Interior Design for a Rural Villa
This interior furnishing design is an attempt I made during my "Furnishing Design" course at the academy. I had never worked on any interior design-related projects before, so this was both a challenging and exciting experience for me. Although the course required us to design interiors for a fictional user, the choice of what kind of user to create was entirely up to us. As a result, this interior design is more of a personal vision of a beautiful life that I imagined for myself.
The core materials—various types of wood panels, stone, and plants—are used to create the style of "deep forest retreat." The off-white textured linen embodies the simplicity and Zen essence of Japanese design. Complemented by black-veined marble, it injects a sense of modern rationality into the overall aesthetic.
The first floor of the villa is designed for hosting guests, dining, and social gatherings, featuring a vibrant, open, and bright style. The sunroom has been converted into a tea room, which also serves as the male owner’s primary space for casual social interactions. This setting reflects his interest in Eastern culture and is conveniently located near the piano for discussions on piano art with friends.
It caters to the male owner’s interest in Eastern culture by creating a tranquil, forest-like tea room atmosphere, while also meeting his relatively low-frequency and casual guest-receiving needs.
The living room on the first floor is primarily designed as a space for gatherings with family and friends, so the design is more open and lively. A grand piano is placed beside the sofa, allowing the male owner to perform music for his guests.
The slightly protruding pine branches not only echo the pine tree decoration in the living room but also attract the attention of the viewer. The staircase is lined with white pebbles, giving the small indoor space the feel of a Japanese outdoor courtyard.
The southern side of the second floor houses the owners' living and resting spaces, designed to be intimate and atmospheric. The living room features a movie projector, screen, and record player, reflecting their love for movies and music, with space for dancing after dinner. The bedside table offers ample room for books, allowing the female owner easy access to her reading material.
The living room on the second floor serves as the main space for the male and female owners. It is equipped with a movie projector, record player, bedside bookshelf, and other elements to cater to their daily activities and preferences. The overall style maintains the "forest retreat" theme while being more intimate and atmospheric compared to the first floor.
The southern side of the third floor is dedicated to the female owner's study and office, while the northern side includes a guest bedroom for family and friends. The study is designed with a rational, modern style, reflecting her preferences as a sociology professor.
The study serves as the female owner's space for reading, writing, working, and receiving guests, reflecting her personal traits. Therefore, compared to other areas, this study is more modern, rational, and rigorous.
