房屋建造和建筑细节的流行趋势和时尚或室内设计一样,但就像所有的流行趋势一样,有时候回头看我们会后悔。可惜的是,建筑功能上来说,后悔了也很难改掉。有一些过时的趋势要不就是毫无意义要不就是让人大失所望,下面是最不应该用在你定制新家的一些细节。 中空墙 中空墙算是一种装饰墙,2000年刚开始的时候每家人手一个。中空墙不同于一般光滑向上的墙,建商会在墙靠近天花板的地方做一个镂空,除了放一些装饰外毫无意义。但住的时间久了,很多业主会发现中空太高了,很难频繁去换装饰物,就常常只剩积灰了。很多人现在一般就选择把中空封起来,或者最起码直接忽略他们。有些人页也找到一些办法装饰中空墙,但我们觉得大多数人都同意他们不会在中空墙龛上放植物。 室内装饰性支柱 支柱或者圆柱是历史最悠久的建筑细节之一。最开始,它们的作用不仅在于装饰,更多的是结构上的用途。虽然现在还是有人用支柱或者圆柱支撑结构,单稍早之前的趋势大柱子都是用作装饰的,用于让别墅看起来更高雅,但现在这样就有点俗气了。因此除非你需要用柱子支撑起屋顶,我们都不建议你用假柱子。 假百叶窗 百叶窗曾经算得上家中功能性很强的物件,保护室外免于风吹雨淋阳光照射,也能够保护百叶窗后的玻璃。但近些年,窗户变得越发强大,百叶窗不再是必需品了,但因为百叶窗好看,因此会让房子看起来更吸引人,至今仍在被使用。假百叶窗即使只作为装饰,也应该能够向真百叶窗一样完全遮住窗户。很多人购买的假百叶窗太小或者太窄因此让百叶窗不太好看,如果想要增加建筑细节,也要用对的方法加。 转角壁炉 壁炉曾经是一个屋子里最关键的物件,曾经发挥让住在一个家的家庭温暖并充满活力的作用。而现在,就算在寒冷的多伦多的定制别墅中,壁炉也不是必需品了。但壁炉仍是一个标志。不妙的是,近几年,开始有人将壁炉放在转交处,转角壁炉的设计非常有争议,让客厅中的目光焦点编的很困难,也让家居排列变得困难,很多时候看起来还特别奇怪。因此设计定制别墅时,记住千万别把壁炉放在转角了。 错层客厅 七十年代时,下沉式客厅和餐厅非常火爆,很多那时建成的家都会有下沉式客厅。而近些年对下沉式客厅的讨论一般认为有碍通行,容易绊倒人,不再是一个酷炫的建筑细节了。错层客厅没有任何除了让空间更清晰的作用。现在很多人为了有更开放的空间都不喜欢错层客厅。下沉式的错层客厅虽然听起来挺舒适的,但对室内设计、地板和家居布局来说都是一个挑战。 结论 当然有一些我们现在在运用的建筑细节未来也会被弃置,流行趋势就是这样。想了解更多关于定制别墅的知识,随时联系我们。我们期待为你建造你梦想中的定制别墅(希望是没有中空墙的!)
