Is it the color scheme for China people to live poetically?

Space is not a container full of objects, but the residence of human consciousness, and architecture is the poetics of dwelling. We are in the house, and the house is in us. We build houses poetically, and houses also build us spiritually.

Gaston Bachelard

When I think of the color matching of Japanese poetic dwelling, I will think of such white wall+log color wooden furniture! We call it Japanese style, Japanese Muji style ... Living in such a space, we subconsciously started the parting ceremony, and Zen thoughts flowed through 3,000 hair tips from our fingertips.

When you think of China's interior design style, you will see a new Chinese light luxury model room full of luxury or self-seriousness. Living in such a space greatly satisfies the vanity that people need to improve after trying to accumulate wealth, and also urges us to create more wealth.

Is there a new color matching trend with exclusive Chinese space, bearing the ancient imprint of China culture and the universal Zen of the modern world, so that those of us who like to return to the simple life and inner peace at home can temporarily forget the Nordic home, Moranti color system and Japanese style?

China Zen was inspired by the traditional old houses in China. Although the present interior decoration style in China is a bit grandiose, the traditional architecture is still very simple and atmospheric. For example, in the above picture, the wall with a large area of blank space has yellowed over time and turned into a different beige tone, which is directly printed with black lacquer wooden columns and wooden beams. Equipped with complete sets of walnut furniture and gray brick floor. A little red tassel and blue vase become the highlights, and the whole style blends into one.

"Fan Ji" is my personal favorite domestic furniture brand. They have a series of houses called "Dida Line", and the color matching is exactly the same as the old houses in the above picture. It seems that they have also done a lot of exploration in this regard. All the furniture of "Dida" series are displayed in beige space with earthy flavor, giving people a feeling of returning to the countryside. Exquisite furniture brings residents back to the city.

The use of color in the space is very simple, with beige walls, gray floors and complete sets of dark wood furniture. Drawing lessons from such color matching, if we can use colors well in three aspects: wall, floor and main furniture, the simple pastoral interior will be basically done.

Surface of the wall

Apart from Fan Ji, Beijing independent home brands "Shan Yin Chuang Xiang" and "Home Home" also use khaki as the overall color of space in their works. This may not be a coincidence: China's Chinese characters also have the meaning of orientation. The middle position of the five elements belongs to soil, which corresponds to yellow.

The yellow wall is not only the favorite of Zen minority brands, but the beige wall is also used in the ostentatious fine decoration model room to please Party A's father. It can be seen that this color returning to the natural origin is attractive to people's subconscious.

Jordan, a well-known Nordic paint brand that has made great achievements in the study of popular colors, launched Humble Yellow with Asian personality in 2020. Their definition of this color is: low-key, humble and full of power.

Axel Vervoordt, the Belgian international silent wind master, also used this kind of yellow land. Coupled with the scenery outside the window and the empty heights, it really gives people the feeling of a barn castle in the suburbs. It confirms the definition of yellow in Dulux paint: painting a yellow wall can make a room full of sunshine and vitality.

The living room built by the Nordic architect Vincent van Duysen used similar beige walls, the wooden floor was the same color, and even the decorative paintings on the wall were the same color. The whole space melts in soft beige, with less contrast, so the space is more spacious.

These three yellows are mainly promoted by Dulux in different tones, and transmit sunshine and warmth in a progressive way. From light ivory color to soft warm sand color to thick desert yellow, the color and energy sense are gradually strengthened for your reference.

If you want to add some roughness and simplicity to the wall and make Zen more prominent, you can choose ecological straw paint. Straw paint is colorless, so as long as there is a color comparison card, you can call out your favorite color.

After choosing the color of the wall, how to match the color of furniture with the color of the wall? The above two works have great comparative significance. It is also a beige wall, and the ground is matched with linen carpets of the same color. Dark furniture, the space appears mature and heavy, light furniture, the space appears quiet and relaxed. Strong color contrast increases visual and emotional impact, which is easy to cause dramatic effect; Weak contrast makes the vision tend to be soft and relaxed, which is more suitable for bedrooms, tea rooms and other spaces.

ground

Nowadays, most people choose the material of home floor, and almost all of them divide the space into a grandiose mirror marble living room and a wooden bedroom. After the same high-grade furniture meets the mirror marble, the charm index drops by several percentage points (see the above picture).

△ French architect Joseph Durand is good at using marble in his works.

Speaking of this grandiose mirror marble floor tile, it is estimated that it is the patent of modern China people. In the west, only very luxurious churches and palaces use marble floor tiles. They prefer matte to high-gloss marble. The material also reflects the low-key of Europeans.

People in China are not always so pompous. Gray brick has a long history in China, which is similar to outdoor floor materials. Coupled with transparent doors and windows, indoor and outdoor spaces are integrated. It is also for this reason that gray bricks are not so skin-friendly and warm, but are more used in accented public spaces, such as hotels and brand clothing stores.

Visually, the gray brick is simple and generous, which is very suitable for Zen space. Gray bricks seem to be a perfect match with natural hemp mats and solid wood furniture. In addition, there are many ways to treat the surface of gray bricks, which are smooth or textured, thicker for public spaces such as living rooms and smoother for private spaces such as bedrooms.

In modern houses, the living room can use gray bricks instead of magnificent marble. In the bedroom, you can use a soft carpet to neutralize its cold visual sense.

Let's look at the color matching: the gray floor, the beige wall and the walnut furniture seem to be a very reasonable and comfortable match.

In addition to gray bricks, cement self-leveling or terrazzo bricks can also create a simple gray floor effect. If it is used in all indoor spaces, different spaces can be integrated, giving people a feeling that indoor spaces are psychologically larger.

Finally, in the yellow wall/gray space we created, the primitive furniture with dark or light color basically presents the modern and civilized urban pastoral dream.

△ Easy-to-carve solid wood furniture adopts computer numerical control technology to cut the surface and realize bolder design.

When it comes to dark furniture, domestic self-designed furniture brands prefer to use black walnut imported from North America, and in the eyes of consumers, black walnut is also in the limelight. Because it is not only warm in color and comfortable to the touch, but also has outstanding stability and is not easy to crack and deform. While ensuring the durability of black walnut products, it also allows designers to boldly adopt structures and shapes that other Woods dare not use to achieve better appearance.

Light-colored furniture materials are generally imported materials, such as white oak, red oak, Fraxinus mandshurica, beech, cherry and maple. Not as steady as black walnut, cherry wood, white oak, ash wood and red oak with slightly lighter colors are more economical than black walnut. Even so, they still have nearly perfect quality and are not as expensive as traditional hardwood furniture, so they are very suitable for the middle class in terms of design beauty, quality pursuit and price.

Dark furniture will give people a feeling of depression, and it will be lighter if it is matched with light furniture/accessories.

There is also the choice of wooden furniture. If it is matched with wooden floors, it can separate colors and highlight each other's existence. Even if the floor and furniture have the same tone, the materials can be distinguished to create some unified changes.

Yellow wall+gray floor+simple wooden furniture with lines or deep or shallow can be a collocation method. According to the existing conditions in the house, these colors can be adjusted differently, such as yellow walls+wooden floors and furniture+gray/neutral fabrics, and so on.

Finally, recalling the "low-key, humble but full of power" mentioned earlier, I think this not only refers to the "humble yellow" of the wall, but the whole interior design can exude a low-key and humble but full of power. The color matching discussed today belongs to this style. We build houses poetically, and houses also build us spiritually. Let's create a poetic dwelling belonging to the new generation in China, and make home a temple that nourishes the soul and spirituality. Looking forward to your customized photos!
