Classic Shape at www.japanese-home-gardens.com

This simple Table and chairs look neat and rustic. The Table has slim legs, tapered at the bottom and the chairs are a classic shape. An oak cabinet on the Wall provides a little storage space and its rich wooden tones are perfect in this room.

Who says you have to have matching chairs round a dining table? Here, there's a mix of seating. Two unusually shaped chairs add a sculptural feel to the table, and the contrasting colours add to their impact. They're teamed with a white chair in a classic shape and they sit beautifully around the rectangular wooden table.

Everything shouts classic in this living room. A soft Sofa in a traditional shape sits comfortably with a wooden coffee Table and sideboard, both providing useful storage space and both so elegant I they won't go out of fashion. A scattering of cushions gives | the Sofa colour and stops it looking bland, while a leather footstool adds another dose of 1 bright-as-you-like red.
