What are the styles and schools of soft design?

Nordic style refers to the artistic design styles of Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Iceland and other Nordic countries.

Everything is as dazzling as nature itself under the seemingly random collocation of Nordic style design. In any space, there is always a visual center, and the leader of this center is color. The reason why the color collocation of Nordic style is impressive is that it can always achieve a visual comfort effect-instead of solid color, it uses neutral color to make a soft transition, that is, black, white and gray are used to create a strong effect, and there are always elements that stabilize the space to break its visual expansion, such as plain furniture or neutral soft clothes to suppress it.

Wood is the soul of interior decoration. High-quality maple, oak, spruce, pine and birch are the main materials for making all kinds of furniture. Its own soft color, delicate texture and natural texture are naturally integrated into furniture design, presenting a simple, fresh and original aesthetic feeling, representing a unique Nordic style.

I want to create a Nordic space of my own, mainly in light colors: beige, white, light wood and so on. In terms of materials, natural elements are adopted, such as soft and simple yarn and linen products woven by rattan. The colors of the materials are compatible and the proportion is properly balanced. If you want to make some decorative changes, you should also grasp the key points, use the indispensable natural elements of Nordic style, add a little metal and other materials, and then consider whether the color matching is harmonious.

Log Nordic: the Soul of Interior Decoration

In order to facilitate indoor thermal insulation, Nordic people use a lot of wood with good thermal insulation performance in indoor decoration. Therefore, in the interior decoration style of northern Europe, wood occupies a very important position. The wood used in Nordic style rooms is basically unprocessed logs. This kind of wood retains the original color and texture of wood to the maximum extent, and has a unique decorative effect.

In addition to wood, stone, glass and wrought iron are commonly used in Nordic interior decoration styles, but without exception, the original texture of these materials is retained.

Color northern Europe: a symbol of nature's vitality

Northern Europe is located near the Arctic Circle, and the climate is very cold. In some places, there will be "extreme night" for half a year. In Nordic families, there is usually a fireplace in the living room. And sometimes there are bedrooms and the like. However, the fireplace is not the focus of vision (unlike Britain). They are usually located in inconspicuous corners of the room. Nordic countries, especially Swedes, are very advanced in environmental protection and attach great importance to the home environment. There are three layers of glass walls (windows), and the walls and roofs are properly insulated and ground source heat pumps.

American style

American style is a form of the development of American lifestyle to this day.

These elements of American home style just cater to the needs of the current cultural petty bourgeoisie for lifestyle, that is, they have a sense of culture and extravagance, but they cannot lack a sense of freedom and emotional appeal.

Country style has always played an important role in American furniture. Because of its simple, lively and practical shape, it has long been deeply loved by consumers all over the world. In the furniture exhibition of 1998, multifunctional design was added, and the appearance and materials remained natural and simple. Drawers with hidden design accommodate space, making them look more neat and beautiful. On the whole, American furniture conveys the design concept of simplicity, leisure, organization and multi-function, making the family a pure land to release pressure and liberate the soul. The most fascinating thing about American furniture lies in its exquisite and noble shape, lines, carvings and colors, and the intriguing places reveal ancient and lasting fragrance.

Generally speaking, American furniture must go through several stages to highlight American style. Rare textures of different kinds of wood and different parts, and even special textures produced by pathological changes during the growth of trees, are the favorite of American furniture. Secondly, the wood is dried naturally and in a drying oven, so as to remove the gaps between the wood and shrink the gaps between the lines appropriately to avoid warping and deformation. The third step is to select the material parts of wood. Most of the best wood comes from the wood core, near the lower part of the trunk, and the wood in the center is usually darker than the new wood or the wood on the outside. High-grade furniture often chooses wood with good parts to increase texture and value. Nostalgia, romance and respect for time are the best comments on American furniture.

Characteristics of rough atmosphere

American furniture is rougher in style than Italian and French furniture. Not only its material, but also its overall feeling. In some American classical style furniture, finishing treatment is often used, that is, after brushing several times, pits are formed on the surface of the furniture with sharp tools, and then finishing is carried out on it, up to 12 times.

Japanese minimalist style

In Japanese interior design, colors are mostly concentrated on the colors of natural materials such as logs, bamboo, rattan and hemp, forming a simple and natural style.

For example, the traditional Japanese carp flag, the Japanese Kingsguard, the Japanese lucky cat, and the Edo wind chime. They are all Japanese-style items.

Japanese design style is directly influenced by Japanese harmonious architecture, focusing on the flow and separation of space. Flow is a room divided into several functional spaces. Space can always make people calm down and think, with endless Zen.

Traditional Japanese-style homes use a lot of natural materials in the decoration of rooms, instead of advocating luxury and splendor, they take elegance, moderation and profound Zen as their realm.

Mr. Doudou, a Japanese-style home furnishing expert in Zhihu, suggested that attention should be paid to moistureproof: before laying the floor, keel should be laid on the ground to keep it at a certain distance from the ground. Traditional Japanese decoration is very different from European luxury and resplendence, but pays attention to a realm, pursues elegant moderation and profound Zen. Japanese-style decoration, like pastoral style, pays attention to the integration with nature, and the decoration building materials used are mostly natural raw materials.

Japanese style has its inherent beauty, adhering to the admiration of the original form in Japanese traditional aesthetics, showing the true colors of the raw materials, and showing the unique texture of the materials after precise polishing. This filtered space effect has a calm and smooth visual surface, but it affects people's feelings and compensates people's potential nostalgia, homesickness and return to nature.

Traditional Japanese style uses a lot of natural materials in decoration, does not advocate luxury and splendor, and takes elegance, moderation and deep Zen as the realm, and attaches importance to practical functions. Japanese style can be integrated with nature, borrowing external natural scenery, bringing infinite vitality to the interior, paying special attention to natural texture in material selection, communicating with nature cordially and enjoying it.
