Asian Bathroom Design-01-1 Kindesign

If you are renovating or designing a bathroom, you should contemplateย styling your space withย an Asian inspiredย design, which is very soothing and elegant. These spaces typically showcase traditional Japanese influenced architecture, design and art. Pairedย up with modern and contemporary decor, bathrooms in this style can be ultra luxurious and extremely relaxing. A traditional Asian style bathroom incorporates plenty of natural materials into the design. Specifically, wood and stone are utilized interchangeably for surfaces such as flooring, and sink tops and can draw the outside in through the use of untreated wood and rough-hewn or matte stone. Additional outdoor elements that can be incorporated into your design scheme includes fountains, rock gardens, ferns, orchids and other natural elements.

Furnishings are typically comprised of high-quality hardwoods, usually left unfinished or stained to enrich the natural appearance of the wood. Furniture is incorporated to anchor the design style, such as dressing tables, benches and chairs. Shoji and other screens are also a common componentย applied not only as a decorative element, but also for privacy. These thin, wood-framed design pieces can help to delineate areas in the bathroom and are effortlesslyย portable. The screens have a light and airy design thatย balances well with the bulkierย designย elements consisting of stone or wood in the sinks, countertops and tubs. The screens may also showcase intricately printed designs that depicts historical interpretations of Japaneseย culture, flora and fauna or even landscapes.

To add softness to the design, flowing curves in sinks and tubs helps to counterbalanceย hard-edgedย furnishings, countertops and pedestals for sinks and tubs. Basin or bowl-shaped bathtubs in Asian influencedย bathrooms are typically crafted from wood, porcelain or metal, asserting bold, wave-like curves and substantialย design. Bathroom sinks are comprised of materials such as wood, porcelain, glass or even metal, and typically emulateย a similar fluid, curvaceous design. This sleek yet relaxing design styleย for theย bathroom fixtures creates a beautifulย contrast to rough-hewn surfaces and bulkier designs applied to the countertops, flooring and potted plants.

One of the principle elements of Asian style bathroom design is creating an open flow from one area of the space to the next. To create this aesthetic, you should consider using screens or pony walls (half walls) to delineate the space, or design with glass instead of a full wall to visually connect yet segmentย spaces. A glass-enclosed shower can help to keep the space feeling open and airy, completing the look ofย an Asian style bathroom. All in all, your space should reflect a clean lined aesthetic with minimalist decor, a soothing color scheme and natural materials.
