2. American style
The United States is an immigrant country, descended from almost all the major nationalities in the world, bringing various architectural styles, especially influenced by the original traditional cultures of Britain, France, Germany, Spain and other parts of the United States. Mutual influence and mutual integration, with the further strengthening of economic strength, residential forms that adapt to various new functions emerge in an endless stream, and various colorful residential architectural styles have emerged. Therefore, American architectural style presents a diversified and colorful international trend. American architecture, especially residential architecture, combines the essence of residential architecture in the world today with some humanistic elements such as freedom, liveliness and innovation of Americans, making American residence the most advanced, humanized and creative residence in the world.
trait
American architectural style is mainly based on the architectural styles of four main periods: classical style, Renaissance classical style, medieval style or modern style. Classical style refers to ancient Roman or ancient Greek monuments, and the similar Renaissance classical style originated in Italy in the15th century, which revived classical architecture. These two classical styles have many similar architectural details. The third traditional style appeared in the Middle Ages, which connected the classical style and the Renaissance classical style in time. The architectural style of this period mainly refers to the church buildings with pure Gothic style and the residential buildings. The architecture of this period in Britain and France had the greatest influence on North American housing. The fourth traditional style is modernist style, which began in the late19th century and continues to this day. It doesn't have much decoration, the external effect is simple and honest, and the application of new structural technology makes its space have room for change. Other styles that affect housing in North America are Spanish styles, including simple buildings in Spanish colonies in North America and exquisite buildings in Spain. Oriental and Egyptian architecture has more or less become a reference for North American housing.
Therefore, the American architectural style is actually a mixed style, unlike the European architectural style, which evolved step by step. At the same time, it has accepted many mature architectural styles, which are mutually integrated and influenced. It has the characteristics of paying attention to architectural details, classical feelings, simple and generous appearance and integrating various customs. Compared with British villas, American villas are generally larger in building volume than British villas; American villas have multi-wood structures, while English villas take concrete blocks as the main structural walls. Due to the difference of climate, the sloping roofs of English villas are steep; English villa space is flexible and natural.
3. European style
European classical architecture has a long history. After the baptism of classical architecture in ancient Greece and Rome, the decorative style of stone architecture with columns, arches, mountain flowers, door damage and sculpture as the main components was formed. After the Renaissance, the artistic styles of Baroque and Rococo played a vital role in the evolution of European architectural interior decoration styles, forming two typical interior decoration schools: French and English.
Baroque style is vigorous and powerful, emphasizing the characteristics of linear flow change while using straight lines. This style has too many decorations and rich effects. Indoor, painting, sculpture and handicrafts embody the art of decoration and display. The wall decoration is mainly to display exquisite French tapestries, inlaid with large mirrors or marble, or decorated with heavy wooden wrapping boards with overlapping lines. The use of decorative techniques such as cat's feet furniture, the harmony between bright colors and gold, and the harmony between straight lines and curves, constitutes a solemn and luxurious atmosphere in the interior.
Rococo style developed in Europe after Baroque style. Rococo style is famous for its unbalanced light and slender curves, and the interior decoration imported from China and India has also influenced it. The word "Rococo" comes from the rockery "Locayou" made of shells and rocks in the French court garden. Italians mistakenly called it "Rococo" and spread it. Its characteristic is that the modeling and decoration are divided by the curve, wrinkle and bend of the shell, and the decoration is complicated, gorgeous and colorful. A large number of China grass patterns are used, which has a light, flowing and outward decorative effect.
The French style we are talking about now refers to the rococo style mainly formed in the period of Louis XV in France in the18th century. The large curved shape with flowing feeling, white wall panels and golden decorative lines, supplemented by light blue and rose red decorations, constitute a rich and luxurious indoor space effect. English style refers to the baroque style formed during Stuart's period in England in the17th century. Solemn and heavy linear change modeling, deep chestnut decorative wallboard, supplemented by Lan Qing and dark green fabric decoration, constitute a dignified and quaint indoor space effect.
