How to Make Your Room Look Asian

Reduce clutter in the room. Remove stacks of books or magazines, small unused furniture pieces and knickknacks. Store items in plastic containers and place them under the bed or in a closet. Creating an Asian feel to a space requires using basic items without a hodgepodge of personal belongings littering the room.

Paint the walls in subtle earth tones such as light brown or dark green. The calming colors help create your relaxing oasis.

Install hardwood flooring or stain a wood floor a darker color to anchor the room. Scatter bamboo rugs throughout the area.

Place small bamboo plants in decorative bowls on end tables to add a hint of nature to the space. Set larger bamboo plants in corners.

Conceal items behind an Asian silk screen. The tall screen offers Asian flair while discreetly hiding items you may need in the room but do not want displayed.

Hang bamboo blinds over windows. The earth tones of the blinds complement the darker shadings of the walls and flooring.

Hang round, red Chinese lanterns from the ceiling. The red tones add a splash of color and incorporate Chinese influence in an Asian room. Add red Chinese pillows to furniture or display them on a bed.

Put a small water fountain in a corner of the room or a tabletop fountain on an end table or coffee table. The sound of trickling water further adds to the relaxing atmosphere of an Asian room.
