Home Improvement September 7th, 2009
CULTURE China inherited wealth in abundance until the whole world. Architecture and interior design also participated worldwide. This design style can be adopted into homes in Indonesia. Culture of China plains leaving a trail which still can be found in any parts of the world. The tradition held strong by the Tionghoa show something special and unique.
Ancestral culture that is always awake to see the still many distinctive buildings in China Oriental, not least in Indonesia. “Oriental characteristic architecture, that in fact is derived from the plains of China, is basically the traditional ornate architectural or ornamental,” explained architect Probo Hindarto.
Examples such as the decoration on the walls, doors, and windows that are based on myths and beliefs Tionghoa nation. Ornament that is diverse, from the geometric ornamentation, motifs of plants, to animals. “If the terms of interior design, Oriental style characterized by the use of wood materials, wallpaper, and red dominant colors, dark brown or gold,” the light interior designer Timothy Iddo Malachi who familiarly called Timmy.
Style carvings in the interior of a typical Oriental carvings are usually shaped like a dragon and lion. Lotus flower is often used as a motif carvings or paintings. Then, considering the nation of China is a strong cultural preservation wherever they are, Oriental characteristic architecture also appeared in Indonesia of certain elements. For example, a typical roof China, striking colors like red, blue, and yellow, or use the dragon statue as a form of trust is still up in the house of Indonesian society descent.
“Although the merger of these two different architectures (mix of Indonesia and China), usually character Sino management architecture and decoration color is reduced, even most or all lost,” added Probo from Astudio. Similar opinion came from Timmy.
“Processing in interior design, such as only the application of the use of color, interior accessories, furniture, and divider panels.” For example, neutral colors mixed with the colors red kuat.Warna on just one area as an accent wall. Or red color on the pillowcases, carpets, curtains or fabric sofa.
“Gawangan or kongliong also often used as a connective antarruang without using a round door like a full moon,” said Timmy. According to the Probo based in Malang, natural materials such as rocks, wood, soil, widely used. Material is usually presented? ‘Honest”with unpainted. For example, the color of clay for the tiles, the color of wood to wood columns.
“Combining Oriental style with modern design elements will actually fun,” he advised. “No need to process the entire room. Focus on a few things, others left much to be simpler and more modern features Oriental elements for contrast,” added Timmy from Igloo design decor.
You can include elements such as light interior with a modern design or a set of dining chairs and table-style Sun Of course, red candles, a kind of wall decoration cheongsam dress hanging on the walls, ceramic China, wind chimes, or lanterns. ”But it just displayed some remarkable that we will feel the impression, “added Timmy.
Added Probo who also manages the site architecture and interior design, “you are also able to provide accessory paraphernalia Oriental with Java ethnic style accessories for decoration rather similar character.”
In designing the room nuanced China, what immediately flashed to use the calculation fengsui? “Everything is returned to the owner of the house if necessary to use fengsui or not,” said Timmy.
However, it is better if you use fengsui calculation. This will cause not only of Oriental appearance, but also in spatial arrangement. However, as the modernization of the public mindset, many of which are no longer using fengsui, in some even the entire design office.
“But not often, indigenous uses feng shui to organize the calculation of the house. This shows the influence of Oriental architecture for indigenous communities in Indonesia,” said the Probo steadily. According to Timmy, who never finished the project of Oriental style interior design, this Oriental style is more eternal and easily adapted without having to impress the old.
In addition, this time a lot of cloth or bamboo-patterned wallpaper or a kind of lily flower, peony, lotus and strengthen oriental nuances. “Everything should look proportional not to impress too much.” Given the modern lifestyle in terms of practical importance, adaptation and modification of a typical Oriental style is much better so everything is more simple and hassle of maintenance

Basic materials will reinforce the identity of a traditional house. So those who are interested in establishing a traditional house, must cermatdalam choose materials. Do not use materials that actually obscures the concept of home.
The most important material is wood. Typically, traditional house type of hard wood with high quality. “As wood borneo, camphor samarinda and also teak,” said Nicko Renaldi, arsitekVolume Arch Studio Bandung.
You need to look, wood is the main material in a traditional house. Therefore if you want to build a traditional house, it is better to order directly from the timber home. Take, for example, if you want to build a typical house of Java, there is good use of teak Wonosari.

The design of the room also should receive special attention. It would be better if the wall, for example, remains a plain red brick and features to emphasize ethnic impression. Use hardwood furniture that looks beautiful and durable. Moreover, the addition of ornaments such as traditional carpets and carved wooden statues and classical vases can be an option. “No need to use the original ornamentation, provided that fit with the theme of the room,” said Nicko.
There is nothing wrong also to experiment around windows and doors. Custom ornaments, such as cloth or painting the doors and windows will be featured on the natural impression of the room. But note also space in the room. The house should be impressed nuances broad areas. Decoration is stored in a corner. Let your decorator furnishings are in the middle of the house.
While the home garden may contain stone ornaments such as statues, stone statues or familiar with an interesting arrangement. Elephant grass is very suitable as a rug in a traditional garden.