As a product of the European Renaissance, the classical design style inherits the luxurious, dynamic and changeable visual effects of Baroque style, and also absorbs the aesthetic and rhythmic details of Rococo style, which is favored by the upper class of society. Especially in the classical style, the noble, elegant and luxurious design concept revealed in depth has also become a portrayal of these successful people enjoying a happy and conceptual life.
Classical style emphasizes the independence of space in design, and the choice of wiring is much more complicated than neoclassical style. The investment in material selection, construction and accessories is relatively high, which is many times that of other styles of the same grade, so the classical style is more suitable for larger villas and houses, not for smaller huxing.
Several obvious features of European style:
Door design, including room doors and various cupboard doors, should not only highlight the concave-convex feeling, but also have a beautiful arc. The two shapes match each other and have their own advantages.
The design of the column is also very particular, and it can be designed into a typical Roman column shape, which makes the whole space have a stronger western traditional aesthetic atmosphere.
Fireplace is a typical carrier of western culture. When choosing European-style home decoration, you can design a real fireplace or fireplace shape, supplemented by lighting, to create a western-style living atmosphere.
Lighting In European-style home space, lighting design should choose western-style shapes, such as wall lamps. In the overall bright, simple and simple housing space, the wall lamp that inherits the western cultural heritage quietly exudes a looming light, and a feeling of ambiguity and romance arises spontaneously. Rooms can be illuminated by reflective lighting or local lighting. Being in it, you will feel comfortable and warm, and let the heart trapped by the hubbub find a home.
Furniture European-style home should choose a furniture combination with a strong sense of modernity, which is characterized by simplicity, abstraction, liveliness and modernity. The color of combined furniture is white or popular, with appropriate lighting and modern electrical appliances, such as audio-visual equipment, as if weaving a lively and beautiful dream pastoral style for the host.
4. Modern minimalist style
Conciseness and practicality are the basic characteristics of modern minimalist style. Simple style has been popular for several years, and it still maintains a strong momentum. This is because people always want to reflect a certain cultural taste while decorating economically, practically and comfortably. Simple style not only pays attention to the practicality of the living room, but also embodies the exquisiteness and individuality of industrialized social life, which conforms to the taste of modern people's life.
Decorative elements: metal lampshade, glass lamp+high purity color+furniture with simple lines, soft decoration in place.
Metal is the product of industrialized society, and it is also the most powerful means to embody simple style. Metal lamps with different shapes are representative products of modern Jian Yuepai.
If the space is simple, the color will jump out. Apple green, deep blue, scarlet, pure yellow and other high-purity colors are widely used, bold and flexible, which not only follows the simple style, but also shows the personality.
Emphasis on functional design, simple and smooth lines and strong color contrast are the characteristics of modern style furniture. In addition, a large number of new materials such as tempered glass and stainless steel are used as auxiliary materials, which is also a common decorative technique of modern style furniture, which can bring people an avant-garde and unrestrained feeling. Modern style furniture needs perfect soft decoration to show its beauty because of its simple lines and few decorative elements. For example, the sofa needs cushions, the dining table needs tablecloths, and the bed needs curtains and sheets as foil. Soft decoration is the key to modern furniture decoration.
Modern style also has these four characteristics:
1. functionalism. Emphasize that function is the center and purpose of design, rather than taking form as the starting point of design, pay attention to the scientificity of design and the scientificity and convenience of design implementation.
2. Formally advocate simple geometric modeling without modification. Influenced by artistic cubism, he advocated six-sided architecture and curtain wall architecture, and advocated standardization principle, neutral color scheme and anti-decoration position.
3. Pay attention to the consideration of space in the specific design, especially emphasize the overall design, oppose the design on the drawing board and forecast diagram, and advocate the model-centered design planning.
4. Pay attention to the cost and expenditure of the design object, incorporate economic issues into the design, and consider planning as an important factor to achieve practical and economic purposes.
