Asian Bedroom Designs For Today's Home


!±8± Asian Bedroom Designs For Today's Home

Traditional Asian designs have now been modified and "modernized" to adapt to present times, without deviating from the principle or purpose for which it was created. That is why Asian designs are gaining popularity in the West. Here are some Asian bedroom designs that you can incorporate in your own bedroom.

A low Japanese platform bed is one Asian item that has invaded the Western bedroom. With white cotton sheets and some colored pillows to highlight the dark wood, this creates a spa-like ambiance that is truly bliss. Or if you like, you can use a four-poster or canopy bed and drape them with sheer cloth. In the past, these cloths were used to keep mosquitoes and other insects out. When drawn back, the fabric flows in soft romantic ruffles to frame the bed. There are also sturdy bamboo beds and tatami mats that you can use in your bedroom. Add some throw pillows with Indian prints for texture and color.

Furniture is rather simple and functional. Designs are usually linear and classy. Wooden cabinets are usually built with straight lines and are painted with a natural or dark finish. Chests provide for storage in an Asian-inspired room. Woven baskets and boxes are also interesting pieces for additional storage. These items also perform dual functions. So you see a low chest that doubles as a display cabinet, or a dresser with several pull-out drawers for more storage. As for seating, a wood chair or two may be found inside an Asian bedroom. But quite more often, seating is done on the floor. That is why it is not uncommon to see printed rugs or bamboo mats and cushions lying on the floor.

Other accessories may be added to the room, like brass mirrors, jars, or paintings. To highlight your Asian pieces, paint the walls with a contrasting color. But be careful so as not to make the colors clash. The shades must still complement each other. As for the flooring, wood is the most popular choice. You do not need to use natural wood, as this is rather expensive and difficult to install. Look for laminate flooring designs and wood tiles that are Asian-looking. You can also use cork or bamboo tiles. Recessed lights complete the simple look of the room. However, you can also use floor lamps or hanging lamps that give soft lighting.
