5 Tips to Frugally Achieve Asian Décor in the Living Room

If you are looking for some inspiration on how to redecorate the biggest and the most important room in your household – the living room – and you love Asian culture, I believe that this article is going to help you a lot! I gathered five basic tips how you can recreate the room with some Asian décor in it. I am surely going to share it right now! It is not that hard to do it, and it will create an entirely different look for the room as well. So, have fun decorating and designing and bring a little bit of Orient in your house.

Embrace Natural Colours in Your Asian Décor

So, one of the first things you need to look at your living room is what kind of colour palette dominates there? If you see many eclectic and bright colours – you are far away from Asian décor.

In fact, many Asian cultures, especially Far East (Japan and China) do tend to have more natural colours in their household. Therefore, various greens, blues, browns and other neutral colours are perfect for interior. These colours create a relaxed and smooth vibe. While bright and vivid colours do the opposite. So keep this in mind and maybe repaint your room first.

…But Don’t Say Strict no to Bright Colours

A totally neutral coloured room won’t look impressive and real Asian. For best results, you should try to incorporate just a few accent pieces around the living room with bright and vivid colours. For example, one armchair in bright red or a few throw pillows on the neutral coloured couch can do the work to spice up your Asian décor.

In fact, various reds, purples or even cherry pinks are the best choice if you are trying to achieve an Asian décor vibe. Just pick a few accents and incorporate them into your natural coloured living room.

Incorporate Water

Since we talked a little about how Asians love nature and tend to bring that home, one of the ways you can create that atmosphere in your household is to incorporate water. The sound of flowing water is considered both harmonious and positive according to Feng Shui – the ancient Chinese philosophy. So a little water fountain or fish tank can be perfect for your Asian décor.

Work on the Light as Well

Light is crucial in every room, and while you are trying to achieve the Asian décor look, you should keep that in mind as well. Hanging paper lanterns, sculptural metal lighting installations, and even a few carefully placed candles will go perfectly in creating a room inspired by the Orient! Just don’t overdo it, and try to keep a good balance in the room.

Not too bright and not too dim.

Don’t Forget Plants

And finally, for an authentic Asian décor feel, remember to add a few live plants around the living room. It won’t only make a whole room look more finished and close to the Far East style, but will bring even more of nature to the room. A little bonsai tree or a mini bamboo forest near the wall will symbolize Asian décor perfectly.

It will work magically with another accent in the room as well. So try to incorporate a little bit of life in the place and you will have a real Asian oasis in your home,
