Navigating the fast-paced urban lifestyle becomes much easier when you can come back to a peaceful home. We all want a home retreat that helps us to escape the never-ending rush of this lifestyle. Asian design brings balance and harmony to the decor to achieve this goal in its own unique style. Asian interior design is an authentic style slowly finding its way into modern interior design. The decor in this style radiates with serenity and calm. The Asian design style is a fusion of many different styles such as the Japanese, the Chinese, and the Indian. However, oriental influences that originated in the Far East several centuries ago, often dominate this style. Whether it is an Asian living room design or an Asian-inspired bedroom, there are many ways to incorporate this style into your homes.
Creating an Asian design inspired room is much more than just adding a few distinct decorations. Balance and harmony are the key aspects of this design style. The right balance of colors, textures, and elements surrounding you instills a sense of calm and peace. Vibrant colors, rich textures, natural materials, sleek symmetry, and minimalist decorations define the Asian style. Oriental influences and Japanese and Chinese designs are the most prominent in Asian decor. The Japanese design style is innately simple, minimalist, and one that is closest to nature and its many hues. Traditional Chinese decor is far more opulent and expansive with regal reds, lavish gold, captivating jade, and plush purple tones. The typical Indian style is a colorful, unabashed celebration of life showcasing traditional Indian motifs and cultural icons.
