Asian decor has sophistication and simplicity, and this is a
theme that works great in a bathroom. You want the Asian look in your bathroom
but you don't know where to get inspiration from. Read some interior design
magazines to learn about what constitutes Asian decor and you can also talk
with people who incorporated this style in their bathrooms.
When you're buying cabinets for the Japanese themed
bathroom, stick with dark colored ones that do not have a lot of fancy
stenciling or other designs on it since simplicity is essential in Japanese
bathroom design. As for the lighting, there are not many restrictions although
it would be a good idea to install focused task lighting in the house. When
painting the walls you would stick to neutral tones for a more relaxing tone to
this themed bathroom. Accessorize the room with a glass vase and fill it with
green plant leaves or bamboo shoots.
Incorporate A Large Deep Tub
In Japan, the bathtub is deeper and is separate from the
other sections of the bathroom. To be authentic to Japanese tradition in
bathroom design, don't have the toilet and changing area in the same room as
the bathtub. Instead the toilet and vanity could be placed in another section
of the bathroom and divided by a room partition. The main activity in tub
within Japanese culture is to primarily soak and this is why the washing is
done in a separate area.
Add Some Orange and Red To The Bathroom
Add Some Orange and Red To The Bathroom
While Japanese bathroom design does not make use of bold
colors, other countries in Asia mat incorporate these colors into their
bathroom design. You can paint the wall a deep red and then place a vase filled
with orange and green flowers next to the toilet. Also put up some traditional Asian artwork on
the walls.
Bamboo Flooring
Since bamboo is native to Asia, bamboo flooring is ideal for
an Asian themed bathroom. This flooring is durable and Eco-friendly, and it
comes in a variety of shades. Bamboo flooring is also inexpensive but if you are
not able to find bamboo flooring where you are, use laminate flooring or
ceramic tile flooring.
Use Teak Wood Accessories
Teak wood has a simple elegance that makes for good decor in
an Asian themed bathroom and you can put some small teak wood accessories on
the shelf in the bathroom and another idea is to install a teak wood medicine
cabinet above the bathroom vanity.
Conclusion
The reason some people like Asian themed bathrooms is
because they're not cluttered and they look calming and classy at the same
time. You don't have to break the bank in order to renovate the bathroom in
this style because the Internet has plenty of retailers that sell what you need
to pull it off at affordable prices. Finally, this style comes with low
maintenance and this is always good for busy families who struggle with trying
to maintain cleanliness in the home.
