Ethnic Asian style bears direct influences from cultural and geographical periods from the Far East. Design elements are inspired from Japan, China, Vietnam, and Thailand. It is marked by local artisanship, the use of natural fibre elements such as bamboo and colours inspired by naturalistic powdered hues contrasted with dark furniture and oriental floral patterns. If you chance upon this style, you are likely to find a Tibetan Thangka mural or scroll above a sofa, accented with Indonesian Ikat cushions. Tranquillity and balance just like Ying Yang govern such surroundings. You may hear the sound of flowing water accompanied with stylish hanging lanterns and scented candles.

Ethnic Asian Living Room

The Discern Design team wanted to create an urban space inspired by Ethnic Asian Decor. It is a space inspired by artefacts that have a deep Asian origin. In order to maintain the simplicity that comes with the style, large pieces of furniture and decor accents were used. Asian furniture has always been an ardent supporter of Rosewoods. The Asian style dates back to the far east during the 6th century when the Tang Dynasty popularised the use of Rosewood furniture. The style was furthered by the Ming and the Ging dynasty in the centuries that followed.

The wall is the focal point in the room. It breaks the monotony and adds a splash of character. With this as the starting point, a method of layering was implemented. The wall was layered with contrasting mirrors while the room was flanked with tables, sideboards and sofa. All the materials and decor products were carefully picked to resonate the Asian ethos in the room while keeping the shell modern and contemporary. It’s amazing how a few signature pieces such as the floral rug transformed the room. The plants allows for that zen feeling in the space.

We urge you to go ahead and try incorporating this style to add some peace and tranquility to your life!
