An oriental bedroom with very contemporary colors
Oriental decoration gives pride of place to colors: yellow, red, green or blue come in vibrant shades. Is that precisely what appeals to you? Choose current shades first. The other trick for creating a contemporary atmosphere is to keep a light hand on prints, and not to hesitate to favor stylized elements.
In this room with a modern oriental look, we opted for a very current blue, which creates a bright contrast with the white ceiling. Combining clean lines and a trendy cognac color, the headboard sets the scene, and the embroidered bedspread accentuates the oriental character of the room. If the wall of frames has touches of gold, care has been taken to favor mottled models. The gold color is therefore patinated, for a precious spirit, without being flashy.
Canon, this headboard painted on the wall! We love its stylized lines, and the way it extends to draw a base. This decor with rich colors is an undeniable eye-catcher. To leave it the spotlight, we opted here for modern minimalist furniture, preferring notes of gilded brass to an overly exuberant gold.
Tiles have long been confined to the kitchen or the bathroom. However, it is quite possible to adopt the tiles in the bedroom – especially if you want to give it an oriental character. Here, it dresses the headboard. It is associated with a terracotta color, which is one of the key shades of the year. We love the design of the arches on the doors of the built-in cupboards, which bring softness and personality to a room that was originally very classic.
Want colors, but afraid of missing out? Think of rugs – valuable allies for introducing color into the bedroom without using paint. Not only do they dress the floor, but also the wall. In this room dominated by white, they decline a shades of warm colors for a warm atmosphere, without being stuffy.
The big color trend of the moment is monochrome decoration. Declining a single color on the wall and in the decor is a demanding choice, but which brings a resolutely contemporary touch to the oriental bedroom. We melt for the choice of pink beige (or nude): between neutral color and color, this shade is both sober and refined.
The bright oriental bedroom
To modernize the oriental bedroom, don’t hesitate to be daring and play with codes, by purely and simply eliminating color. Prefer luminous neutrals, in order to create a zen atmosphere. And in such a sober setting, the artisanal pieces in metal or carved wood take on a particular relief.
Timeless, white remains a safe bet for visually enlarging a small bedroom. To create an oriental spirit, we focus here on textiles: carpets, wall hangings, and curtains. We like the choice of black and white, which gives a nomadic character to the decor. We love the choice of a plain hanging and simple graphic patterns. Between tradition and a contemporary minimalist spirit, this room has it all.
Taupe gray that softens the brightness, contemporary bed and modern bedside tables, wide pendant lights with a minimalist design: this modern bedroom is distinguished by its elegant sobriety. In this very refined decor, you can safely dare the XXL headboard in carved wood. A strong piece, enough to give an oriental look to the decor.
Very chic minimalist inspiration for this bright oriental bedroom. In this extremely refined decor, we focus on the canopy and the cushions to create an intimate and cocooning space. The idea to swipe is the choice of second-hand and diverted furniture: stools as a bedside table and bed bench, console and wooden mirror as a dressing table.
To create a modern and chic oriental parental suite, we think of creating a very chill corner. This is an opportunity to try your hand at mix and match, for example by combining an armchair or a padded reading lamp with poufs with a traditional look. Lighting and furniture: metal brings a precious touch to the decor. We are thinking of playing with the finishes, for example by adopting hammered metal.
Traditionally associated with the exotic bedroom or the bohemian bedroom, the jute rug brings a very natural little twist here.
The main pitfall to avoid in oriental decor is visual overload. The carved headboard or wardrobe may be too massive in a small bedroom. Then bet on a tadelakt-type coating or on a lime paint, which immediately give a traditional spirit to the decor. On the furniture side, opt for compact and low pieces: end of sofa diverted in bedside, or sculpted chest.
