Decorating in Asian Zen Style
If you’ve been thinking about finding a calming décor style for your home, Asian Zen style might be just the right fit for you. Favoring harmony, balance, and tranquility, this style can help make your home the after-work and weekend haven you’ve been looking for. At Blind Builders here in Feasterville, we’re more than happy to help our customers achieve the right look for their spaces. Check out some ideas below!
All About Simplicity
Leaning toward minimalistic, Asian Zen style combines harmony with nature. This design style features sleek lines, circular shapes, and a relaxing atmosphere. For a color palette, Asian Zen favors neutral hues with soft tones, including whites, gray, and beige, to create a zone of tranquility. Bolder pops of accent colors like green, yellow, orange, and blue can help add drama to the room.
Use Natural Objects
Nature is part of Asian Zen’s connection to serenity, so use plants to add color and an outdoor aesthetic, as well as help provide oxygen—just be sure to avoid any plant that’s high maintenance. Instead, look for things like bonsai trees, snake grass, and bamboo. The outdoors can also be represented in rocks, sand, and gravel. You could also use a water feature made from pleasantly arranged stones, to provide relaxing sound and peacefulness.
Natural Light
Asian Zen decorating relies on natural light. If your home has large windows and an open floor plan, that’s the ideal celebration of sunlight, but not every home can accommodate that. As an alternative, use floor lamps, table lamps, Japanese lanterns, and candles that will give you small areas of lights with intensities you can control and ambiances you can adjust. In your windows, spotlight incoming sunlight. Hunter Douglas offers some excellent options:
- Luxurious yet simple, Silhouette® Sheer Shades filter light while also giving the space excellent privacy. These shades feature S-shaped vanes that appear to float between sheer external fabrics that preserve your view-through.
- Versatile Luminette® Sheer Shades offer a way to celebrate natural sunlight while still maintaining the privacy level you want for your space. The product’s vertical vanes allow for 180 degrees of movement; they’re attached to sheer fabric that creates a softly filtered light, resulting in a beautiful haven of relaxation. These beauties are great on vertically oriented openings such as walls of glass or sliders.
- With clean lines, beautiful contours, and fluid movement, Pirouette® Sheer Shades are a wonderful alternative to traditional fabric shades. They softly diffuse light while also providing privacy. You can choose from a wide selection of fabrics in semi-opaque and room-darkening opacities, so these treatments work well in almost any space.
