Going Oriental with Platform Beds

One of the most popular styles of decorating now is Asian. Many people love to have a Japanese or Chinese feel in their house, and it’s no wonder why: the East has been creating beautiful decorations and designs for longer than most of the West has been around, which means that they’ve had plenty of time to perfect their designs. Platform Beds are one way to bring an Eastern feel into your home without spending a lot of money, or a lot of thought about your decoration. You can find a platform bed at almost any good furniture manufacturer, as they’ve become very popular, but selecting the right platform bed will make the difference between making your bedroom look nice, and making it have an oriental feel.

When you’re looking for an Oriental feel, look for smooth, solid lines. The swoops and curves in Oriental decoration are usually very gentle, and are not bold at all, so gentle curves are allowed. Darker colors are often mixed in with brighter colors, to make a very strong statement. It is possible to have a foot board on a wooden platform bed while maintaining Oriental feel, but one without a foot board will give you the feel more easily than selecting one that has the right dimensions and moves to it. One such beautiful bed is the Kyoto Bed by Fashion Bed Group.

Once you’ve browsed through platform beds and selected one that has an oriental feel to it, you can then add some color and other decor to your bedroom to further the feel.  While you may be tempted to go towards the typical Japanese and Chinese décor, try using something more unique. For instance, instead of buying jade statues, look for paintings that incorporate jade in them and that have an Eastern feel. Added to your Oriental Platform Bed, you will find that you are easily able to transform your bedroom into an Eastern oasis.
