As we swim in the ocean of color psychology, we find that each hue carries a unique emotional code. For instance, navy blue calms anxiety like a wise elder, while goose yellow awakens dormant energy like morning sunlight. I remember helping a friend renovate a child's room last year; we specially used mint green in the study area, and as a result, the child's homework efficiency increased by 30%; this is the power of color.
I love to compare lighting design to makeup – the main light is the foundation, table lamps are the eyeshadow, and light strips are the highlighter. There was a client who insisted on installing a crystal chandelier in the bedroom, only to find herself unable to sleep due to its glare every night. We later switched to an adjustable color temperature LED ceiling light and bedside diffused light strip, and her sleep quality improved dramatically. This reminds me of what lighting designers often say: the standard of good lighting is 'you can see well but cannot find the light source.'
The small apartment renovation project I participated in last year deepened my understanding that true design wisdom often resides in the details. That bedside table with a USB port serves both as a charging station and nightlight; the liftable tatami bed conceals four storage compartments underneath. The owner mentioned that since switching to this furniture, the time spent looking for items has reduced from an average of 15 minutes to just 30 seconds.
I have recently become enamored with controlling all the lights in my home via a mobile app; I discovered that lighting can be so much fun. In the morning, I wake up my body using 6500K cold light, and in the evening, I switch to 2700K warm light to relax my nerves. Once, when a friend visited, I specially set up 'movie mode', instantly transforming the bedroom into a private cinema, leaving them in awe.
Last month at the Milan Furniture Fair, I saw a smart wardrobe that 'breathes' — it automatically dehumidifies and deodorizes, and even recommends outfits based on the weather. This reminded me of a transforming tea table from a domestic brand, which easily converts into a four-person dining table. Modern furniture has long surpassed mere 'functionality'; it is evolving toward 'understanding you'.
In a recent case where I helped a girl living alone, folding furniture played a significant role. A bay window instantly became a tea room, a desk flipped into a makeup vanity, and a projection screen rose from under the bed. She said her 23sqm apartment now feels like a magical house, with surprises hidden in every corner.
Once, a client insisted on buying a leather storage stool, only for her cat to scratch it into a frayed mess in just three days. We later switched to a tech fabric material that preserved the texture and was resistant to scratching. This taught me that good materials should not only look good but also withstand the test of daily life.
Before helping a client organize, I always bring my 'space stethoscope' — tape measure, label maker, and storage boxes. I start with a 'spatial CT scan': 1. Create a three-dimensional storage map 2. Count the types and quantities of items 3. Analyze pathway rationality 4. Formulate a personalized plan. Last week, using this method, I helped a client free up 40% of their idle space.
I've recently become fond of open storage, arranging frequently worn clothes on a brass rack by color and lining up books by spine color. A friend remarked that my home looks like a boutique display, but the secret lies in: rotating displays every quarter, maintaining freshness while controlling the total amount of items.
The case of Ms. Wang left a deep impression on me: she transformed her grandfather's old suitcase into a coffee table and made a decorative frame out of her grandmother's embroidery. These memory-rich objects bring warmth to the space, and every time I step into her home, it's like reading a family biography.
My self-created 'Morning 5-Minute Cleaning Method' has changed many clients' lives: 1. Make the bed (1 minute) 2. Wipe the surfaces (2 minutes) 3. Put away miscellaneous items (1 minute) 4. Open windows for ventilation (1 minute). Practicing this ritual continuously for 21 days will turn cleaning into a conditioned reflex.
Every year during the spring and autumn equinoxes, I have my 'space airing day'. I take down and wash curtains, flip mattresses, and clean air conditioner filters. Once, I swept out a wedding ring that had been lost for two years under a client’s bed, and the homeowner was so excited she nearly cried. This convinced me that a thorough cleaning is not just about cleaning; it's a deep dialogue with the space.
