How can I make my apartment Asian Modern without going kitsch?

 - by sanford

I’m moving into a new apartment and decorating. And I’d like something like an Asian modern theme, but I want to avoid anything over the top or kitsch. Like I don’t want paper lanterns or geisha statues everywhere. But I would like simple, clean lines, with an urban feel like a modern Tokyo apartment. I’ve got some square dinnerware, and a few metal vases with sprays of cherry blossoms. Any ideas?

how did you pick a color scheme to decorate your house/ apartment?

im looking into getting my first apartment by myself and even though i havent found a place i would like to get some ideas for decorating it so i know how much to save and what things would cost. i have already looked on the Ikea website and found some things that i love but i was just curious how you guys chose color schemes to decorate…is ur house all the same theme or do they vary from room to room?

so far i like : 1. turquoise/aqua, brown and white
2. dark red, burnt orange, brown
3. green,blue and white

what are ur favorite color combos?

how did u intergrate the color scheme with the decoration of the rooms?

thanks :)
