Decorate With an Oriental Touch
Want to make your living
space look fabulous? Go ask an interior designer and have him
transform your dream into a reality. The only thing that you will
need is a large sum of cash.
But does this mean that
fabulous homes are only for those people who have a lot of money to
spare? The answer is definitely no!
The best and maybe the least expensive way to decorate with class is
to go Oriental-style!
Here are some tips to transform your home into an Oriental haven.
1. Make use of basic furniture.
To achieve the Oriental look, home owners do not need to buy
specialized or expensive furniture sets; they can actually make use
of what they already have if it does not contradict Asian decor. A
bare set of furniture made of wood and a black metal frame would
qualify. The good thing about basic sets is that they are
inexpensive.
The oriental look will be achieved by gathering Asian decorative
pieces to mix and match.
2. Accessorize!
Many things may be considered in this step. The best part is that
all of these accessories can be found at your nearest Asian market
or the nearest Asian or Chinese communities.
- China wares
These will function both as eating utensils as well as for
decoration. Tea pots and plates that have Oriental touches can be
used as table accents. They are less expensive than purchasing
oriental vases.
- Fabrics and posters
Instead of expensive paintings, home owners can utilize the use of
Asian fabrics and Chinese posters by creating their own wall
hanging. The materials needed are adhesives, bamboo sticks, red
rope, posters and fabrics. Basically, bamboo sticks are attached on
two opposite sides of the fabric to form a scroll. The rest is up to
you and your imagination.
- Add fresh accents!
Oriental style of decorations employs a lot of fresh items. Oriental
fruits like rambutans are placed in oriental trays to function as
table centerpieces.
Dried bamboo shoots and hard-stemmed plants are often placed in
vases in place of Western type flowers.
- Zen fountains
Aside from the Oriental touch, it will also give a feeling of
tranquility to any home. You do not need to buy a Zen fountain set -
you can make it yourself. A water pump, a few rocks and Asian
decorative pieces are all that is needed.
With the above tips, you can achieve the Oriental elegance without
spending much!
