Oriental Lights for Striking Interior Designs.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Looking to light your oriental room<\/a>? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’re in the right place! Here at Lighting and Lights, we’ve hand selected favourite lighting styles to bring a light touch of the Orient to interiors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designs that come from the far East are steeped with a mystical history. An instantly recognisable look, we are transported back to rich customs and cultures from Japan, China, Vietnam, Thailand and other prominent societies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genuine antiques from this region are really popular now and are fetching a premium. They have been renowned for their hand-painted designs and high end finish, therefore it’s important that you choose a quality light. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oriental designs are often quite pared back, with pops of interest against a calm backdrop. Using oriental styled lights<\/a> works a treat to achieve this – adding floral cushions, curtains or duvet covers will complete the look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what are the best Oriental Lights<\/a>?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are many different types of Oriental styles out there and two opposing looks that are popular are modern, pared back Japanese style lights versus the more traditional Chinese lighting options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They both exude a unique flavour of the Orient that sheds light on the charm and style you create in your interiors. So which style suits you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Historically, Japan and China have shared most cultures, despite being peppered with a troubled times. Many people would be forgiven for using either in an interior design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where they generally differ (and this is by rule of thumb, as there are always those odd exceptions!), is that Japanese style is generally more pared back and calming, whereas Chinese is more dramatic and flamboyantly decorative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
