This case showcases a retro‑style, whole‑home design. Let’s take a look together!
Behind the living room sofa lies an open‑plan study. The desk is IKEA’s classic white model, positioned snugly behind the sofa for a compact layout. With the sofa backed by a solid piece of furniture, it also provides a sense of psychological security. By the window sits Isamu Noguchi’s paper lamp, which has been quite popular in recent years. Noguchi’s designs are often called “artworks of paper and light,” exuding strong artistic flair while delivering warm, comfortable illumination.
The master bedroom features a simple arrangement with almost no superfluous decoration; the real eye‑catcher is the oversized spherical pendant light occupying the space’s central position.
In the kitchen, the walls, ceiling, floor, and cabinetry all share a unified color—high‑gloss painted cabinet doors—creating a cohesive, minimalist aesthetic.
The bathroom maintains a consistent color scheme throughout, visually enhancing both cleanliness and spaciousness. Here, a small material experiment was conducted: instead of traditional wall tiles, the walls were finished with Foleg’s bathroom paint, which forms an automatic protective film upon application, providing excellent waterproofing.
To the left of the entrance stands a half‑height shoe cabinet, offering storage for the homeowner’s everyday shoes and indoor slippers. With limited dining space, a round table paired with three uniquely styled chairs creates a chic yet relaxed vibe. Since this area is far from the window and receives poor natural light, spotlights were used to supplement the lighting, while a pendant light above the table adds warmth and coziness to mealtimes.
That concludes our introduction to this retro‑style, whole‑home design project. If you like it, feel free to leave us a comment below!
