How to match the new Chinese decoration style suitable for small apartments?

The current new Chinese style is not only resolutely separated from the fake mahogany pseudo-Chinese style, but also traces back the Chinese elegance from the Song and Ming Dynasties. In addition to having a good-looking "appearance", it must also be penetrated with the thoughts of traditional culture.

If you like elegance and simplicity, or love traditional culture, the new Chinese style is a good choice. As long as you like it and master the following 5 rules, you can easily achieve the effect of a high-end hotel at home

Why Song Ming? Because the aesthetics of the Song and Ming dynasties was much "lighter" than that of the Qing dynasty. Many of the old furniture we can see today were handed down from the Qing Dynasty. They are large and heavy, with thick arms and legs, rich carvings, and extremely gorgeous. One word, trench.

The aesthetics of the Song and Ming dynasties were generally much more restrained and simple, closer to the core of traditional culture. Not to mention that the Song Dynasty also produced Song Huizong, who had extremely high aesthetic attainments, and the Ming Dynasty also had a carpenter emperor, Ming Xizong. He is definitely a fool when it comes to governing the country, but in terms of artistic accomplishment, he is definitely a few steps ahead of most people

An exhibition site, where furniture from the Song Dynasty was restored based on ancient paintings. In the eyes of some people, some new Chinese styles feel very much like Japanese style. Although Song and Ming style aesthetics are fundamentally different from Japanese style, the expressions are similar: elegance (in form), natural (in materials), restrained (in color)

Light color When talking about Chinese-style solid wood furniture, many people's first reaction is that it is full and dark. If a small apartment has poor lighting and is paired with a red oil floor, the thought of it will make you feel breathless. At this time, you can come to a full set of light-colored logs! Give you a breathable and bright new Chinese style!

I think there is a very classic word in Chinese aesthetics, called run. Chinese people’s aesthetic appreciation from ancient times to the present has always been jade. The only people in the world who regard the value of jade as extremely valuable are the Chinese.

Don’t use too much force in details. The most taboo thing about the new Chinese style is using too much force. When I think of having Chinese style at home, I want to hang bird cages on the screen, all cushions are embroidered, and even toilet paper must be placed in carved mahogany. In the bucket, there are also people making Buddha heads, incense burners, and sandalwood fans on the walls. It’s really unnecessary. You’re not Cixi!

On the one hand, the beauty of Chinese style is like a landscape painting. It needs to be left blank and there is space to see the charm. Don’t crowd it.

On the other hand, the so-called new Chinese style, to a certain extent, is new in that it has removed the complexity and complexity of traditional Chinese style. Spend too much thought

The soft curved corners are not only comfortable to use, but also prevent damage to the wood from bumping into the corners during use. There are no pure straight lines in nature, all straight lines are man-made. Traditional culture emphasizes that "Tao follows nature" and puts the laws of nature in the supreme position. Therefore, when we look at traditional buildings, gardens, and furniture, they are no exception. There must be curves to avoid too many artificial traces. This definitely transcends aesthetics and rises to a philosophical level.
