Oriental style such as the Chinese design is inseparably enriched with historical and cultural events that has been there for as long as the first signs of civilization.

The most typical features of this design include a sleek surface of furniture, allusions to nature and shimmering colors of Chinese lanterns, which all together help to produce an effect of Zen piece of mind.

here are few important tips you might want to consider while trying to redecorate your house with Chinese style:

Balance and backdrop:

Chinese designs and themes are mainly inspired by the colors of nature.

Hence, it is best to keep the backdrop as neutral as possible. You might think that white is your only option, but using gentle cream, understated light blues and even an elegant grey would reflect the same feeling to it. Remember that you are going for a soothing backdrop that offers a relaxed and laid-back ambiance.

Balance is often the key defining aspect of a Chinese theme. You need the right harmony of colors and different textures and elements that surround you. If your home is just one big block of concrete, think about adding glass partitions, natural stone decorations, wooden floors, bamboo blinds and a few organic textures in a poised fashion.

Colors:

Chinese interiors traditionally use a bold fusion of black, glossy lacquer accented with gold and/or ravishing red for spiritually contrastive impressions.

But again the lovely pinks of cherry blossoms, and luxurious purples are all an integral part of the Chinese style and helps fixating on the mysterious magical touch of the Orient.

 Water feature:

water is another wonderful way of ushering in Chinese style with ease and simplicity. The sound of flowing water is considered both harmonious and positive according to Feng Shui, and a small water feature in the entrance room, living area, or even in the backyard is a welcome addition. Reflecting pools make for amazing additions and have a calming influence that is undeniable.

For those looking to add a water feature that is lively and effervescent, a beautiful koi pond is the way to go. Water features not only bring an element of fluidity, they can also double as stunning sculptural installations that become the focal point of the room.

 Organic and Sustainable Design:

This is one aspect of Chinese design that is absolutely irresistible. Smooth polished wood-crafts, sustainable bamboo blinds that replace the traditional drapes, intricately woven tatami mats, and potted plants and shrubs that bring in nature’s goodness tend to come together to paint that picture-perfect look. It’s the little details that tend to make a big difference to the ambiance of the room. Make sure you keep the accessories and furnishings as sustainable and organic as possible to induce a truly Asian vibe alongside a piece of green plat to help the balance of energy flow.
