Any tips to designing a Chinese theme bedroom?

Question

I'm moving to a new home in 3 weeks or so, and this gives me an opportunity to design my room the way I've always wanted. I've always wanted to go for a Chinese themed bedroom, and I'm looking for any tips on how to start with this new project. So If you have any ideas, feel free to tell... Anything from Wall decor, to floors, to furniture is welcome!

Answer 1

Use giant fans to decorate your walls, and look for bamboo and plants. You might even be able to find tapestries or bamboo rattans with Chinese characters on it.

Enjoy your new room!

Answer 2

a traditional chinese themed? or are you looking for an american interpretation of a chinese themed bedroom?

either way...you might want to look in to bamboo materialed/colored things, dark/semi dark wood oriented furniture with oriental design. do not get Bonsai planet, cuz thats japanese. if you're looking into more feminine stuff...try lotus, plum (the flower), and chrysanthemum. for guys...try kirin, dragon (chinese looking ones)...or if you want (tho not necessarily recommended) the chinese horoscope.

chinese people loves the color red, but we use it more on weddings...you might consider that as well. the wall decor, you can look into asian calligraphy styled painting, a fan (hanging)...or perhaps an authentic chinese character sucha as fortune. 2 chairs/stools with a table...small end tables...chinese lantern...ceramic tea set...perhaps incents....all these can be considered as decor :D for windows you can use beads instead of curtains (like the beads yoou hang in the doorway, wooden beads...i hope you know what i'm talking about)

also, google oriental living, or oriental decorating..it'll help. the thing about having a chinese themed bedroom is that you might end up with things that are "oriental themed" but has nothing to do with chinese. you should do a little bit of search just in case :)
