Beautifying Your master bath Using An Asian inspired theme

Menu

Your master bath is a wonderful spot for your own private retreat and you can add to that by decorating it with a sleek and peaceful Asian Decorating Scheme.

Even if you don't have a lot of design experience you can achieve a Asian inspired look in your master bath with just a few alterations such as getting new rugs and matching your a shower curtain and towels to insert some the Orient to your room. Some things to consider when changing your decorating style include floor coverings, fixtures, decorative items and wall color in conjunction with your hamper and linen storage.

It's not crucial that you coordinate your hamper, linen storage, and vanity but the master bath should maintain a variety of sleek and elegant pieces. To really pick up on the Asian style, go for furnishings with a black lacquer finish.

How you dress your windows can can enhance your Asian inspired style. To get a great design in your master bath go with working with silk drapes with or without embroidery or silk fabric valances with sheers. There are a selection of window coverings that go with this design, especially if you use coordinating fabrics, but you should avoid anything to puffy or heavy.

Decorative items are key to pulling your Asian inspired design theme together. You can dramatically change the appearance of your room by simply replacing the accessories! Concentrate on getting a shower curtain, towels and toiletries, in that match your Asian decorating style. You won't believe that these basic changes can make a big difference. You want to be sure to incorporate lots of rice paper folding screens or Shoji doors along with Asian style potted plants and you may even try some exotic knick knacks like geisha girl figures or anything with an Asian look to add some punch to your master bath. Supplementary touches such as a beautiful silk komino hung on the wall can have a look that seems like it came out of a magazine.

The floor covering can make or break your decor, but if you can not afford new floors in your master bath then work with what you have by covering them with area rugs that have an Asian decor. If you do want to go with new floors, consider dark hardwood loors or bamboo flooring.

The appropriate lighting is key in any room in your house and the master bath is no exception. To go with your Asian inspired decor, you will want to pay attention to light fixtures in terms of both style and type. Many master bathrooms can use recessed lighting combined with sconces. When you are incorporating an Asian style, you may want to consider using plain overhead lighting with accent lighting with silk or puffed paper shades but you should shy away from anything that is country style lighting.

A critical component when decorating your master bath with an Asian inspired look is your wall paint. For this theme the colors are important - try adding reds and muted tones with contrasting woods either in your wall color or your accessories. Try using a deep red paint on the walls, or if you want something different go with a lighter colored paint or wallpaper in plain pattern. It doesn't need to cost a lot and if you don't want color on the walls, simply paint the walls a neutral paint and and play up the color with accents.

A critical aspect that is many times ignored when redecorating your room are your walls. Even the ugliest walls can be enhanced with great wall art and decorative accessories. Try applying Asian silk painting hung in vintage frames or block prints to your master bath walls to highlight the exotic appeal of your Asian decorating style.

Attaining a smart Asian look in your master bath can entail a lot of work, or simply involve buying new decorative accessories. Either way, attention to the fine details and making sure you match your furniture and decorative accessories will help you achieve a great new Asian inspired theme that you will be proud to say you accomplished all by yourself!
