Taking a certain period or style as an example, this paper analyzes the differences in furnishings design between Chinese and western rooms.

/kloc-in the 8th century, there were many similarities and differences between western rococo style and China style. ?

Western style?

Take Rococo, which originated in the late Louis XIV and was popular in Louis XV, as an example. Rococo art is an artistic style of France in the18th century. The characteristics of rococo decoration are: delicate and gentle, often using asymmetric techniques, like to use arcs and S-shaped lines, especially like to use shells, eddies and rocks as decorative themes, winding grass and flowers, lingering and winding into one. The ceiling and the wall are sometimes connected by curved surfaces, and murals are arranged at the corners. ?

China's decorative style occupies an important position in European rococo interior decoration art. The French draw inspiration from China's extremely soft curves, porcelain, tables, chairs and cabinets. The curve of the wall "also contains the life breath of oriental flowers and birds" Shells in nature are intertwined with the leaves of atriplex, forming a swirl pattern, full of flowers, flying lightly like running water, and the curved surfaces and curves are very delicate and beautiful. ?

In order to imitate the natural form, indoor buildings are often made into asymmetric shapes, which vary greatly, but sometimes they are artificial. Indoor wall painting, love to use bright light colors such as light green, pink, rose red and so on. And most of the feet are gold. Indoor dado boards are sometimes made of wooden boards and sometimes made into exquisite frames. There is a circle of lace around the frame, and the middle is often lined with light-colored oriental cotton. The panel is inlaid with gold-plated copper sheets and carvings made of fine wood of different colors such as maple, mahogany, ebony and rosewood. With the end of the Louis XV era, this most gorgeous and popular furniture style has come to an end.

Rococo-style interior decoration usually takes white as the background, and flowers, grass stems, palms, waves, foam or shells are used as decorative patterns, which brings extremely slim and lively interest, but it destroys the sense of balance, solemnity and stability of the building, especially the dazzling colors such as gold, white, light green and pink. This complicated and artificial style is the real decorative art.

Rococo furniture is famous for its gorgeous, light, exquisite and slender curves. Rococo furniture in European countries has its own characteristics: French rococo furniture is soft, British rococo furniture is light and elegant, Italian rococo furniture is exquisite and beautiful, German rococo furniture is exquisite and gorgeous, American rococo furniture is simple and simple, Dutch rococo furniture is rigorous and dignified, Russian rococo furniture is precise and bright, and Scandinavian furniture is elegant and beautiful.

Corresponding to interior decoration, it is suitable for wood carving surfaces and curves with light and flowing water on the wall. Candlesticks are flower-shaped, and each bend is extremely delicate and beautiful. The small table attached to the wall follows the complex rhythm of curved grass stalks and shells, forming a sculpture art. The height and decoration of sofas and chairs placed along the wall, as well as the panels on the wall, make the elastic curve of furniture very light and beautiful. Rococo art is characterized by gorgeous appearance, exquisite decoration, intentional asymmetry and complex curves. ?

Rococo was later replaced by neoclassicism. ?

Chinese style?

China features: 1. The decorative materials in China are mainly made of wood to show the maturity and steadiness of the owner. They pay attention to sculpture, painting and elegant modeling. 2.

From the end of 17 to the beginning of 18, a luxurious and noble decoration style appeared in both France and China. This is the design of French Rococo and Qing Dynasty. Both styles occupy an important position and have great influence in their respective national times. ?

In terms of structural modeling, the style of Qing Dynasty is solemn and heavy, and the style of the representative plush chairs in qing-style furniture is characterized by their wide posture, with the backrest and handrails connected together to form three, five or more fans. It is a symbol of power to highlight the noble status and social status of the master. Rococo furniture in this period is characterized by femininity and elegance, especially the design of details, which can reflect artistic taste and cultural connotation everywhere. Taking the chair legs as an example, the design is based on ballet, and the beautiful curves, exquisite carvings and gorgeous colors show its attractive charm. ?

In terms of material selection, precious hardwood with deep color, dense texture and fine texture was widely used in Qing dynasty palace furniture, among which rosewood was the first choice, because China thought rosewood was the most precious wood since ancient times, especially after careful carving, inlaid with treasures and decorated with gold, it just catered to the pursuit of luxury and splendor by the rich and powerful in Qing dynasty, forming a unique spiritual outlook in qing dynasty furniture. French classical furniture pays more attention to the natural beautiful curves and delicate original lines of wood itself. The material is basically cherry wood, because the grain of cherry wood is fine and uniform, the texture is smooth, the color of heartwood changes from bright red to brownish red, and the color becomes darker after sun exposure. On the contrary, its white wood is milky white. This is also the wood choice that France has been using to this day. ?

The decorative patterns in qing dynasty furniture are varied, rich and colorful. Using the original pattern and the dragon and phoenix theme pattern is a very successful innovative design. Auspicious patterns and floral themes are also commonly used decorative patterns. The decorative patterns of rococo furniture are mostly shells, rocks and flowers. ?

The main features of qing dynasty furniture are: ingenious design, gorgeous decoration, fine workmanship and various varieties. Especially the palace furniture in Qianlong period, with excellent materials and exquisite craftsmanship, has reached a state beyond measure. It was during this period that qing-style furniture's style was established. The characteristics of Rococo period: the furniture is exquisite and elegant, conforms to the human scale, pays attention to curves, especially the legs of the furniture, and there are no rungs. The furniture is light and soft, imitating the complex wave curve shape of natural plants, with exquisite carving, in order to pursue exquisiteness and splendor in sports and give people a smooth sense of movement.
