Asian Home Decor Ideas

The design world is rediscovering Asia and its ageless, classic design styles. Discover for yourself the beauty of combining Chinese furniture, art, and home decor accessories into your contemporary, traditional, or eclectic home and office design.

In this how-to or do-it-yourself (DYI) article, I use Asian and Chinese interchangeably, as China has traditionally dominated design style and furniture, but I fully appreciate that all Asian countries contribute their unique style and traditions.

An additional benefit of investigating Asian style home decor will be that you will discover the endless possibilities that each culture and tradition offers to each of us. Not only in designing our living spaces but also in the manner and way in which we see ourselves, each other, and our world.

Bronte House

Designed by Chenchow Little Architects, this semi-detached house conceals its historical origins and suburban situation. Initially built at the end of the 19th Century, one of the few original remaining features are the sandstone walls at ground level. ‘Simply remodeling the house wouldn’t have given our clients what they wanted,’ says architect Tony Chenchow, a director of the practice.

The site, in Sydney’s beachside suburb of Bronte, slopes down dramatically towards the Pacific Ocean. ‘We wanted to embrace the view, but the original Arts & Crafts style home wouldn’t have allowed us to achieve this,’ says Chenchow. A contemporary first floor addition was ‘grafted’ to the house. Constructed in steel, glass, fibro-cement and encased with aluminium louvers, the first floor cantilevers above the original sandstone walls.
