Asian art and home decor
... mysterious and mystic
symbolism combined with exotic imagery, and origins dating back
thousands of years, are what puts Asian design among the most popular
around the world today.
The Asiatic style, otherwise
known as Far Eastern or Oriental decorating, has several distinct roots tracing back to the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, China and
Japan. The most prolific Asian motifs found throughout the world, however, fall into the Chinese
and Japanese categories.
 
Balance is achieved through placement of stones,
plants and color.
Through careful
placement and alignment of artwork and fixtures made of ceramics, wood, bamboo and stone, Asian
themes convey a sense of peace and tranquility, while at the same time
offering comfort and functionality. Lanterns, shades,
vases, statues, plants and wall hangings can all be used to create a stunning Asian
atmosphere.
