Your family room is a nice spot for family time and I can't think of a better way to enjoy it then to design it with a sleek and peaceful Asian theme.
No matter how big or small your budget is, you can produce a Asian inspired look in your family room by altering simple aspects of the room like getting new rugs and coordinating your pillows and wall art to bring some the Orient to the room. Don't be timid to change things such as your flooring, fixtures, decorative accessories and wall color together with your couch and easy chair.
What's on your floor can add to the room decoration, but if it costs too much for new floors for your family room then work with what you have by covering them in area rugs that have an Asian decor. If new floors are in your budget, consider dark hardwood loors or bamboo flooring.
Lighting is important in any room in your house and the family room is no exception. To go with your Asian inspired look, you will want to look at the style of light fixtures together with the type. While you are trying to get an Asian decorating style, try installing plain overhead lighting with accent lighting with silk or puffed paper shades but Remember to avoid anything which is country style lighting. A good number of family rooms can utilize overhead lighting in conjunction with table lamps.
Accessories are important to pulling your Asian inspired design theme together. You can even totally alter the style of your room merely by changing the accessories! Concentrate on purchasing pillows, wall art and knick knacks, in colors and patterns that match your Asian look. It's amazing the impact a few alterations can make! You want to be sure to add in plenty of rice paper folding screens or Shoji doors as well as Asian style potted plants and you could even try certain exotic knick knacks like geisha girl figures or anything with an Asian look to add some punch to your family room. Incorporating additional decor like a beautiful silk komino hung on the wall can help setup your room with a polished designer look.
What you put on your windows can affect your Asian inspired decorating style. There are plenty of window treatments that you can match up to this style, particularly if you match other fabrics or colors in the room, but you probably want to avoid anything to puffy or heavy. For a fantastic look in your family room try having silk drapes with or without embroidery or silk fabric valances with sheers.
It's not critical to use coordinating couch, easy chair, and coffee table but the family room should maintain lots of sleek and elegant items. To really enhance the Asian style, try furniture that have a black lacquer finish.
A vital ingredient when decorating your family room with an Asian inspired look is your wall paint. For this design theme the colors are important - consider making use of reds and muted tones with contrasting woods in the room. Try using a deep red paint on the walls, or go with a lighter colored paint or wallpaper in plain pattern. You don't need to go all out and if you are afraid of a bit of color, simply paint the walls a neutral color and add the color in your accents.
A critical aspect that you might want to consider when decorating are your walls. You can make even the plainest walls look wonderful with great wall art and decorative accessories. Try adding Asian silk painting hung in vintage frames or block prints to your family room walls to really bring out the exotic appeal of your Asian decorating style.
Attaining a rewarding Asian look in your family room can be as basic as just buying new decorative accessories or as involved as replacing everything. Either way, working on the details and making sure to match your furniture and decorative accessories will help you pull off a fantastic new Asian inspired theme that you will be proud to say you accomplished all by yourself!
