Asian-influenced design should be balanced and simple. You can create an exotic Asian-themed bedroom with a little paint and a few simple and inexpensive accessories and window dressings. Before you know it, you will be in a state of Zen while relaxing in your Asian-inspired bedroom. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Choose a wall color. For the walls, choose a warm and rich earth tone like a muted olive green or, if you prefer darker colors, a warm and rich burgundy.
2. Buy new bedding. Choose solid-colored or muted-patterned bedding that complement your wall color. Resist any bold or bright patterns; they are too busy and create "visual noise."
3. Hang curtains. Bamboo Roman shades are an excellent choice. If the price of real bamboo shades is a little too steep, try imitation bamboo shades. No one will know the difference.
4. Purchase a few area rugs. Buy natural-fiber area rugs like those made of jute, sisal or sea grass.
5. Choose accessories. To give balance to the predominately straight and geometric lines of the room, buy soft and curvy accessories. These accessories also will add interest and personality to your Asian-inspired bedroom.
6. Consider purchasing a bedside fountain. Moving water is considered to be good "chi" or energy, because as it moves, it cleanses. Aside from the chi factor, fountains are soothing.
