Themed interiors are becoming more and more popular today. Moreover, in order to properly arrange a room, it is enough to study the basic principles, laws, determine the basic characteristics of the chosen ethnic direction and follow them step by step. The Chinese style is ideal for people who value harmony, who love nature, who are versed in oriental philosophy.

Chinese-style bedroom is no-frills elegance

To make a Chinese-style bedroom, you can follow the path of the laws of feng shui, observe the traditional color scheme, and also place objects with oriental symbols in the room, the nationality of which would be guessed at first glance. And then the room will not only promote rest and relaxation, but act as a kind of "place of power", that is, fill the owner with the true energies of nature and longevity.

Characteristic features of the style

A popular attribute of the oriental style will help in zoning the bedroom: paper or wooden screens

The primordially Chinese interior is not distinguished by a riot of colors, an abundance of decor items and furniture. He is restrained enough, laconic, not multi-colored. Of the furniture in the room, it is customary to have only a bed, which should stand exclusively in the center, and a small bedside table.

Despite the delicate oriental flavor of the room, modern plasma will not look alien

However, the modernized Chinese style allows for richer imagination and an increase in the number of furniture items. The palette should be in yellow-gold and gray-brown shades. Hieroglyphic inscriptions can be applied to one of the walls and ceiling. And as a decor, arrange figurines of dragons, deities, hang a large fan on the wall, and at the entrance - bells called "wind chime". When choosing finishing materials, bamboo, rattan are welcome, and screens and partitions are used as zoning elements.

Carved wardrobes are a great way to add flavor to your bedroom

Wall, floor, ceiling decoration

Place objects reminiscent of the oriental style on the walls and shelves: fans and paintings, vases and dishes

Modern Chinese bedrooms are distinguished by a sufficient variety of finishes. Moreover, it is worth noting that any ethnic group in design prefers not synthetic, but natural materials. The walls of the room are most often decorated with silk, vinyl, bamboo, grass wallpapers, including photographic wall paintings with a variety of genre sketches. Fragments of wooden panels, skins, partitions in the form of lattices, various panels, even mosaics are also very common.

You can add a bright accent with a Chinese-style installation on the whole wall

If we talk about wallpaper patterns, the Chinese bedroom is usually decorated with floral ornaments, hieroglyphic painting, various combinations of geometric shapes. On the photomurals you can find Chinese sages, geisha, brave warriors and scenes of battles with their participation, mythical creatures, gods and even demons. Skinali - an element of decoration that "migrated" to bedrooms from kitchens, usually occupies only part of the wall, and the drawings have a plant-natural theme, for example, cherry blossoms are often found. The same can be said for partitions and panels, which can be used to decorate walls in fragmentary mode.

An unusual chandelier is sure to bring good luck to your home

Speaking of the ceiling, the choice of finishes will depend on the area of ​​the room and its height. If the room is small and the ceilings are not high, you should stop on a flat suspended, tension or plasterboard structure. If the bedroom has a sufficient number of squares and high ceilings, you can trim them with multi-level structures or wooden beams. Moreover, the latter can be located in a square in the center or strictly along the perimeter. It is possible to form a lattice from the beams into which point lighting elements will be mounted. Interior neon or LED lighting will also look good.

Divide the room into zones: this will not only help save space, but also increase your productivity

But there are few options for decorating the floor in the Chinese bedroom. It can be either natural wood plank, which is usually laid in a deck method, laminate, parquet (wood or bamboo). Linoleum with a pattern imitating mats is also allowed. The floor is usually left without a solid carpet or carpet, but it is customary to lay small mats near the bed, and in the center of the room - a small rug with the image of the sun.

A Chinese-style room is characterized by restraint in colors and in the choice of furniture

General principles of organizing space and decoration

Advice! The space of the Chinese bedroom should be as free as possible, not overloaded, not cluttered with furniture items.

It is better to select furniture so that one pattern is present on several objects at once: on a chandelier, bedspreads, lampshades, carpets

Based on this, the main principles of its organization should be named:

maximum free space;

absolute symmetry;

restraint;

harmony and balance.

