In my personal opinion, an Oriental design for your home is the best one in terms of relaxation and good vibes. Here are the characteristics your home need to have to accomplish with the oriental style design.
First of all, you need to know where it comes from, Oriental, or Asian design most commonly refers to styles from China and Japan, though it also includes styles from Thailand, Korea, Vietnam and other Eastern countries. The look includes anything from sleek-styled furniture with low profiles, the nature-inspired elements that create a Zen calm in the space, to rooms filled with the vibrant, rich colors found in Chinese lanterns. Oriental design is rich in history and tradition. One of the more common looks in Oriental design, Zen style, taking cues from the reflective mediation practices and art forms of Zen Buddhism, is characterized by clean, straight lines and an uncluttered feel that create balance and harmony. Natural elements and simple furnishings feature prominently in this design. Zen design uses mostly neutral colors in an earthy palette to evoke feng-shui type elements, such as water or stone, resulting in a sleek, modern appearance. A Zen-like room might contain bare wood floors, woven tatami or grass mats, low-profile furniture with smooth lines and hidden storage to minimize clutter.
Another common theme in Oriental design is the bold use of rich colors. Combined with silk fabrics and natural and painted woods, these Asian-influenced bold colors create an exotic feel. Bamboo and rattan are as common as wood. Patterns typically highlight birds and flowers, either in very realistic detail, or else highly stylized and colored.
Is a lot more to explore and learn about this elegant style, that I will spend all my life talking about it! The most important thing you need to have this style is the interest to achieve all the knowledge it comes with it.
