In the trend of architectural design, dome homes have become the new favorite of designers and owners who pursue innovation and practicality. Do you want to create a unique dome home? The open living scene of the geometric dome and the clever functional partitioning scheme of the curved wall. Are these interesting to you?
This article will deeply dismantle the ingenuity and mystery of the design inside dome homes for home design enthusiasts and professionals. Let's take a look at how space inside dome homes breaks the shackles of tradition and achieves the integration of function and art.
Structural Features Inside Dome Homes
Creating a stunning dome house inside requires a deep understanding of its structural features. These unique structures are the source of inspiration for interior design. Here are the features that are worth paying attention to inside a dome house:
- Circular Layout: The circular layout inside dome homes breaks the conventional straight lines and right-angle boundaries. This is different from traditional architecture. This unique outline gives space a sense of fluidity.
- High Ceilings: The iconic towering tops of dome homes stretch the sense of depth of space. Such a high ceiling provides ample space for installing characteristic chandeliers and art installations. The high ceiling also increases the interior space, making the interior brighter and more transparent.
- Open Space: The integrity inside a dome, the interior has no wall design. This forms an open space layout. This non-partitioned design provides room for free play for flexible division of living, dining, and leisure areas. Especially inside the geodesic dome house, the geodesic structural design provides more ample open space.
- Acoustic and Temperature Distribution: The unique circular surface affects sound propagation. Acoustic treatment needs to be considered in design to avoid echo interference. In terms of temperature distribution, hot air tends to rise and gather at the top. Therefore, the ventilation system can be planned at the top.
Innovative and Functional Dome Interior Design Ideas
Based on the structural features of dome houses introduced above, we will now introduce you to some innovative and practical design ideas inside dome homes, including design layout and furniture placement.
A Center-Focused Design
In the design inside dome homes, the center-oriented design can maximize the charm of the circular space. The core functional area of the house can be used to place the most important facilities. For example, the reception area of the living room is set in the center directly below the dome. Place a circular sofa combination and arrange a circular low table around the sofa. Hang a large artistic chandelier above the center. Make the entire center-oriented layout both beautiful and practical.
Symmetrical Layout
Taking advantage of the circular layout inside dome homes, the symmetrical interior design can create a harmonious and balanced visual aesthetic. Based on the central axis of the dome, the functional areas are arranged symmetrically on both sides of the space. For example, the bedroom area is set on both sides, and the beds and bedside tables of the same style and color are configured to form a mirror effect. Such a design brings a regular and stable visual experience.
Modular Furnitures
The curved walls and irregular boundaries inside dome homes often make it difficult for traditional furniture to fit in. Modular furniture successfully solves this problem. Modular cabinets do not need to be installed separately. Modular bathrooms are more flexible. They contain all the supporting facilities needed for personal washing. Modular bedrooms are also designed, functional, and colorful for you.
Modular design can inject customized practical ingenuity into every corner of the dome house. It should be noted that you need to find a manufacturer that specializes in modular furniture and dome houses to prevent incompatibility.
Controllable Skylight
The controllable skylight located at the center inside dome homes is the finishing touch of the space design. The electrically operated smart skylight can be flexibly adjusted according to time and needs. The shape and size of the skylight can also be customized as needed, and the round skylight creates different light and views. Combined with the intelligent control system, the controllable skylight can also be linked with indoor lighting and temperature control equipment, truly realizing the integration of technology and architectural aesthetics.
Loft Design
High ceilings inside dome homes provide a foundation for loft design. A platform can be built at two-thirds of the height below the dome to create a suspended bedroom. A simple straight ladder connects the upper and lower spaces, saving ground space and adding a sense of spatial hierarchy. For example, the loft area can be used as a sleeping space. Below can be a modular bathroom, achieving an efficient layout of "one room for multiple uses".
Hang Something Up
Also, with the high ceiling design inside dome homes, a large artistic chandelier is hung in the center. The light diffuses downward, illuminating the entire interior and enhancing the sense of depth of the space. Hanging green plants, vines, and art installations can fill the visual gap caused by the high ceiling. The staggered hanging layout can enrich the spatial level. Utilizing the top space truly realizes the full utilization of the space.
Touches of Sphere-Shaped Decor
Ingeniously incorporating round or spherical elements can make the space seamless from structure to decoration. Round coffee tables and spherical seats can echo the round structure of the dome. For decorations, the wall can be hung with round art frames, wave-shaped circular wall lamps, or staggered spherical mirrors. Layered design details, such as spherical ornaments and round carpets, can show the unique taste of the homeowner.
Bringing the Outdoor Colors Inside
How can you make inside dome homes echo the outdoor landscape? If the house is located in a forest, you can use different shades of green as the main color of the interior. For example, use dark green curtains and match them with natural wood furniture to replicate the layering of trees and vegetation in the forest. The same goes for other places. Just choose the colors of nature to decorate your dome.
