This case combines the techniques and thinking of maximalism and Eclecticism, and pays homage to Merriam-webster's aesthetics in the grand framework of retro French style. Incorporate color and composition from “Asteroid city” and “The Grand Budapest Hotel” into the interior design. Life is already very tiring, and home should be colorful. The entrance is made of curved glass to create a romantic and dreamy fairy tale garden, with a hollowed out part above to increase the sense of psychological breathing. The top is designed with an asteroid ring structure to break the square impression of space, further increasing coherence and fun. Use close-up shots to describe the local beauty, with a giant floral arrangement wrapped in transparent glass, connecting and dividing the foyer, dining room, living room, and hallway. This not only preserves functional independence, but also connects the line of sight, allowing family members to see this scenery everywhere. Designers believe that in today's increasingly advanced technology and convenience of life, homes should have a sense of relaxation, beauty, and romance. The ultimate aesthetics can help residents overcome or even willingly accept some so-called functional inconveniences. A charming home should not be restrained, minimalist, or boring. It should be able to accommodate the enthusiasm of its residents and their love for life. The difficulty of this case lies in how to skillfully connect so many colors. By adjusting the lightness of the characters and using the similar colors between different materials to respond to the color proportion, we use the highly saturated Makaron hue, with Tiffany blue and bright yellow as the main tone, and at the same time insert many colors with different lightness, and use color to switch between the two dimensions of retro and innovation. The front book wall collides with dark blue and orange to create a strong visual effect, using colors to change the temperature of the home.
