What is Oriental wallpaper?

Oriental wallpaper designs are inspired by East Asian countries, including China, Japan, Vietnam and Thailand. It takes Feng Shui into account when arranging decor to achieve harmony, balance and prosperity. Oriental wallpaper usually comprises vibrant colours and intricate prints of wildlife and landscapes.

Chinese wallpaper

Chinese wallpaper is notable for its elaborate animal motifs and a vintage appeal that is reminiscent of grand palaces and stately homes. The Chinese style of art that influenced 18th-century design is known as ‘Chinoiserie’ and comes from the French term Chinois (Chinese). Chinoiserie wallpaper is a Western interpretation of Asian styles, not an actual Chinese design. Modern Chinese wallpaper features lush landscapes and exotic blooms in very ornate detail. The colour palette spans deep blues, mustard yellows, burnt ochres, misty greys and muted greens.

Japanese Oriental wallpaper

Japanese Oriental wallpaper is softer and more whimsical with elaborate landscapes, trees and flowers, including the country’s iconic cherry blossom. Premium wallpaper brand Rasch has a lovely collection of Japanese designs, such as the Kimono Legendary Cranes wallpaper which features cranes, fans, clouds, and blossoms in a warm orange, pink and green palette. The Kyoto Cranes design is similar but has more emphasis on the deep blue backdrop and textured matte finish to give a fabric-like appearance. The Kimono Koi is an example of Japanese Oriental wallpaper’s serenity, with peaceful koi swimming among lilies on embossed vinyl (non-woven) for an almost 3D effect.
