Oriental Motifs

Posted by

Oriental furniture brings a touch of history, craftsmanship, and elegance into the home. With motifs inspired by nature, mythology, and symbolism, these pieces instantly add character and charm to any space.

What to Look For:
Nature motifs – lotus flowers, cherry blossoms, bamboo.
Symbolism & creatures – dragons, cranes, and phoenixes for strength and luck.
Artistic details – lacquer finishes, mother-of-pearl inlay, carved latticework.
Rich colors – deep red, black, and gold balanced with softer neutrals.
Styling Your Living Room:
Choose a statement piece – a lacquered cabinet, painted screen, or carved coffee table can anchor the room.
Balance with modern – pair detailed furniture with a clean sofa or neutral walls for harmony.
Layer textures – add silk cushions, bamboo blinds, or woven rugs for warmth.
Add accents – porcelain vases, lantern-style lamps, or art to complete the look.
Design Tip:
Less is more—let one or two statement pieces shine while keeping the rest of the space calm and balanced.
