What's missing from your home's new Chinese style "Five Elements"?

It feels like half the year has already passed, and just as suddenly, midsummer has passed and we've reached the end of summer. Time flies, so it's time to slow down and savor the beauty of a slower pace. Today, we'll look at a modern Chinese-style interior design example that combines quality and elegance, poetry and beauty.

The new Chinese style usually uses natural decorative materials and applies the combination rules of the five elements of "gold, wood, water, fire, and earth" to create a Zen-like rational and tranquil environment.

The element of gold is used in copper door handles or metal ornaments. The colors are pure white and the original color of the metal, and the shapes are mostly round.

Wood is the most common element in the New Chinese style, often used in the form of round chairs and tables. Wood is soft, approachable, and warm. Adding some greenery to the wood creates a unique and artistic conception.

The water element is represented by blue, black and grey in colour, and falling and flowing in form. This element is most commonly used in fabrics, such as curtains, pillows and bedding.

The fire element mainly exists in the form of lamps, which are warm orange-yellow in color and have an upward momentum in form, symbolizing warmth and light.

Earth is a fundamental material, yet it can also create a sophisticated aesthetic. Most New Chinese-style houses feature Chinese-style courtyards, where diversely shaped plants and other elements embody a natural, freehand aesthetic. Every blade of grass and tree is a scene, and every flower and stone is a testament to its tranquility.

Gold, wood, water, fire and earth are intrinsically linked to the five petals of plum blossoms. The "plum blossom seal script" created by the ancients represents "happiness, joy, health, peace and longevity" and it emphasizes the concept of overallness.

New Chinese design emphasizes a natural flow, highlighting the peaceful and carefree spirit nurtured by traditional literature. While overemphasizing rigid specifications, it allows designers a degree of freedom. However, New Chinese style also emphasizes balance, adhering to principles and symmetry, and harmonizing the interior with the concept of yin and yang. Building on this foundation, New Chinese style incorporates a simple and unpretentious aesthetic.
