"We wanted to create a soothing, relaxing atmosphere" The client came to us with specific ideas for the room - their inspiration coming from a large rice bowl, which had been given to them as a gift from afar. They wanted to create a soothing and relaxing atmosphere using an Asian theme. Matthew James Furniture then researched Asian furniture to be sure we achieved the correct blend of simplicity and design. Paint colours were mixed specially and applied as a wash finish so the grain of the timber could still be seen. The decorative centre panel was polished and serves as a perfect accompaniment to the hardwood flooring.
