Chinese style home decor and Oriental inspired favors have an exotic feel with bright, vivid colors, including a lot of red, black and gold. Floral designs are common, including cherry blossoms, orchids, bamboo, mums and lotus. Other common designs found in this type of decor include Chinese dragons, peacocks, fish, pandas, oriental landscapes and architecture and the intricate characters used to form Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese writing. Rosewood and bamboo are commonly used to create oriental style furniture.

Home decor that comes from South Asia also has an exotic appeal, with a much different look. These Asian and Chinese home textiles are full of bright, vivid colors and patterns and bring to mind the kind of decor you would expect to see in some desert palace.
