Oriental or Asian design has become an established design style across the world. Our collection of Asian inspired wallpaper designs will help you create an ambiance full of oriental harmony. The most common and easily recognisable characteristics of oriental design are the use of bold colours and delicate ornamentation. Typically Chinese design makes use of strong colours and dark wood. Red is the most prominent colour used in Chinese design as it the sign of good luck in the Chinese culture. Yellow is another commonly used colour for interiors, with blue and white being used in traditional accessories. Japanese design embodies the philosophy of zen through simple decor and the use of natural materials. Subdued colours such as brown, green and grey and soft floral patterns intricately woven into silk fabrics are favoured over man-made colours and ostentatious embellishments. Birds and gardens are common themes depicted in the oriental design. Bamboo and stone are familiar materials with straight lines and these design elements work well in modern design.
