Stylish interiors this year are embracing the Oriental trend in new and modern ways. This is not the gaudy combination of red and gold that you may find in a local Chinese restaurant, but rather the décor trend is drawing on a range of sources from Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese and Korean traditions among others.
Asian style has had an influence on Western décor for centuries, with the ball and claw foot being inspired by a classic Chinese motif. Small touches like this are perfect for adding a subtle Oriental theme into your home décor. Classical Asian design puts a heavy focus on texture that is usually either smooth and shiny like lacquered wood or rough and tactile like bamboo, raw silk and jute. A striking set of Rectangular Lacquer Boxes from OKA is a perfect example of an modern Oriental-inspired storage solution. These contrast well with rougher textures and muted colors in a room.
