Here’s a helpful guide to help you achieve the bedroom of your dreams: 10 Steps To Zen Chinese Bedroom Decor Of Your Dreams. This is an exceptionally well-written guide that will teach you everything you need to know about creating a space that is uniquely yours. With step-by-step instructions, this article will walk you through the process of setting up your bedroom with tips and tricks on how to create an Oriental themed room.
Step 1: Decide on a theme.
Do you want to create an Oriental bedroom, or do you want to do something more unique, like design a beach-themed bedroom? A themed room can be either good or bad. You can have one that is incredible and has everything you love about your favorite movie about China. Alternatively, you can have one that consists of completely random items that don’t match at all. Whatever your choice is, choosing the right theme is important as it will determine how you decorate your room later on.
Step 2: Begin by purchasing items from Oriental stores
You can find them in major malls nationwide such as China Town Mall and Chinatown Mall. Keep in mind that Oriental items can be expensive so only purchase what you need. To save money, you can try out a thrift shop if your local neighborhood has one. Just make sure to check the condition so that you don’t end up buying something that is broken or torn.
Step 3: Choose a bed.
Here are some Oriental themed beds that you can purchase:
A Song Dynasty Bed . These beds are typically made of wood and have carved designs on their headboards. They usually feature Chinese style paintings on them, such as Chinese warriors riding horses and mermaids riding dragons like in the one seen above.
The Lotus Flower Bed . This bed is a common type of bed in Oriental themed rooms. It’s a simple bed that consists of four legs and a futon style mattress on top and underneath it.
The Dragon Bed . This type of bed features overhangs at the headboard and footboard, which will make your room appear like you’re living in an ancient Chinese building.
Step 4: Decide on your color scheme.
Before decorating your room, decide what colors you want to use so that you can help the items you purchase fit your color palette. You can choose one or more of these three colors: red, blue, gold, silver or orange/yellow.
This bedroom design was decorate with red as the primary color. As you can see, most of the items in the room are red. However, there is also some gold and orange. You can use this particular color scheme if you want a room that feels like a fire or lava is on the floor and walls.
Step 5: Hang Chinese lanterns and Chinese paintings.
If you have an Oriental themed room, you can hang some Chinese lanterns and Chinese paintings in your area. There are popular stores which sell these items in the Philippines. If you have a friend who is familiar with Oriental things, you can ask them to tell you what kind of lanterns they like or which works best for your bedroom.
Step 6: Add some Oriental accessories on your bed.
You can either use a red or gold coverlet or a blue futon. If you want to use a coverlet, you can choose one that has dragons and Chinese warriors on it like this one seen above. If you would rather have blue as the primary color of your room, then you can choose a blue futon instead. Just make sure that the color of your futon matches the paint of your room and the theme of your room.
Step 7: Place your bedside table.
Normally, Oriental themed bedrooms have a bedside table with two stools behind it. If you’re planning on doing that for your bedroom, then make sure to place them correctly because they are supposed to be placed in front of the entrance.
Step 8: Decide if you want to add a drawer or not.
In some Oriental themed bedrooms, the bedside table has a drawer while in others it doesn’t. Either way works fine, just make sure that you choose what will look best in your room and what you’ll be most comfortable with using day to day.
Step 9: Place your chair or sofa below the window.
Unlike Western themed rooms, Oriental themed bedrooms do not have a bed directly below the window. Instead of doing that, you can place a chair or sofa below the window and add something made out of glass on top of it to make it look like your furniture is floating.
Step 10: Place your ceiling light in the center.
Your ceiling light is supposed to be placed in the center so that it illuminates the entire room. It should be in a position where it will not block any of your small items from view, such as placing it above the entrance or on top of a bookcase.
Conclusion:
Chinese furniture can be purchased at a variety of stores, online and offline. The suggestions above will help you create an Oriental room that is unique to you. I hope that these steps have been helpful and that you are able to create the bedroom of your dreams. Remember, creating an Oriental room is not easy so if it seems too hard for you, then don’t bother doing it and just buy some furniture at a store instead.
