Forget the traditional home with the boring couches, beige rugs, and white walls. You want to make things feel different, exotic. When you come home from work you'd like to be transported to another country, feel it's culture emanating from your household. Asian decor can be beautiful and mysterious while also homey and comforting.
Japanese Vs. Chinese
The two Asian countries people immediately consider when crafting an Asian-inspired room are Japan and China. To some, the style may seem one and the same, but the aesthetics are actually quite different; it's most likely you'll lean towards one or the other depending on what style you're representing. Keep in mind there are no strict rules and if you want to mix one piece of furniture that may be more Japanese with a traditional Chinese trinket or accent, by all means do so. Sometimes mixing both can produce surprisingly beautiful results.

Bedroom
The bedroom is one of the most popular rooms to decorate, Asian-furniture wise, especially if you aren't planning on detailing your whole house in the same way. Whether for your own room or a guest room, it can inspire tranquillity in a place where relaxation is key!
Living Room
The living room is another popular pick for reconstructing with an Asian theme. This is the room where you really want to flaunt the awesome furniture, trinkets, and wall hangings for your welcome guests.
Bathroom
Decorating a bathroom in Asian-inspired decor may seem harder than other rooms, but remember, your bathroom doesn't need to be as overly decorated as other rooms. With the right touches here and there, your theme will carry over nicely and won't be lost on any visiting guests.
