Alas, if we talk about some things, that theyChinese production, then most often we mean their low quality. Meanwhile, cheap in every sense crafts and household items have nothing to do with the centuries-old culture of China. The fashion for interiors in the Chinese style periodically returns, acquiring more and more supporters and connoisseurs. It is worth only once to feel the amazing, incomparable energy of the Eastern soul, and you will no longer be able to reject it, refuse a design that combines exoticism and tradition, bold decisions and centuries-old values. This is not furniture and trinkets, this is philosophy, a special perception of the world, reality, yourself.
Interior with subtext
It seems that every thing, every motive holdssome kind of secret, a special meaning, where there are no universal solutions, identical impressions, inevitable habituation. The special color scheme of the Chinese style does not scream, but whispers, does not catch the eye, but caresses the gaze. This is its main difference from the traditional Central Asian luxury and brilliance, where gold prevails in everything, suppressing the sophistication of natural materials. That is why the Chinese style can be considered the golden mean when choosing decor and furnishings, which will become the concept of life of the owners of the house for many years.
Philosophy and character
It is impossible to create a Chinese interior withoutbeing a professional designer and not having experience of knowledge of culture, philosophy, traditions of this great country. Having imbued with the spirit of existence of the inhabitants of the Celestial Empire, you can become a little Chinese yourself, and then you will gain a sense of proportion and a feeling of appropriateness of every little thing that determines your truly Chinese style. Otherwise, you risk turning your house or apartment into a tastelessly furnished room, where things will be only soulless objects, and a thoughtlessly chosen color scheme will make the interior gaudy. The main features inherent in the Chinese style are softness, smoothness, lightness, airiness, elegance, plasticity. It seems that in the conditions of standard apartments it is impossible to observe these rules, but a successful solution can be found through design techniques, thoughtful arrangement of furniture, the use of decorative accessories, such as screens, partitions and shelves.
Lanterns
No matter how perfect it may seem to youthe resulting interior in Chinese style, without a very important element it will remain just a set of objects and furniture. This decisive element is lighting, to which the Chinese attach sacred significance. The energy of any room depends on how and where the lamps and lights are located, where their light is directed, whether it complements the sun's rays or successfully imitates them. The main rule is naturalness, and once again naturalness. Small tricks will help to achieve this goal: you can place one lamp behind a light, translucent screen, and even better, install several small lamps so that they pass the "baton of fire" to each other. At the same time, traditional Chinese lanterns will not only open up secluded corners of the rooms, but will also become an organic, logical addition to the interior.
Decor and accessories
Paper or woven wallpaper imitating silk,literally beg to be included in Chinese interiors. You are lucky if you know a calligrapher: the hieroglyphs or ornamental patterns made by him will further enhance the atmosphere of the East. When choosing furniture, give preference to items made of rattan, bamboo and soft wood. Small inlays of precious stones and marble inserts will add sophistication to the interior. Of course, bamboo vases, figurines, porcelain dishes, bronze lamps, silk paintings will be appropriate as an addition to the decor.
Color
Don't forget to carefully select colorscombinations. In Chinese culture, blue or light blue symbolize dignity and nobility, red attracts luck and brings the sun's warmth into the house, green gives peace. In any interior, in addition to the characteristic mandatory conditions, there is room for fantasy, non-standard solutions, bold experiments. Do not be afraid to invent: this is how centuries ago those styles were created that are now considered traditional and fundamental. Author's additions will decorate any classic, if your sense of proportion and taste does not fail you.
