Taste of the Orient

GO EAST

Do pick Oriental-style finishes such as dark wood, black lacquer and bamboo.

Don't over-clutter your room. The Kyoto trend is a simple, unfussy style.

Do use coloured patterns that already match the shades you have in the room.

Don't get wallpapering - stickers with butterfly, bird or bamboo motifs can be put up in an instant and are mess-free.

Do use symmetrical arrangements for a table setting.
