Oriental styles are very quaint. Like every ethnic trend, they are tightly bound to national tradition. The Oriental styles' main attributes are simple lines and definite forms, though less ascetical than in minimalism. Both furniture and decor use only natural materials. The furniture itself is low and squat: instead of a bed we would often encounter a podium or a futon, instead of a wardrobe - a chest and caskets. Wide door frames, contrasting colours, screens, mats,curtains made of bamboo, jute, sisal. Dimmed, opaque lighting is usually provided by low hanging lamps and squat floor lamps. The Chinese style has more decor: various figurines, lamps, calligraphy and patterns.
