Oriental Decor has been around for thousands of years and has made it’s way around the world. So many cultures now infuse Oriental decor with their own. This decor style is unique and fun if you can pull it off correctly. Here are a few great ideas on how to make Oriental bedroom decor work in your home.
The best to start incorporating Oriental bedroom decor into a room is to paint the walls. A deep red is generally the best color to begin with after that if you want to accent the doors,windows and trim a dark brown or black will contrast great with the red. Once the walls are painted you can hang small black shelves on them in different areas. Since most Oriental decor is simple it is best not to clutter the shelves but to put one item on them as the focal point. A nice vase with a single flower or a picture frame is a good way to start.
Once you have the walls all done you can begin to bring in the furniture. It is a great idea to buy silk sheets and comforters. Especially in gold,black or red maybe even all three together. Silk is a major accent when it comes to oriental bedroom decor. Make the bed look more inviting by adding decorative pillows with oriental writings or drawings.
When it comes to lighting the room try going to your local craft store and looking for rice paper lanterns. They can be purchased separately of on a string of many. It all depends on how much light you are looking for. The Rest of the furniture should be made of dark wood. If you can find dresser and night stands with Oriental designs cut into the wood that is even better. An easy way to add a little fun to your room is to buy a Shoji screen. It can be used to separate the room and is often used in movies as a sexy place to change your clothes.
As i said before Oriental decor has been around for a very long time and there is so many great things you could use in your bedroom if you decide to go with an Oriental bedroom theme. I could never cover all of them on one page these are just the basics. Any room no matter what the theme should fit your personal style and needs.
