In Oriental decor, there is always so much color everywhere so brighten up your home with a festive look by adding these bright, happy colors in the form of cushions and pillows. Interior designers love these items because they can brighten up or change the vibe of any room easily.

3. Earthen Pots

Earthen pots can be a great addition to decorating your staircase with cultural touches.

4. Warm colors, light walls

For a bit of the dessert in your home, you can paint your walls light, in warm white or beige colors to emulate the sand. Add decor in warm, sandy colors as well. Use orange, yellow, ocher, red, brown, buttermilk and so on. If you want to extend the look, you can add some African pottery.

5. Wall Art

Consider creating a Japanese ethnic accent wall in your home by hanging a painting of some serene element like a tree or a lake.

To extend this aesthetic, you should use light, natural colors and allow plenty of natural light to enter your rooms.

6. Tropical style

To capture that seaside vibe, you should think about using bold colors, fruity decor, plants as well as shells, blue colors and art that would remind you of the sea.
