Castle Room Chinese Room

In the 18th and 19th centuries, it was almost a must for wealthy castle lords to have a Chinese Room in their palaces and estates. This exotic trend arose from a European fascination with China and the Far East, which grew through trade and cultural exchange opportunities. Especially during the Renaissance and until the end of the 19th century, the fascination with the land of dragons and the Silk Road was so great that many princes and nobles had their rooms designed in the Chinese style.

A room that brings the world of the Far East into the splendour of the castle

Exotic beauty and luxury

Inspired by this era, our Chinese Room showcases a harmonious blend of Far Eastern culture and European luxury. The design incorporates the central elements of traditional Chinese interior design, yet with a unique interpretation that honours the history and cultural exchange of the past centuries.

Colours and Materials:

  • Jade Green and Gold: These two colours dominate the bathroom and lend the space a majestic elegance. Jade, the symbol of wisdom and prosperity, along with gold, which reflects the wealth and splendour of the castle lords, create a luxurious atmosphere. The golden accents are found in both the decorative elements and the elegant accessories.
  • Velvet: The soft, luxurious velvet in deep tones provides a harmonious connection between the various elements, making the room a place of tranquility and well-being.
  • Wallpaper with Chinese Patterns: The walls of the room are covered with wallpaper that features traditional Chinese motifs. These patterns symbolise happiness, prosperity, and harmony. They evoke the Far Eastern art of mural painting and create a calm yet impressive atmosphere.
