One design element that most Asian or Oriental interiors feature is an understanding and obedience to basic feng shui principles.

Silk is mostly used for its rich and opulent feel as furniture and bedding covers. Highly glossy lacquered furniture is favoured for its sleek with simple lines and is always functional.
