Oriental Bedroom Decorating Ideas

If you want to add a hint of exotic flair to your master bedroom, why not treat yourself to an oriental themed bedroom delight? This post is going to be looking at all of my favorite accessories and decor for an oriental bedroom, so read on and find some pieces that are perfect for you. 

Oriental Bedding Ideas

There are loads of different types of oriental themed bedding out there, from Thai styles, Japanese sakura styles, and dragon themed Chinese styles. There are so many that I've made a whole separate post featuring my personal favorites, which you can see here. I'll just feature a couple here.

First of all there is the beautiful Chinese style Dragon Jacquard bedding at the top of this post, which comes with a comforter, two pillow shams, two matching cushions, a neckroll and a bed skirt. The bedding on the right is another Chinese style of bedding, the sort of bedding your would expect to see in an Oriental palace! Its a great way to make you feel like royalty at night. It comes with the incredible embroidered comforter, two pillow shams, two decorative pillows and a bed skirt. 

Second, for a more Japanese and minimalist style of bedding, check out the gorgeous Blossom Tree bedding above. Each set comes with a comforter, two pillow shams, three beautiful decorative cushions and a matching bedskirt.

Oriental Wall Decor

Considering painting your walls to match the Oriental theme? The best colors depend on exactly what style you are going for - if you are going for a Japanese style with lots of blossoms and minimalist bedding, white works best, or perhaps a light peach or pink. For a bold Thai or Chinese, deep reds, browns, golds and oranges look fantastic, as well as grays.

Don't leave the walls of your bedroom bare when you are done! There are lots of fun ways to decorate the walls of an oriental themed bedroom, such as the gorgeous screen art painting above or by mounting the pretty paper fan on the left.

If you are going for a Japanese style, you might want to consider sticking up some Sakura blossom themed wall decals, which are easy to install and leave no marks when you remove them. You can also get some lucky kanji (Chinese/Japanese symbol) themed decals with their translations to put up here.

Oriental Themed Furniture

If you aren't on a budget and truly want to go all out, why not treat yourself to some absolutely stunning Oriental themed furniture? For example, take a peek at the bold and deeply colored Powell Red Oriental Two Door Console featured above - it looks simply amazing. 

Oriental Furniture Rush
Grass Storage Chest
Another common style of oriental furniture is the rattan style rush grass look, as exemplified by the simple but effective storage chest featured on the right. You can also get a chest of drawers in this style.

If you prefer more solid furniture, stick to very dark wooden furniture for your bedroom, such as the Furinno Simple Design End Table or the Winsome Wood End Table. This minimalist style of furniture works especially well in a Japanese style bedroom.

Oriental Themed Lightning

Thai Style Blossom Lamp














There are also plenty or oriental themed lights to choose from! A very good option if you are on a budget is to hang up some beautiful paper lanterns like the one featured above on the right - they are very cheap and look amazing. Otherwise, you might want to try out one of the gorgeous Thai style lamps out there, like the one featured above on the left.

Oriental Bedroom Accessories 

Zen Reflections Juniper Bonsai
With all of that done, it is time to add the finishing touches to your bedroom with some fun oriental themed bedroom accessories. Asian style plants are a great option for adding life to a bedroom - why not give a cute miniature bonsai tree like the one featured above a good home?

ORE International Black Plum
Blossom Screen Room Divider
There are also plenty of Asian room dividers out there. My favorite is the Plum Blossom screen on the left, but you can find plenty more different styles here.

Finally, if you have gone for a lot of woven grass style furniture, I recommend checking out this stylish woven grass rug that would match it all perfectly.

So that was my guide to decorating an Oriental style bedroom. I hope you liked my selections and found some bedroom decor which is perfect for your room.

Moving to Japan, the Sakura tree and its beautiful blossoms are an iconic symbol of the east, and I've found this beautiful minimalist Japanese style bedding that really captures its essence. The colors are very simple and easy to coordinate with many bedroom color schemes, which is a plus. In addition, you get a tonne of stuff with every set: a comforter, two pillow shams, three decorative cushions and a matching bedskirt. It's also very popular to pair this bedding with some easy to apply cherry blossom wall decals, so that is definitely something to consider.



3. Elegant Floral Chinese Style Cotton Duvet Cover
Blue & Pink Floral Bedding

I just love the amazing and gentle colors on this pink and blue floral bedding, the name really means it when it calls this bedding 'elegant'. This is a great piece of summer bedding - it is light and cheerful while still bringing in some exotic flair. 

This bedding comes with a matching sheet set, but if you need some spares,  I highly recommend picking it up any way and instead pairing it with baby pink or blue sheets. It will look out of this world regardless!

5. Traditional White and Pink Chinese Bed Set

Got a room full of deep reds, burgundy, browns and blacks? The rich colors and stark design of the Oyuki bedding collection makes it definitely something you should consider if the answer is yes. It comes with a comforter, two pillow shams, two matching cushions, a neck roll and a bed skirt.

Just in case you're curious, that kanji writing on the comforter translates to "Wish Happiness, Good Luck and Good Life." Always a good message to wake up to in the morning, in my opinion anyway. Maybe it'll bring you luck!

9. Sherry Kline China Art Red 6-piece Comforter Set

This is probably what you imagine when you think about the inside of a Chinese palace right? Bold reds contrasting with beautiful golds, with tassel trims as far as the eye can see. Well, there's no need to keep imagining, since you can own your very own set and bring some of that amazing luxury into your home. 

Each of these bedding sets comes with the incredible embroidered comforter, two pillow shams, two decorative pillows and a bed skirt. I recommend pairing it with some matching gold sheets and pillowcases, and maybe even a sheer gold window treatment or bright red curtains. Whatever you choose, it is bound to look stunning.
