IThe newly purchased house is a rough house, which is like a picture waiting for us to draw carefully, full of infinite possibilities and challenges. Since the area of the house is not very large, how to make full and reasonable use of every inch of space has become the primary consideration when we decorate. Some time ago, small duplex houses were favored in the decoration trend, and this unique design style can not only increase the layering of space, but also greatly improve the utilization of space. So, with his bold ideas and unique insights into the use of space, my husband decided to convert the house into a small duplex.

NoNeedless to say, this decision is challenging, as it requires an in-depth understanding and grasp of the structure and renovation process of the house. First of all, our house has an advantage, that is, the ceiling height is relatively high. Originally, we considered making a ceiling to improve the aesthetics of the space, but after a comprehensive trade-off, we found that the house type is smaller, and if we do a ceiling, it may compress the space to a certain extent and appear depressing. It is a more sensible choice to convert into a small duplex, which can cleverly expand the space of one floor into two floors, and realize double the use of space.

pick upComing down is the key construction link. With his rich experience and exquisite skills, the master spent a week carefully crafting the compartment. He first did a good job of the frame structure, which is like laying a solid foundation for the small duplex, allowing us to clearly see the layout and structure of the future space. During the fabrication of the compartments, we chose plywood as the wall material. Splints have many advantages, it is relatively lightweight, not only easy to install, but also very simple to process.

We only need to apply paint directly to the surface of the splint to give it an aesthetically pleasing effect. More importantly, because our decoration design is carried out within a reasonable and legal range, and there is no illegal work such as removing load-bearing walls, we do not need to worry even if the property is inspected at home. Our renovations not only comply with building safety codes, but also add a unique charm to the home space.

floorAs a key part of the ladder connecting the upper and lower floors, its design and material selection are also crucial. We chose wood planks for the treads, mainly because they give the staircase a good texture. When we step up the wooden staircase, we can feel a warmth and comfort that complements the whole home environment.

And, taking advantage of the upper space of this small duplex, we can plan it as a bedroom, providing a quiet and comfortable place for the family to rest. In fact, there are many units that are now fond of this design, because it not only increases the usable area, but also adds a different kind of spice to the home life. We're even considering building a small utility room on it to store some daily clutter and make the home space more tidy and organized.

whileTowards the end of the renovation project, we put the furniture in place and painted the walls with a large white wall. In an instant, the whole space was revitalized. The simplicity of the large white walls complements the matching of the furniture, creating a simple yet warm atmosphere. If you transform the balcony into floor-to-ceiling windows, the effect is even more stunning. Floor-to-ceiling windows allow for maximum natural light, making the space feel more spacious and bright, as if it is one with the outside world.

When the neighbors saw the decoration results of our home, they all expressed their envy and liking, and some neighbors even regretted that their home did not think of such an ingenious design when decorating. Our small duplex not only creates a comfortable and wonderful home for ourselves, but also provides an example of inspiration for the neighbors. Have you ever encountered a similar space utilization problem during the renovation process? How did you solve it? What other unique ideas or suggestions do you have for the decoration design of small duplexes?
