If you are going to decorate a room with an Asian theme, you will need to pay attention to any accessories that you place in the room. Whilst for the most part these accessories should be of metal and glass, but they can also be fabrics. Silk curtain fabric is ideal for bedroom curtains as they'll provide a soft look which is practical, yet gentle on the eye.

If you need privacy blackout curtains are a good idea and even lightweight curtains can have blackout linings added – however, you will lose the billowy, floaty effect. Try using tab top curtains to hang from a bed frame; these won't be a 'proper' mosquito net but it will give you a feeling of hot sultry nights!

If you place mirrors in your room, you will find that this will create a sense of openness and at the same time will bring in more light. If you want to bring in positive energy you will be able to do this by using such charms as the laughing Buddha and you also might like to think about a Chinese dragon or even cheap table lamps with an Asian theme.
