Old Yellow Style Home Decoration: A Nostalgic Millennial Trend with Warm Yellow Tones, Wooden Furniture, and Retro Design for Relaxing Spaces

The “Old Yellow Style” home decoration is a nostalgic millennial trend characterized by uniform warm yellow tones, old wooden frames, and simple soft furnishings that evoke a strong retro vibe. This style, also known as “Millennial Style,” gained popularity in the 1990s through Hong Kong TV dramas and has recently resurfaced as a way for the 80s and 90s generation to create relaxing, stress-free living environments.

Why does this style look the same everywhere? Its origins lie in limited design choices and the influence of popular media, leading to widespread imitation. The revival reflects a shift in priorities among millennials, who value mental well-being and simplicity over flashy designs.

To update this style, reduce the dominance of yellow by repainting furniture or using stickers. Alternatively, transform it into mid-century modern,南洋复古风 (Nanyang retro), or natural wood styles by adjusting colors and materials.

For soft furnishings, choose durable materials like cotton, linen, or tweed that age well. Furniture should align with the new style—e.g., minimalist pieces for mid-century modern or dark woods and rattan for南洋复古风. Consider pet-friendly fabrics if needed, and replace old curtains with wooden blinds for a timeless look.

Minimalist Home Decor Ideas for Vanke Furnished Apartments – Simple Furniture Setup and Cozy Living Tips for Modern Residences

My home’s main theme is simplicity and doing as I please~

Since I bought a furnished apartment, it was already decorated, so I just needed to purchase some furniture and items to fill it in. Before choosing this Vanke apartment, I considered several options, and this one met my expectations well.

minimalist home image home interior image furniture setup image cozy room image home decor image minimalist design image room setup image home improvement image decorative items image

That’s basically it. There are three small rooms, two with beds added, and one left empty for now. I return every weekend, and it’s very cozy to nestle in my little house.

Currently, I’m not very satisfied with the dining table; I don’t know why I bought a round one—it takes up too much space. I plan to add more small items later, like a small wine cabinet for decoration, even though I don’t drink.

Ultimate Guide to Minimalist and Light Luxury Interior Design Styles for Large Homes Over 100 Square Meters

For large homes over 100 square meters, 50% of homeowners choose minimalist style, 30% prefer light luxury style, and the remaining 20% opt for simple European, European, or new Chinese styles. Minimalist style is often misunderstood as “cold” or “sterile,” but it actually includes warm and neutral color schemes. By incorporating warm-toned wood floors, furniture, and decorative elements, you can create a cozy,简约, and healing minimalist atmosphere that feels inviting.

Warm minimalist living room design

Achieving minimalist design requires attention to detail: 1. Unified color schemes with a main tone, typically using black, white, gray, or wood as the base. 2. Simplifying hard decorations by avoiding excessive elements and focusing on clean lines. 3. Emphasizing whole-house custom furniture, which enhances storage, adds层次感, and defines the aesthetic with sleek, floor-to-ceiling designs.

Custom minimalist cabinets and storage

Light luxury style builds on minimalism by incorporating premium materials like marble, metal, and high-quality finishes to create a sophisticated, high-end lifestyle. It focuses on subtle elegance rather than overt luxury, using clean lines and refined details to evoke a sense of quality and comfort.

Elegant light luxury interior with custom elements

This style can vary, including modern light luxury, French light luxury, and other interpretations, all requiring skilled design to balance simplicity with opulence. Custom furniture plays a crucial role here, using materials such as lacquered doors, stone countertops, and metallic accents to elevate the space.

Old Yellow Style Home Decor: A Nostalgic Millennial Trend with Origins in 90s Hong Kong Dramas and Practical Renovation Tips for Modern Living

The Old Yellow Style interior design features a uniform warm yellow色调, with vintage wooden frames paired with simple soft furnishings and layouts, exuding a strong retro vibe. This aesthetic from the last century has sparked a wave of nostalgia in the decorating world, resonating deeply with the 80s and 90s generation.

