Asian Bedroom Decorating Ideas
- Hang decorative paper Chinese lantern from your bedroom ceiling, which will create soft, diffused lighting. You can purchase them with white paper or with Asian-inspired symbols and prints. If you are creative, buy a white lantern and some paint, and make a one-of-a-kind design. Replace the lantern's ordinary white bulb with a soft pink one to cast a warm glow throughout your bedroom.
- Add serenity to your bedroom by displaying a bonsai tree and a zen garden. The ancient art of pruning a bonsai tree is known to promote relaxation and inner peace. Prepare a plant pot and anchor the tree into place using wire and soil. Since bonsai trees are small, consider placing several throughout your bedroom.
- Replace your bedroom furniture with a bamboo dresser, desk or bed headboard to create an authentic Asian look. To make your home eco-friendly, choose furniture that was made with sustainable and chemical-free bamboo. You can also set out a bamboo room divider to create a reading nook or another private space. Hang bamboo blinds to keep out unwanted sunlight and to naturally cool your room.
- Create an opulent, glamorous vibe using silk bedding and window coverings. Choose fabrics in rich Asian colors, such as gold and red, and look for designs inspired by elegant kimonos and tapestries. Complete the look by displaying traditional silk paddle fans on the bedroom walls, or hanging silk jacquard lanterns from the ceiling.
