The most popular decoration style among Hong Kong homeowners

In Hong Kong, where every inch of land is valuable, the definition of "home" is often compressed into amazing high density. Hong Kong owners' preference for interior decoration style can make up for the negative psychology of "small" living space to a certain extent. The ultimate balance between practicality and beauty, every inch of space carries the desire for quality life. What is the most popular decoration style among Hong Kong owners? How can Design House HK help owners realize unlimited life imagination in limited space?

Hong Kong homeowners’ preference for decoration style: aesthetic pursuit under pragmatism

Modern minimalist style: the evergreen mainstream king

The concept of "Less is More" is deeply rooted in people's hearts. Clear lines, simple shapes, neutral or soft tones (such as beige, light gray, wood color) create an open, bright, and non-oppressive visual experience, perfectly meeting the needs of small spaces. Minimalist design and decoration are not simply empty and cold, but through focusing on material texture (such as matte paint, natural wood grain, stone texture), exquisite hidden storage (such as platform beds, built-in cabinets), and adding a sense of design through lines and geometric shapes. A uniquely shaped lamp, an abstract painting or a textured carpet can all be the finishing touch.

Japanese minimalist style (Wabi-sabi/Zen style): Eastern philosophy of tranquility and far-reaching

Emphasize nature, simplicity, blank space and tranquility. Make extensive use of natural materials (logs, bamboo, rattan, cotton and linen), soft earth tones, and low furniture to create a peaceful, relaxing, and return-to-nature atmosphere. Attach great importance to storage order and accept the imperfect laws of nature. Magnify the essence of tranquility and storage, weaken the overly primitive or old-fashioned sense of wabi-sabi, and pay more attention to creating a spiritual pure land in the bustling city through warm wood tones, soft lighting design (such as shoji paper effect), and powerful customized storage systems (such as tatami floor storage and Japanese-style multi-functional rooms). It is especially suitable for owners who pursue decompression and healing effects.

Nordic style: warm and bright pragmatism

Nordic style is functional, close to nature, bright and transparent. White is the main color, with light wood color and soft color embellishments (such as gray-blue, dirty pink, and light yellow). The furniture design is classic and practical, full of humanized considerations, and likes to use fabrics, blankets, and green plants to add warmth and life. Improving brightness, functionality and warm characteristics is very consistent with Hong Kong's needs. The key is to avoid being too cold, and to emphasize the creation of a comfortable and vibrant atmosphere in a limited space through carefully selected Nordic classic design items, warm lighting levels (such as multi-light source arrangement), and green plants.

Light luxury style: low-key exquisite style

The light luxury style is based on simplicity. It conveys a sense of luxury that is not ostentatious but high quality through the selection of materials, exquisite details and appropriate metal elements (such as brass, rose gold, and stainless steel). Common elements include marble textures, velvet fabrics, art glass, and designer lamps and decorations. Hong Kong owners prefer lightness rather than luxury, avoiding large areas of exaggerated gold or heavy materials to reduce "tacky". The focus is on enhancing the texture and details of the space, such as an exquisite metal edge, a unique chandelier, a small area of ​​marble background wall, or a high-quality velvet single chair. The light luxury style is the choice of young professionals and owners who pursue a taste for life to show their personality.

Industrial style: an alternative choice for personal expression

Rough, primitive, and undecorated beauty is an important element of industrial style. Exposed brick walls, cement ceilings and floors, metal pipes, and retro lamps are its hallmarks, and the colors are mainly black, gray, and brown. Pure industrial style can be depressing in small spaces, so light industrial style is more popular or used as a local embellishment. Microcement technology may be used on a feature wall, paired with metal iron furniture or lamps, or metal frame glass partitions. It is often seen in open units to enhance the overall harmonious feeling, and is also a popular choice for young owners.

Regardless of their preferred style, Hong Kong homeowners face common core challenges, which are also the core of Design House HK’s professional value:

Extremely limited space

How to meet the complex needs of living, storage, work, and leisure?

Professional space planning

We are well versed in the art of "spatial magic". We use professional software for precise measurement and 3D simulation, scientifically plan the flow of traffic, and break the inherent thinking of the pattern (such as open kitchen combined with living room, demolishing non-load-bearing walls).

The ultimate storage system

Rather than simply stacking cabinets, we provide customized storage solutions for the whole house, from floor-to-ceiling built-in cabinets, multifunctional platform beds (both storage and sleeping), space utilization under stairs, to clever customization of corners and odd positions, so that every centimeter can be put to good use. High-quality hardware is used to ensure convenient and efficient storage.

Multifunctional furniture customization

Design and customize folding tables, lifting tables, hidden beds, retractable dining tables, sofas with storage functions, etc., to achieve efficient and flexible conversion of space.

Precise budget control

We only charge the initial design fee for interior design, which clarifies the priorities and allows the owner to have a better grasp of the interior design costs and budget. We also have a rich network of supplier resources and recommend alternative materials that have excellent appearance and quality and meet the budget. In addition, in order to eliminate hidden charges, we will provide clear and transparent project quotations so that you can control the budget throughout the process.

Pursue efficiency and peace of mind

The pace of urban life is fast, and owners have no time to keep a close eye on the decoration throughout the entire process. They worry about delays in construction, substandard quality, and poor communication. Each of our decoration projects is followed up by interior designers and project managers throughout the process, and they maintain close contact with the owners.

One-stop standardized construction process and supervision

We adopt a mature and standardized construction process, conduct strict acceptance inspections at key nodes (water and electricity, plastering, carpentry, and painting), and provide progress photos/video reports so that owners can always grasp the on-site situation even when they are busy. From demand communication, conceptual design, detailed drawings, construction management, material procurement, soft furnishings to final completion and cleaning, we provide a truly one-stop service, saving you the trouble of multiple docking.

Style is easy to become outdated and personalized needs

Our designers will communicate deeply with the owners to understand their habits, hobbies, family structure, and emotional needs, and tailor a unique plan to make your home truly your spiritual home. In terms of design style, we recommend the strategy of "simple and classic hard decoration, flexible and personalized soft decoration". The basic decoration (walls, floors, ceilings, and main cabinets) tends to be neutral and durable. The soft decoration elements such as furniture, lamps, fabrics, and artworks are used to show personality and fashion sense. The replacement cost in the future is low, and the space is often changed and renewed. Technology can also be seamlessly integrated into the design according to the needs of the owner, and intelligent solutions such as lighting control, air conditioning and curtain linkage, and security monitoring are provided to enhance convenience and a sense of the future.