Often referred to as ‘Old Yellow Style’ or ‘Millennial Style’ decor, it is characterized by a dominant暖黄色调, complemented by wooden furniture and floors, and custom yellow wood cabinets. The entire space emits a sense of ‘digital patina,’ making it a unique and memorable trend.

Old Yellow Style Example

Why does the Old Yellow Style look the same everywhere? Its origins can be traced back to 1990s Hong Kong television dramas.

Hong Kong Drama Influence

At that time,装修 materials and style options were limited, and designs were relatively simple. As Hong Kong dramas gained popularity, their trendy and sophisticated interiors became widely imitated, leading to a uniform style through neighborly references.

The resurgence of Old Yellow Style reflects a shift in lifestyle and aesthetics among millennials (primarily those born in the 80s and 90s). This generation has experienced rapid development’s opportunities and pressures, resulting in material abundance but often spiritual emptiness.

Millennial Lifestyle Shift

Consequently, their priorities have evolved: while they may ‘lie flat’ in pursuit of career success, they increasingly seek physical health and mental fulfillment. In terms of living spaces, they value homes that offer relaxation and stress relief over mere design flair, aiming for zero mental pressure.

Relaxing Home Environment

The simple and practical design of Old Yellow Style, combined with its focus on整洁 and functionality, along with the warm yellow tones evoking childhood memories, helps slow down the pace of life, perfectly meeting these needs.

Although classic, Old Yellow Style no longer aligns with mainstream aesthetics. Many DIY enthusiasts are planning renovations, but success can lead to a charming American country style, while failure might result in a cheap rental look.

Renovation Challenges

The biggest issue with old-style decor is the excessive暖黄色调, which can cause visual fatigue. The first step in renovation is to reduce the proportion of暖黄色调 in the space. For example,年代感十足的 yellow wardrobes can be updated with stickers or paint for around two to three hundred dollars. If you’re not handy, it’s best to hire professionals for painting.

Wardrobe Makeover Wardroom Makeover Paint Transformation Style Alternatives

Beyond repainting, you can transform the space based on the original layout into similar styles like mid-century modern,南洋复古风, or natural wood style.

Mid-Century Modern Example

These styles share similarities with Old Yellow Style, such as abundant wooden furniture, making renovations relatively easy. They also age well, often gaining more character over time. For mid-century modern, pair with deep brown tones; for南洋风, use gray-green and black. Existing wood floors can be sanded and refinished if there are no issues like warping or leaks.

Floor Refinishing

In addition to hard renovations, soft furnishings are crucial. Start with materials—choose options that look good even when aged, ensuring durability and timelessness. For instance, fabrics like cotton, linen, and British tweed, with their coarse textures, tend to improve with wear.

Textile Choices

Select furniture and soft furnishings based on the renovation style. For mid-century modern, opt for简洁 designs in walnut tones. For南洋复古风, focus on black, dark brown, and green hues, using materials like wood and rattan. Both styles suit fabric or leather sofas—choose genuine leather for质感 or fabric for a cozy feel.

Sofa Options

If you have pets like cats or dogs, consider cat-proof fabric sofas. Another key element in old-style decor is vintage curtains.

Vintage Curtains

Without altering the room’s wooden structure, replace old curtains with wooden blinds to maintain the overall style while adding durability and appeal.

Xuan Yi Home Renovation: Transforming a 90sqm Old Apartment in Huangpu District into a Spacious and Timeless Living Space with Professional Interior Design

As a non-professional in home decoration, I believe that interior design isn’t just about following trends but creating a timeless space that withstands the test of time—I don’t want to grow tired of it after just a couple of years.

Six years ago, I purchased a 90-square-meter apartment in Huangpu District as a marital home. Over time, the decor felt outdated, so I decided to demolish and renovate it completely.

With no time to select materials or supervise construction, and fearing a DIY disaster, I opted to hire a renovation company to save hassle.

However, I was wary of unscrupulous firms. After researching 11 companies online and offline for over two months, I narrowed it down to four for in-person visits. Some were evasive about quotes and whether they had in-house workers, but Xuan Yi stood out by providing worker rosters, individual wage bills, and transparent contracts listing material brands, models, and prices. They also showcased past renovation cases, which felt reliable.

