Bring nature into your home
In response to the epidemic, people in various countries have to stay at home to prevent the epidemic. A survey by the American Institute of Architects in 2021 showed that people’s demand for outdoor space increased from 61% in 2020 to 70%. When you want to add a touch of nature indoors, improve indoor air quality through rooftop gardens, terraces, etc., go the extra mile to renovate or design a natural-inspired exterior, bring the outdoors indoors, and thoughtfully decorate your home through balconies, terraces, and gardens. Design and decoration create a high-quality and warm life.
- Use earthy and natural neutral tones
- Rooftop transformed into garden to maximize rooftop space
- Create an outdoor “kitchen”
- The building uses large floor-to-ceiling windows to provide better indoor lighting and ventilation.
- Covering a large number of green plants from buildings to landscapes

Minimalism
Minimalism, with the aesthetics of subtraction, returns to the most basic architectural principles. In minimalist design, the use of color, texture or any other detail is simple and practical, highlighting the basic daily needs of the room, contrasting with the industrial design style, with sharp edges, clear lines, flat roofs and natural materials for the exterior. Match the wall decorations to create a new style.