5. Thai or Southeast Asian?
Both the Mekong River in Duras's Lover and the mysterious Southeast Asian amorous feelings bearing the history of Angkor Wat have fascinated many people. Some fashionistas have painstakingly turned their bedrooms into typical Southeast Asian customs. Among them, the wall and floor of the living room can also cater to this mysterious Southeast Asian style and create a different exotic style in a small place.
Expression of aromatic color
In traditional homes in Southeast Asia, an eye-catching wall is the basic element, usually mustard yellow or orange. If this color matching is carried out in the living room, dining room or bedroom, there will be a strong tropical style. The expression of this color is usually realized by wallpaper. In this year's wallpaper market, there are many mysterious colors from Southeast Asia. People in tropical areas like bright colors, which can be seen from the clothes of Indian women and Vietnamese women. Strong orange, fragrant yellow, mysterious purple and bright green are the main colors reflecting the amorous feelings of Southeast Asia. These bright colors make this year's wallpaper more innovative. In the past, people rarely made the walls very "dazzling" colors. And if your home is located in tropical Southeast Asian style, then don't be stingy with the use of wall color. As long as they are properly matched with furniture, the colors of these wallpapers are very moving.
Large-scale flower pattern display
The floral pattern of wallpaper is often a magic weapon to conquer consumers, and its changeable graphics give consumers more choices. In this year's wallpaper market, large flower patterns make Southeast Asian style wallpaper more colorful.
It is very important that the pattern of wallpaper is in harmony with the overall style of the room. In a room full of tropical customs, the use of large flower wallpaper can make the room look compact and gorgeous. Its design inspiration often comes from the clothing design in Southeast Asia, such as gorgeous clothes or shoes, on the other hand, it comes from the reverie of tropical plants. This pattern is not large-scale, but regional, such as in the middle of the wall, or in the form of horizontal bars. At the same time, patterns and colors are very harmonious, and they are often patterns of the same color.
Southeast Asian style pattern design has its representative elements, so bright wallpaper must be matched with other decorations in the room, such as curtains, furniture and even bags, so as to create an elegant atmosphere.
6. Pastoral style
Pastoral houses often give people more sense of home, but they are more complicated than ordinary houses. The key is to find a company that really understands this style and a designer who can really talk to you and understand your intentions. Many designers may not have done this kind of work before, so ordinary companies are reluctant to take this kind of work, and only by reluctantly taking it and not making customization can they get completely satisfactory results. Be sure to be short! If you really can't find it, you have to rely on yourself. You are the guerrilla captain, and you are more demanding of your master. Many workers with great effect and small details will come to you at a loss and finally make up their minds. Read more books and do a good job of 10% preparation before starting work.
The appearance and interior decoration of modern urban buildings with reinforced concrete as the main support are getting farther and farther away from nature. The pressure of life and the competition for survival make everything concrete and practical. Modern people who are busy in the bustling city, returning to the natural fashion can undoubtedly help them reduce their pressure, relieve their body and mind, and cater to their needs of being close to themselves and pursuing a quiet pastoral life. Therefore, among the various schools of interior design today, the pastoral style of advocating nature and returning to nature has become an important trend of interior design for a long time.
return to nature
In recent years, with the acceleration of housing construction and the improvement of living conditions, people's requirements for living environment have gone beyond the level of basic living needs and began to pursue the style and personality of indoor environment. Under the general trend of advocating nature, returning to nature and creating pastoral interest have become the interests of a considerable number of urbanites. Pastoral style advocates "returning to nature" and aesthetic "natural beauty". It is believed that in today's high-tech and fast-paced social life, only by advocating and combining nature can we achieve a balance between physiology and psychology. Therefore, the pastoral style strives to show a leisurely, comfortable and natural pastoral life. Room decoration often uses natural materials such as wood, stone, rattan, bamboo and fabric, combined with indoor greening, to create a natural, simple and elegant atmosphere.