In the old living room, a partition cabinet made the space feel disjointed and blocked light from the balcony, creating a dim and oppressive atmosphere. Xuan Yi’s designers removed the cabinet and extended tile flooring to the balcony, allowing natural light to flood in, making the area appear brighter and more spacious. Accent lights added a cozy, hill-like ambiance to the walls.

A earth-toned sofa paired with a lounge chair lets me relax while enjoying the view and sunlight. To save space, the other side of the balcony features built-in custom cabinets for a washer-dryer set, flattening the surface and storing杂物.

The original kitchen was narrow and cramped, with poor ventilation causing smoke issues. By enclosing the balcony and merging it with the kitchen, the space expanded, making meal prep convenient for two people.

The refrigerator fits perfectly into a high cabinet, saving space, while top-mounted cabinets prevent dust buildup and reduce cleaning needs.

The small master bedroom lacked storage for clothes, so we compressed the master bathroom to create an L-shaped walk-in closet, keeping the bedroom tidy and the bathroom functional.

Despite the limited area, Xuan Yi’s design transformed the old, cramped space into a warm and expansive home, with every square meter utilized efficiently—the 90-square-meter apartment now feels like 120 square meters.

64sqm Minimalist Wood Home Design: Semi-Open Layout with Custom Wooden Furniture and Leather Sofa for a Modern Bachelor Pad

Floor Plan

A 64sqm small home, using semi-open and real wood minimalist design, makes this home designed by a straight man something women would want to live in.

GIF Cover

The owner is a single white-collar worker in a Japanese company, spending half the year traveling worldwide. Our first discussion about his future home ideas centered on “warm, rational, textured, restrained.” After initial communication, he trusted us to boldly create a personalized space for him.

The owner had strict material requirements: primarily real wood, leather sofa and chairs, along with a separate walk-in closet and a full-wall bookshelf study.

The design, material selection, and soft furnishing plans were adjusted multiple times during implementation. After five months of construction, the total budget for soft and hard furnishings was locked at 250,000 RMB.

Entrance screen wall. The artwork at the entrance was carefully chosen, and the owner was very satisfied with the selected wood collage painting, saying it conveys a sense of “harmony between heaven, earth, and people.”

Entrance cabinet, kitchen, and screen wall. This newly built wall effectively separates the kitchen and dining areas.

A single wall organizes the space with虚实 (virtual and real) and rational flow.

Entrance, kitchen, dining room, living room, walk-in closet. A complete living flow is visible.

Although the home is small, the owner pursues high quality of life and wanted to move in quickly after renovation. Thus, the walls were specially painted with Skshu Paint’s Yunhui series latex paint, which meets healthy water-based coating standards, is additive-free, and allows moving in just 8 hours after application. Its environmental and safety features impressed the owner. Additionally, considering Shanghai’s humid rainy season, the owner valued this series for its anti-mold and anti-bacterial properties, preventing mold growth due to dampness. It also contains bamboo charcoal factors to freshen indoor air. Skshu Paint is a leading domestic brand emphasizing eco-friendliness, with health standards surpassing international norms. It achieves zero additives in formulation and production, and after 8 hours of ventilation, odor levels meet GB 50325 indoor air quality standards, ensuring peace of mind. The paint film is durable and scrub-resistant, ideal for scenarios like children accidentally dirtying walls, making walls long-lasting and easy to clean.

1. The limited kitchen space is enhanced with glass doors for transparency.

2. Gray floor tiles paired with white wall tiles create a visual effect of expanding space.

Ultra-minimalist clear glass kitchen door maximizes transparency in the traditional enclosed linear kitchen.

Adequate lighting, uniform horizontal grain EGG board matte bread tiles, and light gray hexagonal tiles alleviate the闭塞 (claustrophobic) feel of the linear enclosed kitchen.

Mixing wood, leather, and metal elements instantly highlights the space’s texture.

Curved treatments create continuous space.

