The term oriental decor refers to designs and schemes from the East (also know as ‘The Far East’). This refers to countries like China, Japan, Thailand, orea and Vietnam, as well as other countries in the east. The main countries
to provide the inspiration for oriental interior design schemes are China and Japan.

The Chinese look is a vibrant look – filled with color and pattern. It is a fantastic look for people who want to bring a little bit of the exotic into their lives. It is an unusual look, but relaxing, cosy, and easy to live with.

Walls and Color

•Typical Chinese interior design colors are red and black. The red is a bright, rich primary red.

•Also use other rich and bright colors, like blue, yellow or green.

•A little bit of gold decoration is a vital part of Chinese color and design.

Your walls can be plain (but richly colored), or patterned with wallpaper. Try to choose a wallpaper pattern with an oriental inspiration – such as oriental paintting and calligraphy, framed art and so on.

As an alternative, if you feel your home is too small or dark for such bright colors, or if you are not massively into colors, but still want to get the oriental feel in your room, try a very pale and neutral background – and get the oriental feel with the furniture and accessories (more on that later..!)

Furniture

Ornate furniture is a very important part of Chinese interior design.

Suitable furniture is typically Chinese – quality wood, with a very fine, glossy lacquer, in black, or varying shades of red.

The furniture will have decorative carving, ornate inlays or very detailed and beautiful paintings, and fancy handles.

These are very striking statement pieces – so you probably don’t want to dilute the effect, by filling your room with a jumble of different designs or colors.

Choose one (or even several) statement furniture pieces in this typical Chinese oriental style. The rest of your furniture should be pretty low-key – ideally in a plain black, or dark wood.

Accessories

Accessories are the best place to really get an authentic Chinese oriental interior design look.

Use Chinese paper lanterns for your lighting – these will give quite a soft, warming glow to your room – and a very relaxing atmosphere.

Look out for rich, opulent fabrics – such as richly embroidered silks, in Chinese designs.

Look for ornaments and fabrics with the following, typically Chinese motifs: animals and mystical beasts – monkeys, dragons and tigers, also beautiful flowers, birds and fish.

Try to include some beautiful Chinese ceramics and pottery in your oriental interior design scheme. Look for the above same designs and motifs on bowls, plates, pots, vases and ginger jars.

Blue and white pottery is a very typical Chinese design style – so try to include
some in your oriental design scheme.

It is worthwhile scouring flea markets, antique stalls and especially eBay, for unique Chinese treasures…

Take a look at this live feed from eBay. It is constantly updated. Just click on any product for further information, or to bid or buy.

Hope you get some great bargains

The Chinese oriental interior design style is a really beautiful and striking look for your home.

It is actually quite easy to achieve, as well – it only takes a splash of authentic color, and a few of the correct accessories to get the right look.

If you choose this look, you will get a very dramatic look – but one that you can relax in and be proud of…
