The work aims to analyze the contemporary smart home design from the perspective of Chinese traditional creation aesthetics. Through the research on the products in the contemporary smart home market, the method of comparative study is used to compare and analyze the existing product function points, interaction points, and internal system logic. The interaction of contemporary smart home in the user’s life and the user’s participation in the whole using process of product is studied. Finally, the internal relationship of traditional creation ideas in contemporary smart design is demonstrated from the emotional design of products, level of user demand, aesthetic techniques, dynamic balance of aesthetic design, etc. to trace the contemporary smart products back to the traditional essence, and follow the design principle of “Tao follows nature”. The core idea of traditional creation design is humanized design, that is, no matter how to design any product, people’s use factors are taken into consideration. However, human beings are not superior to things, but both are harmonious in order to reach the design idea of “harmony”. At this time, people and things will also play the most effective role.
