What are some good-looking foreign decoration styles that are not suitable for China?
Nordic style is not a simple combination of black, white and gray as we ordinary people understand it. It is an attitude towards life in a specific region and among a specific group of people. So what is the Nordic attitude towards life?
The national competitiveness of Nordic countries is ranked among the best in the world. Northern Europe is a very wealthy place with the most knowledgeable people in the world. Because the harsh natural environment of Northern Europe has developed the Nordic people's frugal characteristics, they are no longer stuck in the realm of expressing luxury in design, but have begun to explore the relationship between man and nature.
Therefore, Nordic designs are mostly minimalist, but their minimalist style is not only the reflection of natural wood like Japanese design, but also incorporates various materials that can embody minimalism. The materials and colors are matched together, and even the original animal fur and heads are used as decoration, which has a unique charm. Looking back at domestic life, people mostly engage in various entertainment projects at night, and for Nordic people, night is a rare and precious family time. This is the main difference in design character between China and Northern Europe.
Now, let’s talk about why Nordic decoration design is rarely seen in real life from a practical interior perspective.
1. Storage perspective
From a storage perspective, in Nordic design, we can often see minimalist furniture, sofas, beds, and simple cabinets. Realistically speaking, how many clothes can we put in such a simple cabinet? However, in the lives of Nordic people, external items such as clothes, watches, and shoes are taken very lightly. A family's clothes and groceries can even be stored in a cabinet. This is why the Nordic minimalist style is rarely seen in domestic designs - because for China, although this style looks exquisite, But in particular, it is basically not applicable to daily life. If more so-called Nordic style cabinets are placed in a space for storage, then in the entire space, although the cabinet style is still Nordic, it has actually deviated from the minimalist charm of Nordic.
2. Decoration style
In the Nordic decoration style, there is no hard decoration and emphasis on soft decoration. That is to say, there is no material on the basic wall as we know it. Instead, uniqueness is reflected in the selection and placement of furniture. furniture style. Due to the high latitude of Northern Europe, the sunshine time is relatively short and the care is not sufficient. This is why we see many large floor-to-ceiling windows in the Nordic style. The walls are almost all white, and the ground is also shallow. Color, light-colored wooden floor, and light-colored cement floor. Regarding this point, many young people in China are also very inclined to this kind of hard decoration. However, most people think that this decoration style is cheap, difficult to take care of, and easy to get dirty. In fact, this is also very realistic. First of all, everyone should have a deep understanding of the air quality in China and the air quality in Northern Europe. So this is also something that is difficult to achieve in the country with the Nordic style.
3. Soft decoration and color
Nordic style is not black and white as we understand it. In fact, the main color in Northern Europe is gray. If there is enough light, you can use various high-grade grays. Pay attention to the interaction between them. However, most Nordic buildings actually do not have enough light, so in the basic Nordic style, one or two main color jumps will appear in the high-grade gray background to brighten the entire space.
In addition, Nordic style furniture cannot be imitated by some domestic furniture factories. First of all, the craftsmanship. Everyone knows that the price of foreign handicrafts is much higher than that of domestic ones. The reason is not because they are inefficient, but because they treat every piece of furniture or product as a work of art, which is particularly exquisite and delicate. Second, raw materials. A Nordic sofa, what we see in the picture is of high quality, but in fact the wooden raw materials are different, and the quality of the velvet on the sofa is also hugely different from that of domestic velvet, so simple imitation cannot replace the original. The original Nordic style is reflected.
