I probably started to like watching houses and watching home improvement programs on how other people’s homes were decorated since I was in junior high school.

On the weekends in those years, at 6:30 every Saturday night, I would definitely stay in front of the TV with my job in hand, just to watch a CCTV-2 program called "Exchange Space". The host was the beautiful Wang Xiaoqian.

This show has been off the air for more than a year now, but my understanding of houses and my enlightenment on home decoration can be said to have come from this variety show, which only lasts 50 minutes per episode.

Is that just decorating a house?

No, that is decorating our own expectations for a better life.

Every time I watch the show, I imagine that my home is being swapped, and I have imagined in my mind the many decoration styles I am looking forward to.

Yes, that’s what I thought when I was watching the show: “It would be great if I could be given a house like the one in “Swap Space” when I grow up!” At that time, in “Swap Space”

The house is the decoration of Baiyueguang in our hearts.

But if you ask me now, do you still want an apartment in the exchange space?

But don’t!

Because when I watched this show again, I discovered that many decoration styles that seemed foreign, fashionable, warm, and beautiful at first, now look like large-scale decoration overturns!

Today, let me take you to relive the classic childhood show (watching) pretending (playing) - "Swapping Space"!

I thought it was fashionable at the time, but I feel blind now.

Let’s start with the decoration style. In this show, I can think of more than a dozen types from memory: European style, American style, Chinese style, pastoral, rural, post-modern industrial, bohemian... But

Among all these styles, there is one style that can definitely take the C position, and that is: Mediterranean style.

People at the time didn't know why they particularly liked this style that emerged in Western Europe before the Renaissance and was characterized by freedom, bold colors, and bright colors.

Almost every two or three phases, a home is created in a Mediterranean style by a designer.

In the eyes of different designers, their understanding of Mediterranean style is the same. The Mediterranean is blue.

Generally speaking, it must have a residential seaside feel with a sea view, so there will be some beach elements, such as a small fence like this.

There should be a fish tank like this when you enter.

The home is made of original red bricks and earth.

Blue and white wallpapers and plush carpets are used to create a beach style, and even the escalators next to it are made to look like clouds.

We must not forget it. The blue sky and white clouds woven with gauze and lamp tubes can probably be called one of the most bizarre Mediterranean designs.

In addition to the Mediterranean, I have to talk about designers’ second favorite: rural pastoral style.

All rural pastoral style can be summarized in two words: broken flowers.

For pastoral style, floral wallpaper is a must. One type may not be enough. If you want a stronger style, you can directly choose ten different floral wallpapers.

For example, does this one smell like sunflower?

have!

The bottom of the entire room is green and decorated with bright yellow sunflowers. This is the colorful pastoral style in the designer's eyes.

Industrial style is similar to the design of rough houses, and it is also a very popular Syrian style.

In one phase, the owner wanted his home to be renovated in a post-modern industrial style, and the result was a red brick and cement wardrobe design.

Chinese style is the favorite of the older generation. What is Chinese style?

The elements that must be included are lotus tiles, plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, so that the flavor will be stronger.

The so-called European style means tassel chandeliers and silver curtains, which overall give people a Broadway feel.

Dreamy luxury is to put up wallpaper. Whenever you want to change your style, just change the wallpaper.

In this program, I got to know many wallpapers of various colors, styles, and designs.

As a result, when I was a child, I always felt that the decoration of a home without colorful wallpaper was incomplete.

The first is the New York Golden Years night view wallpaper: Wallpaper can make an ordinary home feel like a lake view room.

Wallpaper can also give the house a different ethnic style.

For example, this Guangxi Zhuang style is created with wallpaper like this. A bunch of stick figures in strange poses are painted on the wall. Even I, a Guangxi native, was impressed by this design!

The background wall is an important means to show the designer's decoration skills.