Entrance area, dining area, photo wall, and wash area.

The owner required high-capacity sideboard storage for wine, display, utensils, and party supplies.

The dining table was chosen with a masculine aesthetic—full black walnut wood—paired with chairs featuring hard lines and leather wrapping for comfort. Combined with rose gold linear pendant lights, the space exudes a strong sense of solidity, stability, and quality with comfortable and lively elements.

Sideboard details: Hermès gray marble edging and oak wood hot-pressed veneer panels.

Dining room, living room, and semi-open study.

1. The living room and study use a semi-open design to enhance spatial fluidity.

2. Curved treatments make transitions between spaces smoother.

3. The TV cabinet is designed to float, reducing cleaning死角 (dead corners).

Living room curved treatment forms a continuous space.

Attempted a formal “TV wall” design.

Black silk texture tiles and oak veneer panels are aligned with a 20mm wide U-shaped black brushed aluminum strip. Reserved for a 60-inch TV, the height was set based on the owner’s seated position on the sofa, ensuring the background wall and TV screen are flush. The lower TV cabinet remains floating for easy cleaning.

TV cabinet material joints and detailing.

Internal storage designed to owner’s requirements with three sliding doors for access control. The TV cabinet is 350mm thick, projecting 250mm from the background wall. With lighting, it forms a rigorous, modern style that the owner applauded for its masculine aesthetic.

Sofa background wall with curved corners, desk, and the owner’s requested full-wall real wood bookshelf.

Sofa background wall and semi-open study “lookout.” Due to budget constraints, an IKEA cost-effective genuine leather sofa was chosen. For practicality, lightness, and versatility without losing robustness, a walnut veneer and iron-edged “three-table” set was selected after extensive comparison.

Different heights, sizes, and mobility meet the owner’s needs for tea, gatherings, balcony relaxation, and study use. The image shows the largest and smallest combinations temporarily placed.

Added a photo wall to address the entrance directly facing the bedroom door, creating a fun hallway display space and an entrance screen wall behind.

One wall for collection display and visual separation, privacy and the home’s spiritual core; when the bedroom opens, it becomes visible.

Shelf display wall and three-separation bathroom.

During final soft furnishing, we heard the long-single owner found a partner. Wishing them well, we imagine future photos of their journeys here.

Three-separation bathroom wash area: white mirror cabinet, light gray terrazzo tiles, custom lit mirror echoing gray hexagonal floor tiles.

With clever lighting, it’s refreshing, robust, bright, and practical. The mirror reflects another route to the walk-in closet.

“Floating” glass “lake surface” and terrazzo “beach.” The scene reflects architectural职业病 (professional habit).

Three-separation toilet area. Terrazzo revival, calm, restrained, robust male aesthetic.

Three-separation shower area. Converted from a device balcony connected to the kitchen, turning wasted space into a bright, private shower.

Frosted glass provides separation without blocking light, with blinds adjusting light and privacy relative to the kitchen.

1. Half of the sofa background wall removed, retaining the shear wall for high transparency and privacy.

2. Utilize vertical space for a full-wall open bookshelf & display cabinet.

Public area and semi-open study relationship. For smooth flow and vision, curved corners connect the sideboard and luggage storage cabinet. Curved corners use manually applied oak veneer; cabinet panels are pre-calculated and hot-pressed with the same veneer for a continuous wood interface.

Half of the sofa background wall removed, retaining the shear wall. The removed area creates a “checkout counter” space. Open externally, closed internally, balancing transparency and a “boss seat.” These designs were most appreciated by the owner.

Bottom-floating, mortise and tenon oak finger-jointed full-wall bookshelf.

Enhances the cultural atmosphere and displays souvenirs from the owner’s travels, creating another personal spiritual space beyond the photo shelf wall.

Outside, a small flower shelf extension; inside, oak shelves fixed into the wall and an “Eames” reading corner for the owner.

The desk is a custom 30mm thick oak finger-jointed board, strong enough to cantilever from the wall, with large-radius curved edges matching the study-dining curve for a “double-curve” flowing space.
