Asian Living Room Decor

Asian Living Room Decor

The minimalistic style of Asia has been infiltrating home decor for years now. The style is sharp, clean and unique, perfect for beautiful city apartments and town homes. The task of decorating with an Asian theme may seem daunting without the help of an interior designer, often a cost that isn't in the budget. However, don't be afraid to dive right in; the most effective way to achieve you desired interior decorating results are to commit to your theme, focus on a few principles and make wise purchases and your living room will come together as though it is straight from a penthouse in Tokyo.

Furniture in Asian interiors usually serve more than one purpose, as maximizing space is vital in this kind of home décor. Examples of this could be a chest with drawers functioning as a storage area and as a seat or table and the Japanese futon for sleeping and seating too. As the space is maximized as much as possible, a large floor space is kept open - requiring some kind of beautiful, and at the same time, comfortable floor covering. Depending on your taste, this covering can be a tatami mat for the Japanese feel, or a plush Oriental wool rug for a Chinese interior. Choosing which is which highly depends on the colors of your other furniture; make sure they don't clash.

Providing balanced Asian home interiors may be a bit of a challenge at first, requiring some basic knowledge or research in their culture. Windows can also add to the Oriental Asian feel. Keep them simple if all the room's other elements are elaborate and vice versa. Screens for doors or room dividers are also another usually seen element of Asian interiors. Selecting what elements to install is entirely up to your tastes - just remember to keep them simple and elegant.
