Eastern tastefulness – the solution for decorating small and large spaces

Oriental-style décor is challenging to design. In order to avoid gross mistakes, it’s worth doing some research before we begin decorating. The style itself is very expressive. It features a lot of dark and vivid colours as well as gold. If you don’t want your room to feel fussy, it’s better to start with a single decorative element, e.g. on a wall. An oriental-style wall mural can quickly transform your bedroom into a veritable work of art.

A bedroom dominated by dark colours doesn’t necessarily have to feel dreary. The Asian aesthetics often take advantage of darker shades. We recommend using such designs on a single wall – e.g. behind the bed. It’s a simple solution that will instantly fill your interior with the unique style known e.g. from Bollywood films. Many interior designers love using the motifs of exotic leaves, flowers and animals to make the rooms a bit wilder.

If you want to enhance the elegance of the décor, you may pair the mural with a few fitting accessories. Since one of your walls will be dark and expressive, the rest of the room should feature light, neutral colours, such as white, grey or brown. The oriental style is known for its use of paper lamps and wicker. After all, these natural materials, together with rattan, were the staple of interior design in the colonial era! In an Indian-style bedroom, you should also introduce a few gold and silver elements but, as established before, the line between elegance and kitsch is very thin, so be moderate!

By using darker colours on one of your walls, you influence the perception of space so that the interior will seem optically larger. Thanks to that decorative restraint, the space won’t be overwhelmed. Just the opposite – it will feel light and pleasant, like the Festival of Colours. Asian designs, especially those inspired by the cultures of India and Turkey, are all about exoticism, so they go very well with all kinds of accessories referencing the wilderness – figurines of tigers, crocodiles or even forgotten ancient structures that remain stunningly beautiful even after thousands of years. Spread those details evenly across the room to make it more intriguing and thematically cohesive. If used correctly, the oriental style of decoration can make your home stylish and tasteful!
