The history of Chinese bathroom cabinet style changes: American & New Chinese

From the supplement of the bathroom product system to the formation of the bathroom cabinet category, it has grown into one of the main players in the bathroom market that cannot be ignored today. In the past two decades, the bathroom cabinet market has been ups and downs, and many different styles and popular products have emerged. Some have become classics, some are still popular, and some are quietly emerging. Introducing the history and paying tribute to the industry, "The History of Chinese Bathroom Cabinet Style Changes" is written from this, and I hope the Fang family can advise on the improprieties.



Last time, I talked about singing all the way in European style bathroom cabinets, occupying the high-end bathroom cabinet market. Up to now, European style bathroom cabinets are still one of the most popular style products in high-end consumer markets such as villas and high-end apartments.




At the same time, under the influence of the new normal and new consumption, European-style bathroom cabinets are constantly making adjustments, adaptations and innovations. During this period, more diversified product styles emerged. Among them, American bathroom cabinets and new Chinese bathroom cabinets stand out first.


American style

American style has a long history, and the earliest source in China can be traced back to the 1990s. With the advent of the era of globalization, McLuhan's "global village" has been universally recognized. However, the development of information globalization is uneven across the world.

As a superpower at the time, the United States, which had advanced scientific and technological power and high-quality resources, strongly exported its own culture. With the help of film and television media, Internet communication, entertainment consumption and other means, "almost all countries are unilaterally exporting values ​​and lifestyles and exerting influence."




With China’s opening to the outside world, accession to the WTO, and the advent of the Internet age, cross-cultural exchanges have been further strengthened. American culture has gradually penetrated into people's daily lives. From Coca-Cola, fast food culture (KFC, McDonald's), pop music, trendy clothing, to Disney, American dramas, and Hollywood movies, the output of American culture is everywhere.

In 1992, the American drama "The Troubles of Growing Up", which showcased American family life, was first broadcast in China and was a huge success. And so far, "Friends" is a classic masterpiece in the hearts of American drama fans. Some families have also begun to refer to the decoration design imitating American families. "American style" has formed an invisible force and has become a symbol of trendy fashion and high-end taste.


Since the 1990s, American decoration style and American furniture have quietly started. At the beginning of the twentieth century, American bathroom cabinets appeared on the market. The early American style was mainly American classical (commonly known as "Big Beauty"). Compared with the simple and beautiful style that is popular now, it was thicker and more magnificent in form and content, but compared with the European style, it has been simplified.


On the one hand, the American classical style that inherits European culture combines the open and inclusive cultural characteristics of the American immigration country, and abandons the gorgeous and cumbersome Baroque and Rococo; on the other hand, after the baptism of the Arts and Crafts Movement and the Art Nouveau movement, American style emphasizes practicality and simplicity.



However, after the American style entered the country, it also experienced the collision and integration of Chinese and Western cultures. The American classical style that appeared in the early days did not become the mainstream style of the decoration industry at that time. American furniture was mainly exported, and American bathroom cabinets were rarely seen.


With the passage of time, American style has derived modern American style (including American country, American pastoral, American neo-classical and simple beauty, etc.) on the basis of American classic, and further simplified design, which is closer to the warmth and leisure of family life. At the same time absorb oriental design ideas and methods.



At the same time, with the continuous advancement of the domestic modernization process, the pace of life is getting faster and faster, "returning to the family" has become the theme, and people are eager to find the warmth of home. By 2010, modern American styles that are more in line with modern life and have the warm temperament of ordinary families have gradually become popular.


In 2014, the bathroom cabinet market blew American style. American bathroom cabinets began to appear on the market with a clear-cut and vigorous vigor. However, in the bathroom cabinet market, it is basically not subdivided into American country, American neoclassical, simple beauty (ie "small beauty") and other styles, but collectively referred to as "American bathroom cabinets" (or simply "American cabinets").



American bathroom cabinets advocate low-key luxury, emphasizing closeness to nature and life, with simple and elegant style. In order to show the American feelings, the craftsmanship pays great attention to the painting process to show the original texture of the wood. The American painting process is mostly adopted, and the main material is usually imported American birch.

American bathroom cabinets emphasize functionality, practicality and comfort on the basis of retaining the charm of American culture. In the design technique, the complicated design is simplified, and the complicated pattern is eliminated.


The appearance is not carved, emphasizing the beauty of lines. Create a heavy sense of history through "doing old". A warm and elegant effect is achieved by inking the cabinet feet, handles, corners and other subtle points.


From 2014 to 2015, American-style bathroom cabinets were all the rage, but they were all the same. However, under the trend of consumption upgrading, consumption characteristics are becoming more and more diversified, changing faster and faster, and other styles are becoming increasingly prominent.


new Chinese style


Appearance: 2015

Pinnacle: 2016?


Some people say that fashion is a circle, go around, and popular things will become popular again. Is it really? Not so. It will become popular again, it must be a classic, and it will be re-given to the meaning of the times. In the second year that American bathroom cabinets became popular, new Chinese bathroom cabinets made their debut after improving Chinese bathroom cabinets.



Chinese traditional culture attaches great importance to the "home" culture, emphasizing the warmth and harmony of the family, which is reflected in all aspects of Chinese home and family life. Chinese-style furniture has a long history. Chinese-style bathroom cabinets have appeared in the early bathroom cabinet industry, and they all have a strong traditional cultural atmosphere.


However, Chinese bathroom cabinets have been tepid. The rise of the new Chinese style, in a sense, is not only the revival of traditional Chinese culture, but also the birth of a call to the social vision of "returning to the family".


The new Chinese bathroom cabinet takes traditional Chinese classical culture as the background and contemporary international home design thinking and concepts as the design paradigm, organically combining modern vocabulary with traditional culture, making it have cultural and era significance, and more in line with modern aesthetics.

The design of the new Chinese bathroom cabinet is elegant and fashionable, simple and simple, with strong Chinese feelings. It retains the basic style of Chinese bathroom cabinets. It flexibly uses traditional cultural symbols such as partitions, moldings, flower windows, and auspicious patterns, and some metal elements are added for embellishment. Use more refreshing and bold modern lines, or graceful and smooth, or square and round.


As an emerging style, whether the peak moment of new Chinese bathroom cabinets has passed or appeared, it is still too early to draw conclusions. The new consumer era of personalized upgrades is an era of blooming flowers. It is difficult to stand out, or adapt to the market environment with only one style.
