Many homeowners consider home decorating to be quite a challenge, however if you can identify the furniture, accessories and colours to use, you can easily create your own theme.

A lady friend of mine had quite a liking for Asian clothes, but what I dint know is that her home was also decorated in Asian theme. What inspired you to Asian theme in your home decor i asked her, the boldness of the colours they use she told me. The mixture of red and gold, which happen to her favourite colours, inspired her to be almost Asian in every aspect of her life.

One thing that I also realised is that Asian theme decor does not come any cheap! This elegance comes at a rather high price for the average consumer. However, the sparseness of this home decorating style makes it possible when other styles with this sort of price tag would not be possible. One of the most important things to remember when attempting to bring an Asian style of décor into your home is the heavy reliance upon colour and texture, I observed.

An Asian influenced bedroom is bold when gold and red are used for the colour scheme. In the bedroom, bedding, vases, picture frames and night stands adds unique interest. Window treatments are bold when bamboo shades are used. Lighting plays an important role. Bedrooms need both overhead lights and lights beside the bed.

Look for lighting that is bright with black painted wood or adorned with rice paper shades as it improves the Asian decorating style. Adding area rugs to your Asian decorating style bedroom can make the room look good. The perfect type of flooring for the colourful and exotic style is bamboo mats or sculpted rugs which should be neutral or bright colours depending on the style.

One can also add figures such as Geisha girl dolls on black lacquer shelves or simple flower arrangements in unassuming vases or bowls. An indoor water fountain adds an interesting touch. One could also add an Asian room divider, and Asian figurines in glass domes to make the most of your decorating scheme. On the bed, use decorative pillows in rich red and gold silks.

Dining rooms decorated in Asian style are stunning. In this situation not only can the implements added to the room serve to improve and enhance the décor but also the placemats on the table can serve as an important tool in establishing the theme of this supremely elegant room.

Chopsticks and dishes, particularly tea servings are other great enhancements to an Asian dining room. This is a room that many families will enjoy dining in.  The bathroom also makes an excellent room in which to incorporate an Asian inspired theme.

This is a room in which people go to relax and wash away the worries and stress of their days. For this reason, it makes perfect sense that some of the more tranquil and relaxing design accents of an Asian décor would be appropriate.

Try adding sandstone or wooden Buddha statues to your bookshelves. Buddha masks will also add a calming and serene effect to your home environment. And lastly, Asian décor is characterized by its’ minimalist style. Don’t overpower your home décor with too many Asian accents.

A few key furnishings will go a long way to adding the cultural appeal you are looking for. An Asian theme can be one of the most beautiful in the realm of home decorating if you are truly willing to invest the time and money it takes to do this theme properly.

And while many people are looking to add an Asian influence to their home, few really know how to correctly accomplish this theme, because It can also be very unappealing if you choose cheap and tacky decorations rather than quality accessories
