Decorating With Asian Accents – A Few Style Secrets

Asian influences have become very popular in modern interior design mainly because of the overall simplicity and the attention to detail as well as the way the style treats and uses space. Feng Shui is a term we’re all familiar with but few really understand and, although it does represent this style to some extent, it’s not the only defining characteristic.

Asian design pays a lot of attention to the elements and the way they interact. Water mixes with earth and air seamlessly and the materials used in the process, for outdoor spaces in particular, are representative of the style’s philosophy.

Shoji Screens are used to separate the areas and transform a monotonous room into welcoming space full of charm. They are most popular in bedrooms and can often replace the actual walls or as sliding panels separating the room from the rest of the house.

Screens play a defining role in every room with an Asian décor. They’re commonly used to make spaces feel inviting and private while also allowing them to be part of a bigger picture. They’re also used as decorative elements in a lot of cases.

A folding screen can be a beautiful focal point for a dining room for example. Mounted on the wall or simply used to define the area, the screen will harmonize the room with its subtle colors and images.
