Changing Tastes - The Appeal Of The Orient
The world is growing - boundaries seem to be disappearing and
never has this been more apparent than in home decor. Now that
travel is so much cheaper and people are more adventurous, their
tastes are changing and being redefined by the various cultures
they come in contact with during their travels.
Gone are the days when houses were decorated in the colour tones
and furnishings that were more specific to Western culture and
tastes. Step in to some houses and the abundance of Oriental
decorative items such as Buddha figurines, Feng Shui influenced
accents and decorative vases as well as the rich and vibrant
tones with which walls are painted, come as no surprise. The
number and popularity of home makeover shows is proof that
people value the appearance of their living spaces more than
ever before. Often the décor of a living room is an expression
of one's personality and a lot of time and effort goes into the
positioning of furniture, colour and material of curtains,
decorative accents and type of floor coverings.
Studied symmetry has given way to softer lines, fewer rules, and
more color. Asian & Oriental decor is well known for featuring
softer, warmer and more 'earthy' or natural tones - often the
furniture is made of dark-wood such as teak and the fabrics in
the room are soft linens, cottons or even Silks. Area Rugs of
Wool, Jute, Hemp and Cotton are used to add colour and character
to an otherwise dull and unexciting room.
The internet has also made it
easier for people to access these
Oriental products without having to travel to the East. Internet
shopping has grown over the years and the increased security
features make it more appealing - it helps that you don't get
sore feet too!
Some of the best Asian & Oriental décor products can be found on
websites like www.MyOriental.com that specialise in home
decorative items from Thailand. The products are unusual and
have been carefully sourced by its owners who have a great love
for the Orient. The products featured on the site have been
chosen with great care - they are known not just for their
unusual nature but for their quality as well.
Regardless of what purpose your living room serves, the fabrics,
colors, furniture, and accessories should be what you love.
Whether it's serene and neutral, colorful and lively, or
something in-between, it should reflect your taste. It is, after
all, your room.
