Asian Zen style is all about simplicity and harmony as well as a deep connection to nature. Homes following this type of style feature sleek lines, interesting shapes (more circles than squares), and a relaxing atmosphere. The color palette leans toward neutral to maintain serenity and calm, and a sort of minimalism is part of the style.
Bring in Nature
Be sure to use natural elements such as plants, to add color and an outdoor aesthetic. In following Asian Zen style, plant options can include bonsai trees, bamboo, and snake grass. Other great connections to nature include rocks, sand, and gravel. For example, you could include a water feature with pleasantly arranged stones and potentially decorative plants, to provide relaxing sound as a backdrop.
Natural Light
Asian Zen decorating relies heavily on natural light. The best homes to accommodate Asian Zen style are those with large windows and open floor plans because they celebrate sunlight. However, if your home isn’t set up that way, you have other options, including floor lamps, table lamps, Japanese lanterns, and candles—these lighting features allow you to create small areas of lights with intensities you can control. To find good treatments for the windows you do have, look for options that highlight incoming natural light. Hunter Douglas a few products that are rockstars in this arena, including Luminette® Privacy Sheers, which let you celebrate natural sunlight while still maintaining the privacy level you want for your space. You could also choose Pirouette® Window Shadings, which give you great control over softly diffused light, and they are a wonderful alternative to traditional fabric shades. Another option is Silhouette® Window Shadings, which filter light through sheer external fabrics that preserve your view-through for the best of all worlds.
