Nowadays, with the development of science and technology and social progress, people are constantly paying attention to the material life and spiritual life of society.

With the update of knowledge, there is a higher requirement for living environment, which also promotes the vigorous development of interior design industry. Both China and the West have formed their own unique styles in their respective development. From China's traditional style to modernist style, from ancient Roman style and Gothic style to international schools and German de stijl, China and the West have all completed the gorgeous turn of interior design style driven by their respective economies and cultures. Because I have always been interested in interior design, I have been paying attention to home improvement projects such as exchange space, so in this research topic, I focus on comparing Chinese and western interior design styles from traditional and modern aspects, aiming to let everyone know more clearly the similarities and differences between them and play a certain theoretical support role for the choice of design styles in the future.

[Keywords:] Comparison of traditional style and modern style of interior design I. Overview

According to the different building functions, investment and users, modern interior design has obviously shown multi-levels.

The development trend of sub-style and multi-style "Multi-level and multi-style" is mainly reflected in the application of interior design style. With the improvement of living standards, people have higher and higher requirements for indoor environment, and people are increasingly pursuing a warm and comfortable living environment.

From the development of interior style, it can be divided into traditional style and modern style. Of course, there are differences between China and the West. Traditional interior design absorbs the "shape" and "spirit" characteristics of traditional decoration in terms of indoor layout, line modeling, color tone and the modeling of furniture and furnishings. For example, China's traditional Ming and Qing furniture styles, or Roman styles in western traditional styles, all follow this feature. The modern style originated from the Bauhaus School established by 19 19. Under the historical background at that time, the school emphasized breaking through the old tradition, creating new buildings, attaching importance to function and spatial organization, giving full play to the formal beauty of structural composition, respecting the performance of materials, and developing non-traditional asymmetric composition techniques on the basis of functional layout.

Every interior design style has its own characteristics. Generally speaking, the interior design of residential buildings has been changing from ancient times to the present, from primitive simplicity to ancient complexity, to modern simplicity, and then to the present richness.

Second, the comparison of traditional styles.

-Chinese style.

China's traditional interior design has the dual qualities of solemnity and elegance. Today's Chinese style uses more post-modern methods, and the traditional structural form appears as another symbol with national characteristics through redesign and combination. For example, there is a set of Ming and Qing mahogany furniture in the hall, and a landscape painting of China hangs on the wall. Chinese living room has an inherent style. For comfort, sofas are often used in Chinese environment, but the color still reflects the simplicity and performance of Chinese style.

So that the whole space and tradition are permeated with modernity, and modernity is rubbed with classicism. In this way, the rhythm controlled by the oriental aesthetic concept of "leaving blank" shows everyone's demeanor. The number and content of calligraphy and painting on the wall are not much, but the artistic conception it creates.

The traditional styles of China are mostly represented by the architectural styles of Ming and Qing Dynasties. There are wooden columns in large buildings, and the space is divided into carved lattice fans, lacquer painting screen and floor coverings. And their doors and windows are fancy, which varies with the owner's status and wealth. The floor is paved with square bricks or wooden floors, and the ceiling and beams are decorated with colorful paintings. Indoor furnishings include calligraphy and painting, handicrafts and exquisite porcelain.

Classical European style

Classical European design style inherits the luxurious, dynamic and changeable visual effects of Baroque style, and at the same time absorbs the aesthetic feeling and rhythmic details of Rococo style, which is favored by the upper class of society. Especially in the classical style, the design concept of showing dignity in depth and luxury in elegance has also become a portrayal of these successful people enjoying a happy life. European style is represented by luxury style, elegant and heavy temperament, emphasizing fresh and natural, pure and beautiful living environment, and its styles include different styles such as Northern Europe, Western Europe and North America.

Gothic

Gothic style is a linear continuation of Roman style, and its basic style is the momentum of rapid rise in volume and sudden passage of space. Window decorations like to be inlaid with colored glass, and the colors are mainly blue, crimson and purple, which achieves the comprehensive application of 12 colors, gorgeous, exquisite and psychedelic. Gothic stained glass window decoration is very famous and can be used locally on the ceiling of home improvement, which has a fantastic decorative artistic conception.

Third, the comparison of modern styles.

-Chinese style.

Modern Chinese interior style introduces the creative ideas and achievements of modern abstract art into the modern style of interior decoration design, and strives to create a unique simple decoration that adapts to the spirit of the industrial age. The design is simple, popular and fresh, which is closer to people's lives. Its decoration includes

Curves and asymmetrical lines are reflected in decorative lines such as walls, railings, windows, furniture, etc. Some are soft, some are smart and full of rhythm. The formation of the whole three-dimensional form is also attributed to the extensive use of new technologies such as iron components and glass bricks, which has introduced new ideas for interior decoration art.

-Western style

The composition style with obvious subjective spirit is generally welcomed by the younger generation and caters to people's pursuit of strong personality in the E era. In color matching, they tend to be cautious, simple and bright, and pay attention to proportion and balance. Besides white, gray and black, yellow, dark blue and green are also used locally.

Four. abstract

Through the above comparison, we can find that both traditional and modern design styles are more diversified in the West than in China, while the decorative style in China is slightly conservative. However, the advantage of Chinese style over western style lies in the infiltration of its culture in design, which has profound connotation.

But the combination of different design styles has different effects. Only by mastering the application principle between them can the indoor space be more comfortable and full of beauty. Moreover, in the face of changes in people's needs in modern society, styles are constantly evolving.
