Colours for an oriental style home
Be thoughtful when you consider your colour scheme. Your chosen colours can create a luxurious feeling especially if you work with a tone-on tone palette. Neutrals are always warm and sophisticated and create a calm and soothing interior. The result will be a rich, cosy and intimate space where you and your loved ones can relax.
Lighting
Be on the lookout for beautiful mood lighting. Candles, floor lamps and table lights radiate a warmer tone than harsh overhead lighting. Build up a wonderful sparkle by purchasing a mirror that will catch and reflect the light. The Kyoto Floor Lamp will create a stunning focal point in your room and the paper lanterns diffuse the light to introduce a warm soft glow.
Flooring
Consider hard wood flooring in a natural finish to contrast with your furniture. If you prefer the comfort of carpet, grey is a practical alternative to a light natural shade. You can then define your seating area with a rug.
Accessories
Bring your scheme together through the use of accessories, screens and mirrors. For the look of the Orient, you want to use exotic and colorful accessories with natural-influenced charm.
Mirrors will really open your space and can be a wonderful way of introducing texture to your room. Consider a bamboo circular mirror, which is made from real strips of bamboo, laid within a resin frame. This luxurious mirror will provide more than just a reflective surface and will become a focal point of any room. For those who prefer mother of pearl, the lush mirror range will also work beautifully when set within an oriental interior.
Screens can be an elegant way of defining your space and creating cosy, intimate areas. They are also a great way of hiding any unsightly areas or clutter. The coco stick screen will introduce warm natural shade and the texture in this screen is particularly fascinating. This piece will definitely add to the luxuriousness of your room and if you want to complement this piece, choose the matching mirror to complete the look.
Add a variety of rich textures through decorative pillows and cushions. If you have space, a window seat like the Jaya bench will not only provide additional seating but will create another stunning focal point and can be accessorised with bright soft furnishings.
Introduce Oriental art to add the finishing touches to your theme. Original Indonesian wall art will create a striking look.
Try to mix and match old with new when choosing your accessories and remember that two of the same item will have much more impact and help you achieve your desired look.