Material application
The artistic conception creation of pastoral style is a well-designed "seeking the heart" and a personalized design. Rooms, windows and floors are generally made of logs, which are mainly coated with clear oil, revealing the unique wooden structure and texture of logs. Some even decorate the ceiling and walls with logs, and some walls use logs with rough rubble or marble, so that the unique rough texture of stone breaks the slightly delicate and thin style of wood, which not only creates contrast, but also beautifies the room and makes the owner feel relaxed and happy in the room after a hard day's work. Fabric is indispensable for the decoration of idyllic rooms, and natural products such as cotton and hemp are often used in the choice of fabric texture. Ingenious owners sometimes hang a wool wall on the wall of their rooms, showing mostly rural scenery.
Recently, rattan and bamboo furniture began to be active in the furniture market, which undoubtedly injected new design elements into the pastoral style room decoration, and at the same time activated the designer's design concept, making the pastoral style home design more "idyllic". No matter work, study or rest, you can take your time and be carefree. However, in order to make rational use of these lifeless wood, stone, cloth and plants, and show their vitality, giving people a natural, simple and elegant feeling, the owner of the room is required to love life, love nature and yearn for the vitality of plants, and the designer is required to have the literacy and creativity of natural aesthetics.
Indoor greening
With the increasingly serious environmental pollution in contemporary cities, it is one of the most effective ways to improve the environment by turning the living, studying, working and resting space into "green space" through indoor greening. Su Dongpo once said: "Eating without meat is better than living without bamboo." Thus, green potted plants play an indispensable role.
Use green plants, pay attention to the placement method. There are many ways to place indoor plants, but there are mainly several: 1. Key decoration and corner decoration. The so-called key decoration is to put plants in conspicuous places, such as the TV cabinet in the front wall of the living room, while corner decoration is only placed in the corner, such as the corner of the sofa in the living room, the table near the corner or the lobby. 2. Combining furniture and furnishings, indoor greening can combine furniture, furnishings, lamps and other indoor objects, such as hanging orchids placed in the corner of cabinets and potted flowers placed on coffee tables. 3. Layout along the window. Arranging green plants by the window can make plants receive more sunlight and form indoor green landscape, which can be made into flower troughs or small potted plants on the windowsill. No matter which way is adopted, the design should be done according to the characteristics of the living room, so that plants can be integrated into the living room, complement each other and be unique.
7. Mediterranean style
Imagine Greece, where white beaches are connected with blue sea and blue sky, and white villages are shining with charming light in the sun. Natural and a little rough surface treatment, plus washed wood and coarse cloth furniture, give you a relaxed and comfortable seaside feeling. In it, you will feel the light dancing and flying by the sea, and the romantic feelings of the host will be fully displayed. Mediterranean style pays attention to expressing natural and simple atmosphere and romantic and elegant feelings.
Mediterranean style decoration is a typical representative of marine style decoration, which is named after its rich Mediterranean customs and regional characteristics.
Mediterranean-style decoration also expresses its romantic feelings through soft features such as color scheme based on ocean blue, clever use of natural light, streamlined and dreamy lines.
Mediterranean style decoration uses a large number of loose and comfortable furniture in furniture design, which reflects the leisure experience of Mediterranean style decoration. Therefore, "freedom, nature, romance and leisure" is the essence of Mediterranean style decoration.
Due to the fact that there are not many supporting manufacturers of Mediterranean style decoration, the production cost is relatively high, and the strict requirements of Mediterranean style decoration on the main body and cost of the building, the general Mediterranean style decoration is more used for indoor decoration design such as bathing, and less used for family decoration.
8. Personalized style
Style? Hehe, I like it. Who said that wooden floors can only be laid on the ground? I stick it on the wall, too, hehe. These old books are really hard to sell. I put them on the legs of the coffee table. Do you feel some cultural atmosphere?
What do you think of my bookshelf? Get some wood from the timber market, and that's it. Isn't it very distinctive? I really miss the hedge at home. I will definitely move them home when I have the chance.
What? A room can't have more than three colors? That's not true! I sprayed a rainbow wall in my bedroom, and all my friends envied me.
We have to sigh the richness of life and the endless creativity of human beings, and sometimes we can't help thinking, are we too concerned about other people's eyes?
