A Taste of the Orient

There is a growing trend in ethnic influences on our home, in particular the bathroom. One of the most popular options is the Far East. With a culture steeped in ease and comfort, this needs to be reflected in your decorating.

Oriental Bathroom

We’ve comprised some tips on how you can create an oriental space in your home.

Simplicity Oriental Bathroom

A faithfulness to simplicity is paramount to succeeding in this trend. Focusing on how the space is utilised is more important for an authentic oriental inspired bathroom. Minimalism and cleanliness create a zen-like room that exudes peacefulness – something that we all want in our bathroom space. To achieve the simple look – use very little furniture necessary to the bathroom.

Oriental Bathroom - Dark Wood

Incorporate natural textures in your bathroom that reflect the elements of the earth – such as grass cloth, rice paper, stone and wooden furniture. The growing influence of this trend has allowed for dark, rich wooden floors and fittings to come back into fashion.

Neutral shades (white, off-white, beige and yellow) partnered with splashes of black creates a harmony that represents purity and promote tranquility. If you want to include colour, use limited amounts on singular items.

Oriental Bathroom - Blinds

For window covering, shades are a favourite because they are elegant yet simple. Another option is sheer curtains, which keep the room feeling uncluttered.

Oriental Bathroom - Accessories

Purchase accessories, from shower curtains to soap dispensers, that enhance the oriental theme. Make sure that items match to keep consistency in the bathroom. Asian symbols and writing are welcome also. Balance is an important part of oriental cultures so arrange items in your bathroom with a sense of symmetry in mind. We love this practical storage ladder for airing towels.

Follow these simple tips and you can create a calming atmosphere for your bathroom that has a taste of the Orient.
