A taste of the Oriente...

Hi everybody. Have you all enjoyed your trip so far?..... Well its time once again to catch that plane and we will jet off to the far east, the land of the Dragon.......
CHINA

Chinese interior design is full of bold colours, mainly black and red. Red stands for good luck. The furniture is usually ornate with a high-gloss, lacquered surface. Porcelain jars, large decorated vases, pots with stylised fish and embroidered silks with flowers and birds fill Chinese rooms. There is a vast array of styles in Chinese interior design. The Chinese culture values peace, harmony and simplicity. If the design arrangement does not fulfil these ideals, then try a different arrangement until it feels right to you.

Another motif for Chinese interior design can be based on their blue and white porcelain jars. Tea sets, large decorated vases, ginger jars and large pots in blue and white can be added. Lay these decor items on bamboo trays. Plant large bamboo plants in the pots, and surround then with polished river stones. Keep things simple and grouped together.

Beautiful, ornate furniture can be a centrepiece in Chinese interior design. Pick a piece that is black or in a shade of red with gold or mother-of-pearl inlays. Place this piece in a corner of the room. Keep an eye out for a woven Chinese throw rug to put in front of the centrepiece. All other pieces of furniture need to be downplayed and simple. A  low  bed can be filled with embroidered silk throw pillows. The pillows can be covered with flowers and fish. Do not get carried away with placing knickknacks everywhere. The ceiling can be hung with paper Chinese lanterns in red, yellow and green.

Give yourself a piece of the far east and indulge in the land of peace and tranquillity.
