ABSTRACT
The “non-independence” of the Chinese modern culture and the lack of a traditional native culture in China are evident. Distinctive and strong regional culture features have disappeared in most Chinese cities, and Chinese elements filled with the spirit of traditional culture in Chinese art designs, especially in interior design, are inadequate [1]. The relationship of Chinese elements and modern art design has been substantially examined, but little has been reported on the innovation of Chinese elements in interior design similar to the current paper [2-4]. Heritage and innovation of Chinese elements in modern interior design, that is, the continuation and development of Chinese traditional culture, are discussed in the final analysis. As the influence of China in the world continually increases, a new design concept and style filled with Chinese elements has gained worldwide attention. Thus, we should not only add Chinese elements in interior design, but also innovate in the theories and methods of design on the basis of the traditional culture.
