Thousands of miles away, but at the same time closer than you can imagine,Asian culture fascinates just by knowing it. If you like oriental furniture, you can have a little piece of the Asian continent in your home without having to leave home. We give you some keys to achieve a perfect oriental decoration in your home.
Furniture with influences from China, Indonesia or Japan is gaining popularity year after year. With the right furniture, it is very easy to give your home an oriental touch. The first thing you should keep in mind is that this decorative style opts for sober and uncluttered environments, but with very powerful materials and colors.
When it comes to introducing pieces of Asian origin in the decoration of your home, you can also opt for sculptures, unique antique pieces that you can find in ABATON.
Most of the furniture of oriental decoration is made of wood, such as this side table of Chinese stripped elm that you can use in different rooms of your home, or this coffee table with three Indonesian teak boards, perfect for a living room.
But it is not only the material of the furniture that stands out in Asian decoration, color is another of its most characteristic signs. Reddish, orange, black or blue tones are predominant in this decorative style.
A good tip is to choose wooden furniture that can be mainly elm, teak or tamarind and combine them with decorative elements such as vases, or pictures in which a color palette according to your furniture predominates; it will give more personality to any room.
Keep in mind that oriental pieces already add color to the room, so we recommend that the rest of the decoration be in neutral colors such as grays or earth tones.
Nor should we forget that in oriental culture almost all daily life takes place at ground level. Hence the tables of this aesthetic are low as the following; tamarind coffee table from Indonesia, or this antique pickled coffee table from China.
Decorating the home with oriental style is not about faithfully reproducing how they live in Asia, but to take into account how the environments of that area are and incorporate original furniture such as those you can find in ABATON.
