Oriental Furniture – Solid Teak Furniture

The healthy and nourished looking grain of teak is ideal for creating a relaxing environment. Teak is a tropical hardwood, usually grown in the Caribbean or South East Asia. It is commonly used to make outdoor solid teak furniture because its natural oils and density make it one of the most resilient and strongest woods around. The natural oils in question, guard it against surface damage from any liquid or any small scratches, this eliminates the need for any chemical varnishes. The strength and resilience of solid teak furniture means that it will last a lifetime.

In order to create a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere, you need to create a sense of space and make an area seem as open as possible. A stylish item, which is as much at home in a dining room, as a living room or kitchen, is the teak sideboard from the ‘Double’ range. The clean lines of the wood and the large surface area instantly provide a sense of space. The open shelf which reveals the wallpaper or coloured wall behind, is a great way of integrating such a large piece of solid teak furniture and creating a stylish yet spacious room.

In order to truly relax and feel at peace with a room you must be completely comfortable spending time in it. This may not always mean lots of light and clean lines, it could equally be achieved through the use of deeper, warmer colours and furniture full of character. The LF teak chest of the drawers has a beautiful wood grain and a slightly darker colour, which gives a real sense of warmth. Coupled with a Taj Agra rug and warmly decorated walls and surfaces, you can quickly turn a cold bedroom or living room into a cosy and peaceful place to relax.

Oriental Furniture – Traditional Lacquered Furniture

Creating a sense of peace within a room can be difficult, especially if you have the clutter and storage needs that come with a large family or a smaller room. Our white lacquer Oriental furniture range is the ideal solution. Large items such as sideboards and chests of drawers are able to reflect light and brighten up a room as well as deliver a large volume of storage space. The white lacquer collection is visually stunning. The colour which is a neutral and subtle light cream with distressed wooden edging, will fit into any scheme and instantly make a room feel light, airy and peaceful.

The balance of elegant traditional Oriental style and contemporary clean lines, makes the lacquered Oriental furniture range extremely versatile. It also makes it easier for you to design your interior. The traditional influences mean that it will look great in a traditional building with some older hardwood furnishings. But the contemporary design and semi-gloss finish will also perfectly complement a modern home. The black and white lacquer also work well together when put in the same room, which is a popular choice as variety can be important when making a room comfortable.

Sometimes your biggest problem in creating a peaceful environment will be space. You must always work with the space you have and not try to make it something else. An excellent way to make the most of a small space such as a second bedroom or hallway is a slim Oriental console table and mirror. The console and mirror are available in black or white and have the same Oriental contemporary style. The subtle and attractive mirror will spread light around the space and really make something of a small area.
