Not only that
Nowadays, people who like new Chinese style decoration
From those born in the 60s and 70s to
Young people born in the 80s and 90s
In addition to the broadening of young people’s aesthetic abilities in a diversified society
This further reflects the gradual improvement of our cultural confidence
Although many people have an impression of Chinese style as old-fashioned and ugly
But in fact, the beauty of Chinese style is really unique in the world
Even we like Nordic, Japanese, French...
They are all deeply influenced by Chinese elements

These elements are moving towardsWe show that Chinese aesthetics not only has a far-reaching influence, but it can also keep pace with the times and evolve into forms that are more in line with current needs. For example, New Chinese style is one of them.
So how should the new Chinese style be decorated to meet the aesthetics of young people pursuing individuality, while retaining the temperament of Chinese culture, making the home elegant but not kitsch? Today, Xiaoou will take stock of what elements a new Chinese-style home should have.
01
Perfect symmetry
Chinese people pay attention to the golden mean, that is, maintaining fairness and peace in dealing with others. Applying this principle to aesthetics is symmetry.

There is an old saying: "A beautiful person is harmless up and down, inside and outside, large and small, far and near, so it is called beautiful." Symmetrical things are balanced in all directions, giving people a sense of solidity.

The beauty of Chinese symmetry lies in its dignity, delicacy and elegance, and even more beauty lies in the spiritual heritage behind it.
02
Artistic blank space
The great sound is like a sound, but the elephant is invisible; black ink and white paper are just one stroke after another. This is the highest state of Chinese art - blank space.

The essence of the new Chinese style also lies in the blank space, simple design outline, plain background, a green plant...no burden, everything is just right.

Appropriate white space, neither full nor empty, the charm of which must be savored by the occupants.
03
With pigmented elegance
No showiness, no ostentation, no pretense, simple and elegant colors make the new Chinese style extremely beautiful.

Abandon complicated carvings and bright colors. Instead, use elegant colors and smooth shapes to weaken the "formal feeling" and embrace the "warmth feeling".
The combination of new Chinese style and black, white and gray, both in form and spirit, brings out the freehand style, allowing the entire space to exude a long-lasting and rich cultural charm in a poetic style.

Chinese pattern
Chinese patterns have been a source of beauty since ancient times. The imagination from the East is all condensed in the slender and tortuous lines. Those original sketches have both masterful styles and natural meanings, vigorous interpretations and simple narratives, all showing the most sincere Chinese sentiments.

Traditional Chinese style patterns are often based on specific auspicious patterns, while new Chinese style patterns are based on abstract landscapes and other themes.
