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.

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!
