Chinese food and Chinese medicine are known to the whole world. What about interiors? We will open the screen and see how apartments on the other end of the world.
At first glance it seems that from the traditional Chinese style in modern interiors of Beijing and Guangzhou there was nothing left. But then we see a screen and a famous low bed without a headboard, and it becomes clear - traditions remain in their places.
1 door coupe or no door leaf
Legends go to Beijing apartments: they say that the average housing area there is 9 squares. Naturally, on this occasion it is impossible to put classic swing doors, because there is no place even for a full bed. The Chinese came up with a way out - they simply do not hang the door leaf, leaving only open opening. Sometimes you can meet the coupe or harmonica. Even if the Method allows you to put a swing model, still the choice is made in favor of a conventional frame.
2 beds without headboard
Traditional Chinese style is such beds and provides. In fact, it is just a mattress that is put on the floor. Not about any headboard or legs is not talking - in the morning this mattress is cleaned into the closet, freeing the place for life. Modern interiors, of course, adapt to European realities, despite the chinese culture isolation. That is why there appeared a model - a mix of European and Chinese bed - which does not have a headboard and a high base.
3 Small refrigerators
That's what the Chinese, judging by their interiors, do not like to be like, so it is a trapes at home. As a rule, there are very compact kitchen in the apartments, a often equipped with a stove with two horses and a small refrigerator. At best, this is a low two-chamber model, and at worst - baby like a minibar. This technique seriously helps in the absence of place in the house and the need to maintain the functionality of the kitchen. In the end, on such a refrigerator, you can put a box for storing accessories for cooking or even equip a full-fledged roomy cabinet from above. Sometimes such models look more logical than the semi-empty two-chamber giants under the ceiling.
4 lack of or minimum wall decor
If you look at the decoration in Chinese apartments, we will see the walls painted in one color. Wallpapers are practically not used, like wall panels and any experiments with flowers. It is logical that it does not have to talk about the wall decor, empty walls. Jewelery is not at all no - there are plants in pots and other accessories, but it is precisely the Chinese indifferent to the paintings and posters. Occasionally on a clean white wall hang lonely hours or a small picture. At the same time, the area of the apartment can be impressive or very small - the attitude to decoration and wall decorations does not change.
5 Zoning Shirmami
Shirma is also a traditional Chinese interior element. Previously, they were decorated with painting and embroidery, made silk and ivory. Today it is more minimalist models devoid of national flavor. They are used mainly to separate zones. So allocate, for example, a bedroom or a living room in case it is connected to the kitchen.
