MING DYNASTY TABLES

Ruling China from 1386 to 1644 A.D., the Ming Dynasty is renowned for many
things, such as the population doubling, trade expansion, drama, literature and for
creating world-renowned porcelain. Amongst these, furniture characterised by the
period became one of the most revered examples of Chinese interior design,
particularly the Ming Dynasty tables.

Made from precious wood and showing superb displays of craftsmanship and
joinery, these tables would often be simple in terms of structure with minimal
decoration. This would allow for the natural beauty of the wood to shine and for
what decoration there was to be appreciated fully.

It’s often referred to as the golden era in the development of Ancient Chinese
furniture so to unearth a Ming Dynasty antique table is one of the richest ways to
celebrate Chinese interior design in your home.

Of all of the various decorating trends and style stalwarts, Chinese interior design
is one of most unassuming of all. Though it’s talked about less frequently than
Mid-Century, Scandi or Baroque, its constant momentum, its never-fading
appearance and its perfectly poised pedigree has gained oriental design a
reputation for being one of the most powerful and memorable design dynasties in
existence.

Whilst it’s almost impossible to pinpoint the precise style of a nation with as rich
and as long a history as China, there are a number of visions that instinctively
come to mind when closing your eyes and picturing a typically Chinese interior.

Sleek surfaces of dark, lacquered woods, dimly lit, decorative lanterns,

meticulously hewn latticework furniture and screens, and colour palettes that
blend often warm neutrals with punchy, saturated tones of red (considered the
most lucky colour in Chinese culture), blacks and golds.

influences from across the continent.

In Ancient China, the plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum were known as
‘the four gentlemen’ and pine, bamboo and plum as ‘three gentlemen in winter.’
Even today, every part of the plant has spiritual meaning attached to it – the deep
root, for example, denotes resoluteness and the tall, straight stem equals honour.

These deep meanings are what make bamboo so respected and wanted in
inspired Chinese interiors whether it’s as a photo frame, as a mirror surround or
even as a lampstand. And Chinese architects are beginning to turn to bamboo
more and more as a sustainable building material.

THE LACQUER CRAFT
Lacquer techniques are synonymous with Chinese interiors and were made ever
more popular during the Ming Dynasty. It’s a skill that’s over 1400 years old and
takes a huge amount of time and discipline.

On elaborately decorated luxury furniture , the makers would build up layers of

different lacquers to carve into and create impeccably artistic scenes. One of the
most famous examples were the Chinese Coromandel screens that used a vast
combination of lacquering techniques.

too with the patterns they trace being geometric and more contemporary or floral-
based.

MING DYNASTY TABLES

Ruling China from 1386 to 1644 A.D., the Ming Dynasty is renowned for many
things, such as the population doubling, trade expansion, drama, literature and for
creating world-renowned porcelain. Amongst these, furniture characterised by the
period became one of the most revered examples of Chinese interior design,
particularly the Ming Dynasty tables.

Made from precious wood and showing superb displays of craftsmanship and
joinery, these tables would often be simple in terms of structure with minimal
decoration. This would allow for the natural beauty of the wood to shine and for
what decoration there was to be appreciated fully.

It’s often referred to as the golden era in the development of Ancient Chinese
furniture so to unearth a Ming Dynasty antique table is one of the richest ways to
celebrate Chinese interior design in your home.

THE TRADITION OF THE GARDEN STOOL
Stools are a staple in oriental room sets and one of the most iconic designs is the
barrel-shaped Chinese garden stool. Originally, it was used in China purely in
outdoor spaces.

Many Chinese homes place emphasis on the landscape and the courtyard or
garden, but where this isn’t possible, elements of the outdoors were gradually
brought inside. Or, even if the garden were visible, the garden stool moving into
the home was a way to build a bridge between the indoors and outside world.

designs either.

CHINESE INTERIOR DESIGN TRENDS

The Marie Kondo effect, though Japanese in origin, is associated with pan-Asian
design. Therefore, order and only having items in your home with purpose, which
is in fact a Chinese custom, has led to a peak in the decluttering trend.

A Chinese-style interior rarely accumulates unnecessary objects, which are
believed to drain the room and those within it of energy.

Other Chinese interior design ideas include a commitment to natural materials – a

trend that’s far-reaching and a huge part of the global interior design commentary.

The Chinese perspective is about preserving nature, honouring nature and

appreciating the positive effect using natural resources can have on a person’s
wellbeing. By bringing nature into our homes, it helps us to let go of the from the
bustle of everyday life, whether this is wooden furniture, rugs woven from natural
fibres or using stones as objects of beauty and spiritual grounding.

Another trend that’s arisen from Chinese interior design is the use of screens to
divide a room. Because over the last decade or two, there has been a seismic
shift towards open-plan living, we’ve gradually begun to drift back towards the
appeal of broken-plan.

Separated rooms mean we divide the space between cosy pockets and zones of
activity. The Chinese tradition of using decorative screens in the room to section
your space is something that’s being applied to large space in our homes as an
interpretation of modern Chinese interior design.

HOW TO INCORPORATE CHINESE INTERIOR DESIGN IN
YOUR HOME
Chinese interior decorating, like with any design influence, can be achieved in a
maximalist or minimalist way. But there are perhaps three key stepping stones
that will steer your scheme in a (far) easterly direction. The decision then is how
much pressure to apply to the pedal and how much to turn up the volume.

Ultimately, how overt or subtle do you wish oriental interior design to dominate
your room? And remember, even if you use all three of the following in
combination, your scheme can still err on the quieter side of Chinese design.

ORDER AND FLOW
Establishing immediately evident calmness in your room, a clear path to navigate
yourself around the room with space, and everything having a palpable sense of
belonging all attribute to the zen ideology.

The philosophy of Feng Shui is often the first connection people make with
Chinese interior design – where energy forces are channelled to create a feeling
of harmony in a space. It’s commonly referred to as the art of placement where
the positioning and organising of items in a room optimise the ‘chi’ (energy).

COLOURATION
Richness in colour is another tenant of traditional Chinese interior design. When

work, gilt decorative accents and brass metallics unite, the most rousing
symphony of oriental design will be played from your space.

And if something so strong doesn’t suit your taste, choose at least one of the
signature Chinese colours and use it in several places so it receives attention,

THINK DECORATIVELY
Chinese design isn’t so much a rejection of bold lines and sharp form (indeed a
lot of Chinese furniture adheres to these shapes). But, it does embrace and
champion decorative form in a very big way.
