"There are several characteristics typical of Asian interior decorating. Japanese design uses colors found in nature, such as grays, tans and greens. The Japanese take a minimalist approach to design and refrain from using too many decorative objects. The Chinese, on the other hand, are attracted to bolder colors, such as red and mustard yellow. Figurines of mythical creatures are commonly displayed in Chinese interiors. Chinese furniture is often executed with lacquer finishes or with darker woods. While Japanese and Chinese are two of the best known, other Asian cultures use design elements that can easily be combined with western styles, such as a Korean chest or Balinese chair."
