ABSTRACT

The debut of 2022 CCTV drama "A Lifelong Journey", has won numerous viewers' praise and admiration, generating both the ratings and word-of-mouth. The extremely elaborate scenes have attracted the attention of the design, literary and academic circles, and the nostalgic-themed furniture and interior furnishings have become a new trend. This paper takes the scenes of the TV series "A Lifelong Journey" as the research object, explores the changes in the interior furnishings of China's northern houses in different periods, and delves into the development prospects of interior and furniture furnishings, in order to provide reference for practitioners to carry out relevant designs. Research has shown that: The layout of residential buildings in northern China has gone through the transformation in both plane and facade. Formerly, the master bedroom functioned as the core, showing a symmetrical layout on the whole, and the facade decoration was arranged in a scattered pattern. The simple indoor furniture is becoming more diverse in function, with highlighted function of indoor space. The facade decoration is more orderly, and the indoor furniture is characteristic of both being functional and artistic. Moreover, the future trend is that indoor furniture is greener in materials, more personalized in style, and smarter in function.
