★ Question: What is the new Chinese style?

As we all know, there are many decoration styles nowadays, among which European style, American style, modern minimalist style and post-modern style are the most popular, and another is the new Chinese style in recent years. "Just like the international' Chinese style', our Chinese people also like the' Chinese style' very much." Li Pengfei, a designer of Guangxi Shichuang Decoration Engineering Co., Ltd. said.

However, the traditional Chinese style is very particular and rigorous, just like the word "tradition" literally. The traditional Chinese style fully embodies the essence of Chinese culture, such as the interior layout, overall line shape, overall tone and the modeling of furniture and furnishings. Most of them should use solid wood furniture of Ming and Qing dynasties and plaid sculptures, and then they should be matched with dark coarse cloth. Only the construction technology of some furnishings needs to refer to traditional handwork. "Extremely pay attention to the law of symmetry." Li Pengfei believes.

obviously, this style has been difficult to meet the needs of ordinary people in today's era, especially it is unrealistic to create furniture with complex

shapes. To this end, this "new Chinese style" came into being-as the name implies, the new Chinese style is to remove some old elements from the traditional Chinese style, combine modern elements with traditional elements through the understanding of traditional culture, and create a decoration style with traditional charm with the aesthetic needs of contemporary people.

★ Difference: the layout, lines and materials are all different

Many people think of Chinese style when they see some specific elements. However, there is a great difference between traditional Chinese style and new Chinese style under careful taste. Generally speaking, there are great differences between the two in the overall layout, furniture lines, decorative materials and so on-

Different layouts

Because the traditional Chinese style is represented by China classical buildings such as palace buildings, the traditional Chinese style pays special attention to symmetry, and most of the rooms adopt symmetrical layout, which is correct, steady and magnificent. Here, Li Pengfei, the designer of Guangxi Shichuang Decoration Engineering Co., Ltd., gives a case. It can be seen from the picture that this traditional Chinese decoration uses expensive and hard furniture such as Ming and Qing rosewood, and the wood has hand-made expressions of carving dragons and painting phoenixes; The interior space pays attention to hierarchy, using partition windows and screens to divide it, and even the ceiling uses the symbol of "Hui" with national characteristics, which shows that it pays special attention to symmetry.

The new Chinese style, on the other hand, does not rigidly adhere to the principle of symmetry, which breaks this convention in layout. The furniture and furnishings can be strewn at random, which can change the dullness of too many traditional elements.

Different lines

As we all know, all kinds of complicated and exquisite patterns are usually carved on traditional furniture and traditional buildings in China, and this technique is also common in traditional Chinese decoration. Therefore, in the traditional Chinese decoration, most of the furniture we see has twists and turns, fine patterns and exquisite.

However, due to the limitations of traditional Chinese furniture in terms of material selection, design and manufacturing technology, traditional Chinese furniture is rarely used in the home decoration of ordinary residents. Generally speaking, new Chinese-style furniture adopts simple straight lines, which reflects the feeling of simplicity and generosity. On the other hand, the color is soft and neutral, giving people a warm and elegant feeling of returning to nature. The overall lines in the room look smooth,

fresh and natural.

Different materials

Designer Li Pengfei mentioned that today's new Chinese style mainly starts with materials and soft clothes, so don't use too much traditional Chinese

solid wood. In fact, it is very cumbersome for ordinary families to pile up elements of carving dragons and painting phoenixes with similar complex shapes. Therefore, designers will divide some positions that can be made of modern materials such as glass and metal

by using symmetry method to distinguish them; Most of the colors are neutral and soft, and modern sofas with wood and cloth are used to embody China elements, and curtains and corresponding decorative paintings are used to blend traditional charm with modern comfort.

A few simple tricks

You can create your own "new Chinese style"

The first trick: the lines of furniture should be concise

The new Chinese style furniture can be matched with classical furniture or modern furniture, but it must be noted that the lines should be concise. Modern people pursue simple and peaceful living requirements. Therefore, furniture should be as simple as possible, which will make the "New China < P > Style" more practical and modern. From a case provided by Li Pengfei, a designer of Guangxi Shichuang Decoration Engineering Co., Ltd., we can see that in this new Chinese style design, the TV background wall is neutral and light yellow, and it is decorated with lotus paintings and bamboo drawings. At the same time, the TV background wall, gypsum board and ceiling are decorated with simple and tough straight lines, while the sofa is made of modern fabric, which looks both traditional and modern.

the second measure: the overall color should be unified

the color of the new Chinese style should reflect a simple, natural and peaceful tone, so the furniture generally adopts dark brown, dark brown and other dark colors. However, if the whole tone is dark, it will produce a feeling of depression, so you can skillfully adjust the color with the help of lighting. For example, with the light colors of orange and orange, the dull tone of the whole space becomes fresh and elegant. At the same time, the matching space primary colors should be as elegant as possible, so as to alleviate the visual dullness.

the third trick: cleverly decorate with small objects

sometimes you will feel that the furniture layout is already very simple, but it always lacks that smell. In fact, we can decorate it with some small objects. For example, carved decorations, tea sets, paintings and calligraphy works with Chinese charm, or bamboo screens with copper handles and bamboo strips woven and fabrics with strong local flavor, etc., can all play the role of "finishing touch".

the fourth trick: be good at creating a sense of hierarchy

The new Chinese style pays great attention to the sense of hierarchy in space, so we can use some furnishings with Chinese elements. For example, screens, Chinese-style wooden doors, or some simplified Chinese-style "antique shelves" are placed in some areas of the home where privacy is more important and it is necessary to cut off the line of sight, so as to carry out reasonable separation. Through this way of separation, we can show the layering and transparency of Chinese style.
