Asian Inspired Furniture

It is not necessary to buy an expensive set of furniture items or hire an interior decorator to decide an Asian inspired look. All you need to do is check that all the items of the Asian furniture blend nicely with the wall colors, and with each other; and you can create a colorful or a sober Asian home decor. There are basically two types of furniture themes you can go with; you can create an Indian inspired furniture look, which is great if you are a person who likes an interesting colorful interior. Or you can create a sober interior using Japanese inspired furniture, to create a peaceful and Zen like interior. Let us look at these two furniture inspired styles in detail.

Japanese Inspired Furniture
Japanese inspired furniture is mostly rich shiny black lacquer work, that is decorated with intricate designs in green, red, golden or pink colors. Most of the furniture is low to the ground and made of wood. For your bedroom furniture select contemporary platform beds. You can accompany matching furniture to the bed, like two side tables, nightstands and dressers. Select designs which have elegant lines, and accompany them with right bedding like mattress covered in whites or off-white sheets, with pillows and bed covers that are a deep shade of red, greens and yellow. Add few accents like a houseplant, Japanese lamps, earthen pots, etc.

For the dining room furniture select an elegant and simple design set. The table can be a rectangular one, the chairs can be simple wooden chairs with a backrest and leather seats, you can go for chairs with the armrest or without the armrest. Add 1-2 accents to Asian dining room furniture, like a vase containing few dry flowers or simply an intricately painted empty pot. You can hang a simple soft light illuminating lamp above the table. Living room furniture can be something displayed in the picture. Instead of going for a complete floor seating arrangement, mix and match with few low platform chairs and a low table, a futon, and few pillows on the ground. Again place few accents in the living room like a Buddha statue, bamboo houseplant, light fixtures, vases, etc.

Indian Inspired Furniture
To decorate your house with Indian inspired furniture, you will need to accentuate the interior a lot of vibrant color with home furniture. For the furniture select dark exotic woods or woods which appear exotic. Some of the options include mahogany, teak, ebony and rosewood. Make sure you select items which have few intricate carvings on them, which can also be painted in beautiful colors.

Select a bed which has a low platform, and carved designs on it. Use bedding which have softer colors, but have Indian designs on them. Accompany the bed with matching furniture like side tables and dressers, and add few accents like lamps and vases to the Asian bedroom furniture. The sitting area in the living room can be created using a low table, and accompanied with rugs and pillows. You can add a hookah as an accent, and keep few bronze antic pieces to decorate the room. The rest of the furniture like the cupboards and sofas can be of simple designs, but make sure they are made of exotic looking wood.

These were the tips to help you create a modern Asian inspired decor. So, decorate your home with the above ideas, and create a peaceful and elegant looking home decor that is inspired by Japan, or a vibrant and colorful one that is inspired by India.
