Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen reveals the influences from the Far East that pervade typical British living rooms, such as chintz curtains, blue-and-white vases and the tradition of afternoon tea. He also examines the classic English designer Thomas Chippendale's oriental inspirations and finds that traditional hand-painted Chinese wallpapers are still being made today.
