Asian style home decor, also known as Oriental home decor, is an interesting design style inspired by the cultures of East Asian countries like Japan, China, Vietnam and Thailand among others.
Asian-inspired interiors evoke an image of calm and serenity and transform the home into a peaceful oasis by creating an eclectic space with some adorable oriental touches.
So read on to find out how you can embark on a journey to elevate your space with some of these DIY Asian decor ideas in order to infuse harmony and elegance in every corner of your home.
Shogi-style lampshades
Whether it was the allure of incorporating natural elements you found hard to resist after your cruise to Japan or were inspired by the simplicity of their homes, Shoji screens are a classic element to add a touch of Zen minimalism in any room.
Typically made from rice paper and fibreglass, you can easily create your own Shogi-style lampshade using a few tools to wrap the rice paper around a lamp base and secure it with glue or a ribbon.
Bamboo wood chimes
A highly sustainable and versatile element that is often used in Asian decor design is bamboo. You can use this material to make your own bamboo wind chime by threading bamboo skewers on metal rings and hanging them from a metal rod.
For better effect, hang a few small bells to create a soothing sound when the wind blows to give your home the feeling of a tranquil garden to enhance the calming effect.
Embrace Feng Shui Principles
By embracing Feng Shui principles, one can foster positive energy flow within their entire living space. To begin with, arrange furniture in a way that allows smooth circulation of energy and unclutters the pathways.
Introduce plants, water features and stones to balance the energy in the different parts of the house. Position the bed in a command position to provide a good night’s sleep. This will also enhance the visual aesthetics and create a vibrant environment.
Adorn with Chinese calligraphy wall art
In order to infuse some artistic allure into your interior space, adorn the walls with the grace of Chinese calligraphy, by opting for carefully chosen pieces that convey some meaning and embody the beauty of artistry.
Place scrolls or framed calligraphy that align with your aesthetics to create a sophisticated atmosphere. Moreover, Chinese calligraphy is known for its finesse and rich history and being a captivating element that infuses cultural depth into your home.
Add a luxurious touch
Elevate the interiors of your living space with some silk textiles or furnishings that can add a touch of opulence to living space surroundings. Opt for silk throw pillows, cushions or drapes for providing a natural sheen and an inviting ambience.
Whether you introduce this in your bedding, accent chairs or curtains, they will have the ability to reflect light and enhance the overall visual appeal. This introduction of silk will transform an ordinary space into an inviting and comfortable haven.
