Asian Decor & Home Decorating Ideas

June 9th, 2011

Asian home decor has been recognized in the West as one of the most inspiring styles of interior design. Asian decor evokes a sense of serenity and at the same time stirs the soul . The Eastern aesthetic draws on thousands of years of history and is profoundly influenced by religious beliefs based on the ideal of absolute freedom. In Southeast Asia, Buddhism is a major source of inspiration for artistic expression and has produced wonderful works of art.

A few well chosen pieces of Asian art, artefacts or textiles can transform the ambiance of a room, rendering it a place of sanctuary and a respite from the cacophony of the world and its many demands. Unlike factory produced furnishings, Asian art, antiques and artefacts echo age old artistic traditions and have a certain indefinable ‘chi’ or energy that is tacitly felt.
 

Given that we spend much of our life in the home, it’s important to create an interior environment that is soothing and enlivens one’s imagination. A considered investment in Asian home decor can be one of the most rewarding in terms of home decorating. Conversely, it can lead to some of the gaudiest home decor when cheap and tacky decorations are chosen over the genuine article.

Featured below is a small collection of photos featuring art, antiques, tribal artefacts and textiles offered in our gallery.
