Learn How To Decorate In The Bold Asian Style
There is beauty, elegance and boldness in the Asian style of decorating. This is the perfect style for anyone looking to make a great impression with a home that displays style and demands attention. This is a style that is not for those seeking a relaxed atmosphere, but for those that want to delve into the bold and dramatic! Using the tips in this article will allow you to create an atmosphere that will entice all that enter.
Though it may sound surprising, Asian décor actually offers simplicity. Clutter is eliminated with minimal use of furniture and accessories. Bold and dramatic colors are found in the pieces in order to provide greater visual impact.
Use of Bold, Dramatic Color
Most colors used in Asian décor are red, black, gold and shades of tan, brown and grey, this is predominantly true in Japanese style decorating. Black lacquer is usually used on furniture for that glass like shine. Gold is a good choice for walls and trim.
Incorporating Texture
Asian décor uses plenty of natural textures. Bamboo is of common use in furnishings, window coverings and plant containers. The use of paper surfaces may be included in wall prints, and natural rock adds to the drama. You will usually find that bamboo plants are in containers adorned with red and gold hues.
Oriental Rugs are a Must
Oriental rugs are a key part of keeping the look and style of this type of décor! Contrary to many other styles of décor, the Asian style relies heavily on the floor. In this style of décor furnishings are chosen to complement or draw out the colors on the floor.
Other elements that are important to this style of décor are window accents and screens. Shoji screens can be used as décor that serves to divide the room or as cover for unattractive spaces. The screen can also be used as a covering which can block the views for a window. These elaborately decorated screens are of key importance to the oriental theme.
The windows themselves are kept basic and plain in order to provide a balance to the unique flooring and furnishings. Simple accents, bamboo and wooden blinds; these are all typical characteristics of windows. Tan, grey or neutral furnishings can be complimented with golden window accents; and for a more Chinese approach, window accents often include tassels.
Serenity and peace are just as important when decorating in the Asian style as drama and bold colors are. Bold accents and the natural elements should be used together, while keeping clutter to a minimum. Your tones will not only be dramatic and bold, but they will also offer simplicity and serenity.
Take note of the décor the next time you find yourself in an oriental style restaurant. Examples of this beautiful style of décor can help you figure out how to better use this look in your own home, and finding these examples is as easy as going online. There is no better way to make a simple home look elegant and bold than by using the Asian style of décor.