Symmetry applies to everything, and above all to furniture. The bed should take center stage. If a bedside table is installed on one side, then exactly the same should be on the other side. For example, you should not place all decorative elements on the same wall: their arrangement should balance each other. And we shouldn't forget that a Chinese-style bedroom can be furnished and decorated according to the laws of feng shui. This can be done based on the photos presented here, as well as on the advice of experienced orientalists.

A low, moderately hard bed made of natural materials is an excellent solution for a Chinese-style room!

note! Despite the fact that the classical Chinese interior does not welcome riot in all its manifestations, the room should still contain elements that determine its ethnicity.

A common option would be to install false ceilings in the bedroom

The Chinese interior is simply impossible to imagine without:

wall fan, silk-embroidered paintings with cranes, sakura, sun in bamboo frames;

figures of dragons, deities, warriors;

bonsai plants, ikebana;

hieroglyphs (beautifully inscribed on the wall, present on curtains, screens, bedding, upholstery);

a small decorative fountain (active);

lanterns hanging from the ceiling, traditional swords, bells;

lamps with corrugated paper lampshades.

Very often on one of the walls of the Chinese bedroom there is a painted installation with symbols traditional for the East: cherry blossoms, bamboo, the sun, hieroglyphs for “love”, “strength”, “health”, “longevity”, “wealth”, a labyrinth. The last symbol is no less important for the Chinese than hieroglyphs and the sun. It can even be painted on the ceiling as a "mirror image" on the floor, and the shelves can be arranged in a maze shape.

In the Chinese tradition, there are several well-established color combinations, any of which can be chosen as the base for the design of the future bedroom. Namely, black with gold (a sign of high social status), green with beige, white with blue, red with orange, brown with yellow. The Chinese color range is vast, so everyone can find something suitable for their inner state.

Chinese style will bring conciseness, calmness and serenity to the bedroom

How to select and arrange furniture

Wall mirrors will visually enlarge a small room

Despite the characteristic "smoothness", "meditativeness" of Eastern philosophy, there are no smooth, rounded, wavy lines in the Chinese interior, furniture structures. Only straight geometry, simplicity without inlays and carvings, the most ascetic designs. But there is one obligatory rule: Chinese furniture in the bedroom should again be made of natural materials (wood with bamboo, rattan elements).

Translucent partitions with an unobtrusive pattern are a stylish detail in the bedroom interior

In the illustrative photos with the names, you can see that the main subject in the bedroom is not only the bed, but also the screens-partitions (often mobile). These can be budget models made of bamboo, or there can be designer creations made of mahogany with ivory decorations. The head of the bed should be high, it can stand on the podium, hidden under a canopy ("imperial" version).

You can save on coffee tables and chairs, because according to the Eastern tradition, you can sit right on the floor

Advice! It's hard to do without a wardrobe in the bedroom. And modern Chinese style allows for coupé designs built into special niches. If additional shelves are required in the room, then they must be open, of an ordinary, even strict geometric shape.

The canopy will help turn the bed into the center of the bedroom

Windows and lighting

In warm climates, instead of a balcony door, you can install a carved wooden partition

The Chinese style is extremely natural, so the window frames, like the doors, in the bedroom should be wooden, and the windows themselves should be as large as possible. Openings can be made in three ways:

blinds made of bamboo or snow-white textile threads;

Roman blinds;

the lightest medium-density curtains, either plain, or duplicating the pattern on the wall, bedding, etc.

Red, black and white are the most popular colors for decorating a Chinese-style room

The interior of a Chinese-style bedroom is very fond of space and light, so the installation of lighting should be as thoughtful as possible. Bright fluorescent lamps, bulky chandeliers will not work here. In the photos that we offer you, you can see that very often such interiors use hidden lighting around the perimeter of the ceiling, point elements that simulate natural lighting, as well as lamps with lampshades in the form of paper lanterns. The color can be different: naturally white, reddish, yellowish, but not necessarily straining the eyes, causing calm and harmonious pacification.
