The East is usually associated in our mind with wealth, magnificence, luxury, elegance and of course with the magic of Arabian fairy tales. The houses, decorated in oriental style, are very different from all popular interiors in our country. It is originality and originality that makes the eastern interior so attractive.
The main directions in the eastern style
In short, the oriental style in the interior can be divided into:
- Arab,
- Asian (Chinese, Japanese).
Each of the above areas is characterized by its own colorist and a specific set of materials used in the design of the room, which help to create a unique oriental atmosphere of its kind.

At registration of rooms, as a rule, the heavy, expensive wooden furniture generously decorated with a refined carving is used. It should be remembered that in the East, objects from ceramics, chasing, various mosaic elements, colorful patterned carpets have always been highly valued - everything that is skillfully created by hand craftsmen.

For японского стиля характерна сдержанность цветовой гаммы, а китайский стиль изобилует яркими красками (насыщенным красным, синим и желтым цветом).
We offer a few more details to consider the design of the room in a fabulously beautiful Arabic style, since it attracts with an abundance of bright and original details.
Zoning room
The first thing you should begin to design a room with is its division into functional areas. In the case of arrangement of a large room, it can be divided into two separate zones:
- recreation,
- food intake.
In a small room, these zones are usually combined.
In the recreation area the centerpiece is a sofa littered with lots of colorful small pillows. Before the sofa should certainly be a small table for the hookah.
In the reception area surrounded by ottomans, it is necessary to arrange a low table filled with dishes with fruit and oriental sweets.
The main requirement for the sofa and ottomans is convenience. Upholstered furniture in the east upholstered with satin or silk. If you have not purchased such furniture, then just throw a bright satin bedspread on top. As a low table it is quite possible to adapt, for example, a large suitcase skilfully draped with silk fabric.
Color play
Giving an oriental note to a room, give preference in favor of colors of warm shades, while striving for their optimum combination. It is assumed that being in a state of peace of mind, it will be possible to dream about the future, make plans to achieve goals, to conquer the hearts of interlocutors. The color scheme should create a feeling of joyful and beautiful life.
We should not forget about the presence of intricate patterns on used textile materials. The combination of patterned gold and scarlet fabrics will perfectly reflect the light of lamps, and create a playful mood. At the heart of oriental design it is best to apply yellow color - the color of warmth and solar energy. In the East, since ancient times there is an opinion about yellow color, that it stimulates creativity in a person and plunges into a state of bliss. But, remember that the yellow color does not tolerate loneliness, without a combination with delicate warm shades, it can look quite defiant. Traditionally, in the East, it is customary to combine turquoise with yellow because turquoise framed with gold is considered the most exquisite decoration.
Color contrasts can be used when making stained glass windows on doors or table lamps.
Quite often, when decorating rooms in oriental style, a combination of yellow walls and red curtains is used. If you find it too contrasting, then you can try to soften the color to peach (orange) and beige (cream) tones.
Lighting
Properly created lighting is a good helper in creating the desired mood. Therefore, to decorate a room in the Arabic style, use the techniques of muted lighting.
Curtains choose from heavy dense fabric interspersed with golden threads - they will be an obstacle to the penetration of sunlight. In such a curtained dark room, it is already possible to create lighting with the help of table lamps, wall lamps, night lamps, floor lamps and candles.
Of course, such a room is hardly suitable for reading books or sewing, but for rest and relaxation, it fits just perfect. Just imagine a soft twilight, shrouded in an atmosphere of fabulous mystery, in which you can dip every day after a day full of meetings and events. Undoubtedly, rest in such a room would be a pleasure!
Exquisite trivia
In the eastern interior trivia play an important role. But strictly make sure that there are no random objects in the room that do not fit into a single style. It is also unacceptable to have portraits and sculptures of people.
But the ornaments opposite are only welcome. The ornament can be applied absolutely on any piece of furniture, starting with furniture with bed linen and ending with tablecloths with dishes. Ceilings and walls, soft carpets, clothes, elegant jewelry adorn the most beautiful patterns.
Painted carpets with a pattern or Arabic letters are greatly appreciated in the East. In the house they cover the floor and decorate the walls.
Lamps decorated with embossing and beaded threads are welcome accessories in the oriental interior. Hookah, porcelain and silver table bowls with floral ornaments, copper jugs, fruit baskets and elegant dishes for baklava and sorbet are also welcome.
Having just fantasized a little, if you wish, you can completely independently bring to the interior of your room an oriental fabulous unusual atmosphere.
