East Wind

An Oriental breeze refreshes the landscape of home design, drawing heavily on the organic, natural essence of Japanese gardens. Vine, branch and floral motifs are prominently displayed, set off by rich, deep finishes, antique looks and elegant textures. The melding of Japanese and Chinese traditional elements is juxtaposed with the blending of ancient and modern design, resulting in a riotous explosion of vibrant, very now style.
