How to decorate your home in a Southeast Asian style
It’s possible that after a vacation to Thailand, Indonesia, or Bali, you’ll wish to revamp your house furnishings in order to recreate the beautiful vibe of that enchanting location.
Or maybe you’re just a decorator looking for basic but effective ideas for your home. In short, South East Asia can be a great example of eclectic style to utilize in your home and a beautiful example to follow for individuals who wish to add a touch of freshness to their regular home’s rooms.
You will need the following
- live edge dining table made of acacia, monkey pods, or ebony
- Chairs made of rattan
- Colonial style bed
- Canopy
- Sarong curtains
- Ceiling fan
- Bowls made of ebony wood
- Baskets made of wicker
- Masks made of wood (to hang on the walls)
The surroundings
The main characteristics of a South East Asian house are the spacious rooms, which resemble high-ceilinged pavilions, in order to provide natural ventilation and illumination to the domestic spaces, sometimes with a view and direct access to the garden or, in any event, to green areas in the back of the house. In essence, these are basic but attractive and comfortable surroundings that emphasize natural materials, handcrafted details, gentle curves, and tropical but subtle colors.
Colors
As a result, the colors to be utilized must be carefully chosen, as they are closely associated with “tropical” art in Southeast Asia. In this regard, a trendy setting should always be organized using light colors and neutral shades. Especially when it comes to the walls, where you may go from pristine white (which is a requirement) to sand hue, passing through the always fascinating and fitting light green or brown. All of the hues chosen are chrome plating, which wonderfully reflects the natural colors that dominate this beautiful region of the world.
Furniture
Give high priority to low-profile, non-bulky furniture, ideally modular. Thailand and Indonesia are two of the world’s major producers of exotic furniture, which is distinguished by hand-carved, live edge designs in dark woods such as acacia, monkey pod, macassar ebony, teak, and mahogany, frequently by talented craftsmen who create pieces of furniture that will last for centuries. A traditional Asian wood slab table with rattan chairs and a rattan egg swing to hang from the ceiling or in the yard are two pieces of furniture that should not be overlooked while arranging the living room. Seats of wicker in the living room, a big bed on a raised platform in the bedroom, potentially with a canopy (very colonial), modular drawers, and ceiling fans. In any case, use components with clear, soft lines to avoid overcrowding the room.
The resources
In terms of materials, you favor natural fibers such as rattan, bamboo, and braided water hyacinth, in addition to dark wood (ebony, teak, and mahogany). We propose teak or rattan in PVC (more durable) for outdoor use because the furnishings are exposed to harsh weather and temperature variations. Stone, paper, clay, and ceramic are all natural materials that can be incorporated into your furniture in a variety of ways, including walls, support surfaces, worktops, and details.
The finishing touches
Comfortable cushions, sarong fabric curtains and tablecloths, empty wooden birdcages, bamboo barriers, candle holders in plenty, mahogany bowls, wicker baskets, and floating shaped candles of frangipani are all permitted, provided that any unnecessary feature is removed.
The ornaments
Still, among the accessories to be utilized for wall and furniture decoration, the distinctive Balinese and Thai wooden masks, one of the unique products of local artisans, deserve special notice.
