4 Living’s beautiful collection of beautiful Chinese black lacquer bedroom furniture is the perfect example of how an elegant, relaxing oriental bedroom works so well in a contemporary interior. 4 Living’s range of luxurious black lacquer oriental bedroom furniture has multiple layers of thick black lacquer and has been hand finished with stylish golden-brown distressed edging. The distressed edging, brass handles and traditional lacquer give an authentic Chinese feel, whilst the clean lines and contemporary design maintains a contemporary style. Black lacquer is a perfect base colour for creating a warm and comfortable oriental bedroom and traditionally looks great alongside warm-coloured accessories and soft furnishings.

4 Living are also proud to offer a unique and elegant range of white lacquer furniture for an oriental bedroom. If the warm tones of red and black aren’t for you, white lacquer contemporary oriental furniture will create a more light and airy atmosphere. Pastel colours and light wood tones look great alongside the beautiful subtle cream lacquer and help to create flow throughout the room. If you are working with a small bedroom space, the beautiful light tone of the off-white lacquer will help to create a sense of space.

Oriental Bedroom – Furnishing in an Oriental Style

When creating the perfect oriental bedroom, the obvious place to start is the bed. 4 Living’s beautiful black lacquer bed is available in three sizes: Double, King and Super King. The bed embraces many traditional Chinese conventions as it is low to the ground and has an ornamental lip on the lacquered, hand finished headboard. The smooth finish and perfect symmetry of the bed makes it an excellent addition (or starting point) to a contemporary bedroom.

The white lacquer bed is the epitome of a relaxing oriental bedroom addition. The creamy off-white hand-finished lacquer is the perfect complement to a featured floral wallpaper wall. The light tone of the lacquer should help light to flow through the bedroom. The white bed is available in Double and King Size.

The ancient Chinese art of Feng Shui is partly based on the idea of the spacing and relationship between different objects. When creating the perfect oriental bedroom, extra attention must be paid to finding the perfect complementary pieces to populate around larger pieces. A perfect example of this complementary balance would be putting stylish black or white lacquer oriental nightstands at either side of the bed; creating balance and injecting yet more oriental style. The 3 drawer contemporary oriental nightstand is the perfect oriental bedroom addition as it provides storage as well as style (the three brass handles are framed by the distressed golden edging on each drawer).

When designing a contemporary oriental bedroom, space is equally as important as balance. Without storage, it can be difficult to create this. 4 Living realise the importance of storage without unnecessarily compromising on floor space or style.

A beautiful compact addition to your new contemporary oriental bedroom would be the black lacquer 5 drawer chest. The 5 drawer chest provides plenty of storage space for clothes, without compromising on floor space; perfect for the smaller room. The tall chest of 5 has quite often been the solution to ‘what to put in that awkward sized alcove?’ so it provides tremendous versatility.

If you are looking for a large and elegant injection of light, the white lacquer chest of 8 drawers should be the perfect fit. The large surface area of the chest ensures it will reflect and make the most of all the light in the room. As well as being a stylish contemporary oriental statement piece, the 8 drawer chest has a tremendous deal of bedroom storage space. The chest is also available in the luxurious black lacquer.

If you are looking for a really stunning oriental statement piece then the beautiful black lacquer oriental wardrobe will more than suit your needs. The wardrobe is available with a hanging rail or shelves, providing adequate clothing storage. The wardrobe has the same black lacquer finish as the rest of the range, with subtle additions such as elegant ‘shell’ shaped forms above the hinges and a Chinese style round brass handle and pin. All-in-all the oriental wardrobe is a beautiful oriental bedroom addition.

An extremely popular take on an oriental bedroom style is the feature wallpaper wall. Usually found at the head of the bed, decorative floral wallpaper is the perfect complement to the black and white lacquered range. To create flow in the bedroom, why not take a colour from the wallpaper and continue the theme throughout the room? The continuity will help to create balance and to link the room together. The beauty of the both the black and white lacquer is that they look great alongside any colour.
