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.

Combining the incompatible: the Viennese chairs, lamps by Philippe Starck, the bathroom in the style of hi-tech and Empire-style doors. All of this is eclectic and is called "fusion».

By combining several trends in a single interior design it is possible to create a sort of "artful chaos" that is the "Fusion" style. However, it is not that simple. Fusion implies extraordinary ideas that transcend the commonly accepted stereotypes. Fusion is an experiment. There are no rules when creating a Fusion interior, for there cannot be. It is a mix of styles, each time with different ingredients and in different proportions. That's why a Fusion-style interior cannot be copied - the style itself does not allow any copying. It opens up great opportunities for creativity and can satisfy widely varied tastes and requirements. Fusion likes the daring. It often incorporates seemingly unmixable items that we're used to seeing in specific interior styles: Classical, Baroque or even High-Tech.
