Silhouette® Window Shadings

In interior decorating, you can find any number of style types, from mid-century modern to contemporary to traditional and more. The style you might like the best for your home depends on your personal tastes and interests. If you tend toward ideas of harmony and tranquility, you might be interested in finding out more about Asian Zen style. At F&R Interiors serving the greater Los Angeles area, we’ll be happy to help you determine how to shape your home to have an Asian Zen style. Read on for some ideas.

Focus on Simplicity

Minimalistic in philosophy, Asian Zen style is all about harmony combined with a deep connection to the outdoors. It’s characterized by sleek lines, interesting shapes (circles more than squares), and a balanced, relaxing atmosphere. The color palette is mostly neutrals that help maintain the serene vibes, and tranquility is an important byproduct of the style. To create your zone of serenity, select neutral and natural colors, including a base of white, gray, or beige, with bolder accents like green, yellow, orange, and blue.

Bring the Peace

Add elements of nature, like plants, to add color and a peaceful outdoor aesthetic. Live plants are great, but be sure to select ones that aren’t high maintenance, such as bonsai trees, snake grass, and bamboo. Nature can also be evoked through rocks, sand, and gravel, including in Zen raking boards. Consider adding a water feature made from pleasantly arranged stones, to provide relaxing sounds in your space.

Highlight the Beauty of Light

In Asian Zen decorating, natural light is one of the highlights. You can create small areas of light through floor lamps, table lamps, Japanese lanterns, and candles, so that can control the intensity and the ambiance. To celebrate natural sunlight, cover your windows in products that gently diffuse light and allow view-through to the outdoors. Hunter Douglas offers a variety of products, including:

  • Silhouette® Window Shadings. Luxurious yet simple, Silhouette shadings filter light while providing great privacy. They feature S-shaped vanes that appear to float in elegant style while the sheer external fabrics preserve your view-through for the best of all worlds.
  • Luminette® Privacy Sheers. This versatile product offers a way to celebrate natural sunlight while still maintaining the privacy level you want for your space. Vertical vanes are attached to sheer fabric that creates a softly filtered light, resulting in a beautiful haven of relaxation.
  • Pirouette® Window Shadings. With clean lines, beautiful contours, and fluid movement, these shades are a wonderful alternative to traditional fabric shades. They give you great control over softly diffused light, and they offer the privacy levels you want.
