People seeking to get a little more of that Zen spirit have taken to decorating their homes in Asian style. When selecting Asian wall decorations, you should generally stick to using a few dominant colors and clean lines.
Color
Chinese colors are bold and present a visual representation of Chinese life and culture, according to the website “Themed Home Decor.” When selecting paint colors with which to decorate their walls, homeowners should gravitate toward red, yellow, green and purple. For example, a Chinese red or jade green wall makes a dramatic backdrop for art that’s hung on the wall.
Art Options
Asian items like Chinese brush scrolls, decorative chopsticks, Asian relief masks of carved jade, photos of Buddhist monks, and relief sculptures of Asian writing all work well as Asian wall decorations. Homeowners should use these items sparingly because, generally speaking, Asian homes are not cluttered.
Considerations
Wall art almost disappears without good lighting. In an Asian-style room, homeowners should gravitate toward the soft lighting of Asian lanterns. Hung close to the wall, they’ll cast a soft, natural light on the wall decor and fit in with the decor style.
