There is one detail, I suspect that Zhang Dongsheng has traveled through time...
Since "The Hidden Corner" was first broadcast, hot memes such as mountain climbing, white boats, bald heads, etc. have always been everywhere. , various hidden details and Easter eggs have also been analyzed clearly by netizens. Today, we want to take a look at the homes in this drama. Everyone's home reflects their different psychology and mentality. This is exactly why a drama can become a good drama. It is not a cookie-cutter model house, but the characteristics of the characters are integrated into the home. Let’s take a look below.
01. Zhu Chaoyang’s Home/
Dark green, terrazzo, rattan, are there any other retro and trendy Internet celebrity elements that his home does not have?
In the series, Zhu Chaoyang’s home received unanimous praise from almost everyone. The all-green walls and reddish wood are almost synonymous with old-fashioned and outdated from today’s perspective. But considering that the storyline is set in 2005, it sounds like it’s not that far away at first glance, and 15 years have passed at a glance. The right time difference gives the decoration style of Zhu Chaoyang's home a bit of a retro feel, which in turn evokes the childhood memories of many people born in the 1990s.
Judging from the exterior, Zhu Chaoyang’s home is located in the old city of Ningzhou, surrounded by low bungalows. Although it is an old house, it is very bright inside. It has two bedrooms and two living rooms, which is just right for a mother and her son. There is also a small terrace outside the restaurant, and the three little protagonists can easily go up to the house and unveil the tiles.
The storage rack on the wall of the entrance is IKEA's HEMNES. After entering the door, you can hang your clothes, hats and sundries on hand on this rack, which is very practical in function. On the other side, the lace covering on the refrigerator is also full of nostalgia.
The cabinet next to the dining table looks ordinary, but it is actually the signature secretary cabinet design of Danish design master Borge Mogensen. There is a roller shutter door on the bottom floor of the cabinet, which can be closed to hide the sundries placed inside. The table below can be pulled out and used as a tabletop when necessary. The taste of Zhu Chaoyang's family is really hard to understand, and it's shocking to see it.
The entire house is paved with terrazzo flooring, which is very suitable for the hot and rainy weather in subtropical areas, and has become a trend again today. The arch design of the kitchen is also a good way to share the lighting in the kitchen and make the entire house more transparent.
There is a three-person sofa on the other side of the living room. Tea cups, thermos bottles and floor-standing fans are also old items full of age. It can be seen from the selection of coffee tables and standing cabinets that although Zhu Chaoyang's mother Zhou Chunhong is often away from home, she is also very accepting of open storage. And isn’t that chair covered by colorful cushions the famous cantilever chair Cesca chair?
There is a fan-shaped decorative window on the wall behind the sofa. The bamboo pattern on the frosted glass adds a bit of elegance to the entire living room, which is very characteristic of the 1980s and 1990s.
The pentagonal corner cabinet on the other side of the living room is also a very classic example of corner space utilization.
Zhu Chaoyang's room is the most talked about place in the whole play. The sloping roof between the two windows is the biggest feature of this room. Small decorations belonging to the protagonist can be seen everywhere in the room, and the stickers that no longer match his age are still well preserved, condensing the traces of a boy's growth.
The sticker on the door is a Wangzai doll. The bookshelf is filled with various tutoring books. The globes, trophies and certificates on the bookshelf immediately highlight Zhu Chaoyang's image as a good student with high IQ.
There is a dictionary on the desk, and you can also see two big words written by Zhu Chaoyang for himself - Come on, it's a bit cute. Some Douban netizens even found the same desk lamp as the top student in the play in their own homes.
The bathroom in Zhu Chaoyang’s home is between the two bedrooms, and the sink is placed separately at the entrance, which also effectively separates dry and wet areas.
And the mirror that Zhu Chaoyang once looked at himself also had a lot of background. According to the sharp eyes of Haohaozhu APP user Hatori Amon, this is a unique Danish medieval wall mirror, which was bought by a discerning crew. There is a small area of ??rattan under the mirror surface, and there are curved brass-colored metal strips on both sides.
Perhaps in order to pay tribute to "Requiem for a Dream", the director arranged a bathtub in this small bathroom. The dense tile grid on the wall is extremely depressing.

02. Zhang Dongsheng's home
Good taste of middle-class modern style
p>
Compared with the difficult life of Zhu Chaoyang's mother and son, Zhang Dongsheng can be said to have entered the middle class early in the small town of Ningzhou. His family lives in the elevator room of the new apartment, has a car and a cat.
As Zhang Dongsheng’s son-in-law, the house is probably paid for by his father-in-law and mother-in-law. The decoration is elegant and comfortable, but sometimes it seems too advanced, and it is not at all like the home concept that a teacher at a children’s palace in a small town would have in 2005. Haozhu APP user Hatori Amon also discovered that the sofa on one side of the living room is IKEA’s LANDSKRONA series double sofa. For only 2,999 yuan, you can also have the same style!
What is even more terrifying is the air purifier in the corner of the living room. Judging from its appearance, it should be a classic Philips model. But air purifiers are an appliance that has only begun to become popular in Chinese households in recent years! Didn’t Teacher Zhang really come from time travel?
Similar to Zhu Chaoyang’s parents, Zhang Dongsheng is also a fan of medieval furniture. Hatoriyamen discovered again that the side cabinets in Zhang Dongsheng’s restaurant are from the NORHOR Nordic Expression Melbourne series.
We searched according to the picture and found that the bed in Zhang Dongsheng’s bedroom is also a double bed with arc fabric from Nordic expression, echoing the background wall behind it.
When we were horrified by Teacher Zhang’s bald head, we suddenly discovered that the page-turning clock on the shelf behind him was not TWEMCO’s classic page-turning alarm clock? The current price is over RMB 1,500!
The coolest thing about Zhang Dongsheng’s house is undoubtedly the balcony. It seems that Teacher Zhang usually has a very leisurely life at the Children’s Palace, and still has a lot of time to create a tropical rain forest at home. According to the plant species that netizens can distinguish with the naked eye, they include phalaenopsis, calla lily, tiger orchid, dripping Guanyin, smooth sailing, etc.
Contrary to the cold modernity of other rooms, the plants growing wantonly on the balcony are also the externalization of Zhang Dongsheng's inner world. After committing a crime, bite an apple and sit on the balcony to enjoy the flowers and relieve stress. This is not a luxury that all murderers can have!
Ah, Zhang Dongsheng, what other secrets do you have that we don’t know?
At the end, did everyone pick Zhang Dongsheng or Zhu Chaoyang?
Anyway, I really want to have the same sky garden as Zhang Dongsheng!
