Features: Before the new century arrived, Chinese home art had already blossomed in a myriad of styles. Some drew inspiration from the West, while others admired the European continent, or called for a return to primal simplicity, or blended Eastern and Western influences, or combined ancient and modern elements to create a series of home styles centered around themes like simplicity, elegance, ruggedness, luxury, or rustic charm. Classical home styles, whether with a primal flavor, a wild retro vibe, or a collection of artistic essence, all convey an undeniable theme—romantic sentiment! Winston Churchill said it perfectly: "We shape our buildings, and thereafter our buildings shape us."
