choice of palette supported the clients request for a multifunctional space, we brought in a balance of elements focusing predominately on water and wood. This also enhances and ties in the beautiful lush green landscape connecting to the Biophilic theory that we can connect to co-regulate with nature. This project included the full interior package. This is a restorative space that positively impact health and wellbeing using Holistic Interior Design.

Laundry Room Design Ideas with Exposed Beam

Laundry designs seldom receive the attention they deserve, especially considering how often they’re used. A well-planned laundry, complete with built-in cabinets, a laundry sink, washing machine and clothes dryer, can serve many needs. It can help simplify your household chores; store drying clothes and cleaning products; and can even provide a spot for you to groom pets. Because of its hardworking, multipurpose potential, a laundry renovation is a worthwhile investment. Smart laundry designs have layouts that save you time and effort. For example, a washing machine and clothes dryer should be positioned next to one another or stacked, and laundry baskets and hampers should be within easy reach; while an ironing board should be stowed by a power point. Ample storage, bench space for laundry baskets and practical lighting are also essential. Browse the photos on Houzz for efficient laundry ideas, from layouts and storage to appliances, and strike up a conversation with the designers of your favourite laundry renovations.

How do I add storage to my laundry?

A combination of storage solutions is key to running an efficient laundry. Include shelves above or beside the washing machine to store washing detergent, softener and other cleaning products; and laundry bins for dirty clothes. Consider a custom-built cupboard for an ironing board, so it can easily fold out when you need it, or mount the ironing board directly to the wall or on the back of a door. A retractable clothesline is a handy addition to dry delicate clothes, while a clothes hanger mounted to the wall is ideal for hanging freshly pressed shirts.

What else can I use my laundry for?

Multipurpose laundry rooms or utility rooms can help save valuable space in your home. The laundry sink can be used to bathe your furry friends; your laundry cupboard can store sports equipment, gardening tools and umbrellas; and a spare nook can be filled with a desk and chair to create an office space while you wait for your load to finish. If your laundry is at the front of the house, consider using it as a drop station for mail, mobile phones and keys. Include a bench seat or stool, wall-mounted hooks for bags and a coat stand and it can even be used as a place to get the kids organised before you walk out the front door.

How can I decorate my laundry?

Laundries are usually filled to the brim with appliances and storage, so take advantage of your walls when decorating and use cheery paint colours or wallpaper to make doing the chores more pleasant! Fun signs, posters, murals and wall decals will also add character to the space. Think of your storage as decor, too – look for bins and baskets with decorative touches, and use brightly-coloured or patterned hangers.
