CHINESE TABLE LAMPS
Chinese interior design has always been characterized by clean, horizontal lines. Today, modern Chinese interiors have added some aspects of Western design. Yet, the lines, whether they are horizontal or vertical will typically maintain a simple elegance.
Today blue & white porcelain table lamps continue to be a steady favorite among homeowners, designers and collectors.
Porcelain, wood, as well as rice paper have always been a prominent feature in Asian interiors. As for porcelain, the Chinese started larger scale production of the very popular blue and white porcelain back in the 14th century.
A contemporary Chinese living and dining room with a minimalist design evokes a feeling of openness and continuity. Architectural ceiling, wall, and window features provide much of the visual texture in a design. Furniture and accessories are usually kept to a minimum.
A popular Chinese color scheme is black, white, gold, gray, cream – or some other monochromatic scheme. When color accents are utilized, they are usually very bold, strong colors. Pastels are not generally used.
