When shopping for new furniture or decor for your house, you may need to focus on a specific style or theme. The Asian decor has in recent years become quite popular due to its minimalistic, sharp, clean, and unique style. It is a perfect style for redecorating town homes and city apartments. So how do you achieve this unique Asian style in your home? When you want to create to an Asian oasis in your home, start with the colour scheme of your new design. Asian styles usually incorporate red, jade, green, and black hues. These are the colours of nature, so to speak. Your walls and furniture ranging from the sofa and coffee-table to your bookcase should reflect these natural colours in an organized way.

 

The colours should not be overtly painted in a circus sort of way but should appear naturally in the furniture and items you have indoors. For instance, reds and blacks are represented by hardwoods such as oak and teak. This means that you need to use high quality solid wood pieces of furniture preferably in a stained black or natural lacquer finish. Mirror decorations are also quite popular in Asian decor. Remember Oriental furniture is usually set low as close to the floor as possible. Such pieces of furniture are quite minimalistic with straight lines and can easily be designed or, better still, bought from leading online furniture stores such as Tikamoon.

 

Hand-carved doors and custom mouldings are also quite effective in creating an Asian inspired look and feel in your home. The carved doors create a lasting first impression when visitors drop by. This Asian decor is best completed with strategically placed accent pieces or decorative items. These are items with Asian influence such as a decorated mirror, a gong, a bamboo wall divider, or simply a painting of rural china. You can place these pieces on the bookcase or on top of your teak coffee table. However, avoid overdoing it as this may lead to clutter and interfere with the good chi energy flowing into your house.
