A guide to choosing your Bosheng style
Furniture style follows the style of the room around it. Below we compare the main styles so you can pick the one that fits your home.
1. Modern minimalist
Modern minimalist furniture is designed around function, with clean, flowing lines and strong color contrast. Living room sofa sets in this style tend to be very linear, which shows off the simplicity at its core.
2. Scandinavian
Scandinavian furniture puts practicality first and relies on simple lines to carry the texture. It has a strong postmodern character: smooth lines, no carving or ornament, and a taste for natural, raw wood. It reads as fashionable and grounded at the same time.
3. New Chinese style
New Chinese style takes traditional Chinese furniture, distills it and simplifies the shapes. The overall form is built on clean straight lines, so it feels modern while keeping a clear Chinese character.
4. European classical
European classical furniture draws on the traditions of Italy, France and Spain. It relies on fine hand-cut carving, with outlines and corners built from symmetrical, rhythmic curves, often finished with gilt brass ornament. The structure is simple, the lines flow, the colors are rich, and the effect is grand, elegant and formal.
5. Light luxury
Light luxury, also called neoclassical, is a pared-back version of European classical. It drops the busy textures and lines, which makes it a better fit for modern taste and modern living. White, coffee brown, yellow and black are the most common colors.
6. Modern minimalism
Minimalism grew out of the Minimal Art movement of the 1960s, which pushed back against abstract expressionism by presenting objects in their most basic form and leaving room for the viewer to complete the picture.
In furniture, that means living and furnishing are treated as one. A dark or brown sofa echoes the colors of the room, materials keep their natural color, and the palette leans to deep browns and earth tones, which gives the space an earthy, unpretentious feel.
Those are the main furniture styles. Choose carefully, and do not stop at style: quality and other details matter just as much. Come see the pieces at Bosheng and you will find good furniture at fair prices.
