GLOBAL STYLE: ASIAN
PLEASE CLICK IMAGE FOR LARGER VERSION
This global style interior is sourced from the rich design traditions of ethnic Asia, particularly China and Japan. Drawing from the unique beauty and exquisiteness characteristic of these exotic Far Eastern worlds, this space celebrates their culture, heritage and soul.
The colour scheme is mostly monochromatic and subtle, with visual interest created by the use of textures (the 19th century Chinese screens), patterns (the typically Asian wallpaper, the Japanese pagoda toile), and various shapes (the 19th century Chinese lantern, the vintage Japanese oak chair, the Chinese low table).
The combination of greens and browns, the colours of nature, make for a design that is down to earth and practical. The feel is refreshing and soothing. Accents of the complimentary red in muted shades contribute to this healthy balance and harmony. ♦
