Australians have finally come of age with the new knowledge and confidence to mix styles together when selecting furniture. Eastern furniture is a perfect choice in giving your modern home or apartment that interesting eclectic look. This look really is wonderful in that it will never really date and you will find that over the years it will continue to fit into nearly any house you may move to. The perfect balance of Ying and Yang.
The pieces that fit so well into our current contemporary lifestyle tend to be pieces such as the TV cabinet or the “Wedding Cabinet” as it is traditionally known. This is the perfect example of using something traditional to house a modern day appliance. I know we now have fabulous Plasma and LCD TVs but for those of us that hate the look of a big black screen in the living or bedroom ( eg me) this is a perfect solution. You have choices to conceal the unit and also choices for those that still love to show off their new screen and to display your TV and hold your DVDs and CDS.
The fabulous colours of the black or Chinese red lacquer look amazing or for a warm look the elm is beautiful. They will often have large metal fittings in brass. Whilst antiques can be beautiful they are not always as functional as this. These newly made cabinets combine antique design with a more sensible price tag and usefulness.
Of course you can also add a few other pieces such as a coffee table or hang really large paintings of an Emperor and Empress on the wall.
Keep mixing, glass coffee tables can also float into the room adding yet another element and another dimension to this look.
Instantly the room is transformed, giving the impression that the home owner has traveled the world collecting interesting pieces over the years. Mix this with a stylish modern sofa and a few other large contemporary artworks and viola …you are far from boring, you will probably be considered an interesting stylish decorator!
