Program review

Unlike the grand building and stylish adornment in the western, the building in my hometown and most eastern countries are comparatively simple and highly functional. In my hometown, land resource is very limited because of the size of our territory. Living spaces of every family are usually very small. Therefore, functional designs of houses are very important.

The most awesome interior design I had ever seen was the one I saw on the TV program. The setting is taken in the urban area of Japan where living spaces are also very limited. The house had already been reformed for several times and the arrangement of the rooms is weird. Toilet was the entrance of the house. Abundant furniture and commodity piled up at the passageway. Sunlight can hardly come in the house with all these stuff. The family had to open the light even in the morning. Furthermore, the family of four members all slept in one room crowded with furniture. Living under such condition was really unbearable, so they invited an architect to reform their house. The architect was a specialist in interior design. He first tore down the house and redesigned the arrangement. Part of the roof was replaced by the transport board in order to bring in sunlight. Moreover, the architect set up some special storage under the floor. The spaces under the floor, step, and bed were all used to store the commodity and not often used item. Therefore, living space became wider and more comfortable and every member had their own room. Kitchen was the place where had the biggest change. The space was crowded by a lot of cooking appliance and condiment and it can hardly accommodate dining table. The architect set up a big storage for the appliance and multipurpose foldable table which can be stored in the wall when not used. The mother of the family became more interested in cooking because of this convenience.

The appearance changed a lot, too. It used to be rustic metal and eroded wood. Bright color wood and antirust metal was adopted to keep the exterior simple and easy to clean. Home is the space where can provide relaxation and comfort to mind and spirit. Comfortable and clean environment can lessen the nerve and refill the energy. This TV program had already successful helped a lot of family reform their house.
