Inspiration for Living: Asian-Influenced Design in Your Whole Home Remodel

Our designers are seeing increased interest in Asian-inspired themes for whole home remodels, kitchen design and custom bathroom design. Sometimes thought of as “Zen” design, Asian-inspired design celebrates simplicity, clean lines, sophisticated color choices and elements of nature. If you have been inspired by Asian-influenced designs during your travels or while collecting art and would like to express your affinity for Asian themes in your home, our professional designers can help you with design decisions that makes sense for the function and aesthetics of your home. Here are some elements of Asian-inspired design to consider:

Visual Cues:
The levered lighting, Shoji-style vanity doors, and rustic mirror in the nationally award-winning powder room shown above immediately signal an appreciation for Asian materials and shapes, further defined by the dramatic dark glitter of the tile wall.

Functionality:
The unfolding Shoji-style door in this bathroom establishes an Asian-influence that is at once tranquil, visually appealing and functional. Clean, simple lines and tiles carefully placed to evoke peaceful rainfall are inspired by Asian design.

Natural Materials:
In this Rustic Zen kitchen, the gleaming backsplash of black granite creates a subtle impression of falling water while natural stacked stone surrounds the ovens. These sophisticated design choices pay tribute to the Asian-influenced tradition of incorporating elements of water and earth into home design.

Finding creative ways to express your personal style is one of the most enjoyable aspects of your whole home remodel. Working with a unified team of architects, designers and construction professionals, you can discover inspiration from all over the world and bring it home to your own environment!
