Creating Zen Oriental Home: The Beauty of Blank Space and the Philosophy of Life
Oriental home aesthetics: less is more
Different from piled up complex decorations, Oriental homes pay attention to leaving space-using restrained elements and clean space to create a peaceful and long-term atmosphere. This aesthetics coincides with the current popular minimalist style, but it adds a cultural heritage and a sense of healing. It is not about emptying the home, but making everything worthwhile and giving your eyes a place to place.
Three key points to create a Zen space
- white space--You don't have to fill every corner. Appropriate emptiness is a kind of beauty in itself and makes breathing smoother.
- natural materials--Ceramics, bamboo and wood, silk, stone, cotton and linen fill the home with a warm natural atmosphere rather than an industrial cold texture.
- The finishing touch of objects--A blue and white vase, a stove of fragrance, and an embroidery are better than ten pieces of messy decoration. The key is the few and the essence.
Use color and light to set the tone
Oriental space prefers low-saturated neutral colors: rice white, ochre, ink black, celadon green, and embellished with a little cinnabar or gold. The light should be soft but not hard. Yarn curtains, paper lamps, and warm color light sources can make the space more warm. Avoid too much strong contrast and dazzling colors, and return the whole situation to a quiet tone.
A few oriental artifacts change the entire space
Put a blue and white porcelain bottle on the porch with a simple and elegant branch; light a stove of incense on the desk to calm down your thoughts; put an embroidered silk scarf on the sofa to add a touch of oriental color; spread cotton and linen on the tea mat, and match it with a cover bowl, you will have a corner to stay. Small changes can make your home look completely new and slow you down the moment you go home.
From space to attitude towards life
The core of Zen Oriental Home is not a certain style, but an attitude towards life: slow down, calm down, and treat yourself and space well. It reminds us that home is not a display case, but a place to place your mind and mind. In the noisy world, leaving peace for yourself is more important than having more.
