The oriental look is simple and basic.
The primary concern of oriental decorating is faithfulness to simplicity. This type of decorating lends itself to reflect many oriental cultures through ease and comfort. The key to creating an authentic oriental-inspired bathroom is to focus less on things and more on how the space is utilized. Minimalist and clean, the oriental bathroom is basic and peaceful.
Instructions
1. Decorate simplicity in mind. A simple look means clean lines and clutter free. This also means that the bathroom will have fewer accessories than most. Use very little furniture and only display items you need while in the bathroom.
2. Incorporate natural designs and textures in your bathroom. Include items reflecting the natural elements of the earth, such as water pools, fountains, plants or wooden furniture. Harmony with nature is important in oriental cultures, so bringing it indoors enhances the overall feel of the bathroom. Grass cloth, rice paper, stone and wicker are textures you can bring into your bathroom to give it an authentic feel. Avoid ornate or elaborate objects with this style.
3. Use neutral colors and shades for your bathroom. White, off-white, shades of beige and yellow represent purity and promote tranquility. Use them for countertops, basins, towels, vases and pictures. Add pops of black to create a sense of harmony in your bathroom. Use limited amounts of bright colors on singular items.
