Contemporary Zen
East meets West in the new design style we’re calling Contemporary Zen. By pairing trendy pieces with Asian-inspired accents, you’ll achieve a unique look that’s in vogue and incredibly zen at once. Don’t think these aesthetics mix? You’ll be surprised. Check out our picks from the Houzz Shop to see just how well they work.

ContemporaryTo counterbalance the Asian-inspired pieces in your space, look for contemporary items that are bright or statement-making. It’s the contrast in styles that makes this aesthetic work so don’t shy away from bold pieces. Because your zen-like decor will be very grounding, your other furniture and accessories can take center stage and make some noise. We love blending bright colors with the mute tones of our Eastern-inspired picks and showcasing the same pattern in both styles side-by-side (think cherry blossoms paired with oversized blooms).
Asian InfluenceThey key to pulling off this style is choosing subtly Asian-inspired pieces. Look for items that nod to Eastern culture with their patterns or shapes. Stick to just one large piece of furniture from this category and then incorporate decor around the space. Avoid anything over-the-top—you’re going for an Asian influence to help create a dynamic, unique space that has a touch of zen and a whole lot of style.
