每当看到卢浮宫或者埃尔米塔日博物馆令人叹为观止的室内空间时，我不禁要问自己：如果没有这些伟大的杰作和历史遗产，我们的生活会是怎样？每个细节、造型和曲线都让我们爱上这种美，这种美是人类才华的结晶。

现在我们有可能复制这些杰作吗？答案当然是肯定的。有了先进的现代科技，我们可以轻易复制出每个细节。我们想在自己家里欣赏这样的杰作吗？毫无疑问！因为“想要拥有最好”的欲望永远在我们的血液中流淌。我们是否已经准备好去实现这个梦想呢？这是现代新古典室内设计面临的主要问题。

现在我们拥有各式各样的技术和工具，可以在室内空间中营造出各种效果，不论是飞鸟翱翔、落叶沙沙、微风轻拂还是繁花盛放，等等。在从历史古迹的室内空间中汲取灵感之后，我们是创作属于自己的杰作，还是仅仅简单地复制过去然后将其粘贴到未来呢？这是现代室内设计界面临的一个很有意义的问题。

如果说现代室内空间是人们不想停留的地方（因为他们的生活节奏已经快得难以置信），那么，现代家居空间却是完全不同的—人们想在沙发上休息，想在餐室享受一顿美餐，想在家里体验轻松愉悦的氛围。当主人坐在家中沙发上的时候，他的周围应该满是精致的细节，让他忍不住去仔细观赏、品味。而且这些细节不应该预设了空间的氛围；在不同的照明效果烘托下，从不同的角度来欣赏，室内空间应该呈现出不同的面貌。

如今，古典的室内设计以现代的方式表现出来——全景的开窗、高高的天花、最新的技术、不同的舒适度以及流畅的空间体验。古典风格的室内空间是让人去慢慢观赏、享受的，主人在这个过程中会体验到舒适感和满足感。在古典风格的环境中你是不会感到厌倦的，因为每个细节都是有温度的，承载了设计者满腔的心血，这也正是古典主义至今仍是室内设计界最流行的趋势的原因。

特别是在古典风格的室内设计中，设计师可以有多样的选择，对细节和自由可以无限地追求，这让我们任何异想天开的大胆想法都有可能变成现实。

我们是否会止步于复制，而不敢去创造新的东西呢？我们会有自己的梦想吗？这是我经常问自己的问题。

本书汇集了来自不同设计师的最优秀的新古典室内设计作品。这些作品分布在世界各地，充分显示了我们拥有的无限的可能性。现代科技的运用让室内空间更加耀眼、更加独特、更加令人过目难忘。这本书在中国出版，这个国家改变了我们对科技发展速度的认识。看到这样一本书，我对答案更加确定。我相信，我们已经为未来做好准备，未来将无限美好！
