New Chinese interior design.

New Chinese style (新中式) brings classical Chinese furniture into modern homes: Ming-style chairs, symmetry, lattice screens and round-and-square motifs, in dark wood with brass details. The modern half keeps lines straight and the walls plain, so the traditional pieces read as a few strong accents.
