What Is Decoration?
Decoration is an item or behavior that can beautify and beautify.
In other words, decoration is a spiritual production activity that humans engage by the “laws of beauty”. It is a product of ideology. It emphasizes formal beauty and can express human aesthetic feelings and tastes.
What Is Decorative Art?
With the development of decoration, it has become an art category and an art style of plastic art.
The development of decorative art is like an endless river and an interlocking chain. The decorative characteristics of each period are the epitome of politics, economy, and social culture, which together form a complete “aesthetic field” of the era.
We can see that the phenomenon of decoration reveals the essence of culture everywhere, so in a sense, a complete history of decoration is a history of cultural development.
The study of decorative arts in Europe began with the “The Arts & Crafts Movement” in the late 19th century.
Facing the overwhelming wave of industrialization, people began to re-examine the spiritual value of traditional decoration and handicrafts.
Around 1890, Riegl published the famous “Problems of Style. Foundations for a History of Ornament“. This work became one of the representative works of the Vienna School, and also officially opened the prelude to the systematic study of the history of decorative arts in Europe.
What Is A Fireplace?
The earliest fireplace was a heating device that was set up against a wall indoors. It was a heating device built on the wall. It had a chimney leading to the outdoors. It was a building component that was both decorative and usable.
The Role Of Fireplace In Interior Decoration
Compared with other interior decoration components, the fireplace is a “living” interior decoration element.
Because other decorations are static and motionless, only the fireplace has beating flames and flickering firelight, showing its “life” charm.
In the famous fireside chats of the early American presidents, President Roosevelt accepted a radio interview by the fireplace, thus narrowing the distance between the president and the people. Since then, successive presidents of the United States have formed the tradition of “fireside chats”. The fireplace became a symbol of solemnity and seriousness.
In addition to official places, in daily life, fireplaces are also the most common household items in every household. Whether in terms of decorative effect or usability, it is the center of family life.
Sitting around the fireplace to receive guests, keep warm, and chat has become an important part of family life, so the fireplace has become a symbol of intimacy, warmth, and friendliness.
On the other hand, the fireplace has always been regarded as a decorative symbol, and it also represents a decorative culture.
In the eyes of many designers, it can be integrated with the design style and is an important element for the designer to complete his personal works.
With the rapid development of the decoration industry over the past few decades, people’s lives have also shown a diversified trend. The advancement and maturity of technology have enabled various burning methods to adapt to various styles of decoration.
Therefore, roaring fireplaces naturally play an increasing role in decoration.
