Kyoto was the capitol of classical Japan during the Edo period and was a place of beautiful cherry tree lined avenues and architectural wonders, where people had a deep appreciation for the arts. Haiku Designs is pleased to offer our Kyoto Platform Bed and the Kyoto Nightstand, one of our lines of contemporary bedroom furniture that captures some of the elegant beauty and magic of this classical Edo period.

The Rajah Platform Bed With Storage

When referring to the East or the Orient, most people would think of Japan, China, Korea or areas close to these countries. If you had asked, however, any Europeans in the 1700 and 1800’s to what country they would refer to when mentioning the East, they would have quickly replied to "India" or the "Indian subcontinent." It is to this area that we take our inspiration for our beautiful Rajah Platform as well as the full line of Rajah complimentary bedroom furniture. "Rajah" is Sanskrit for "king" and the term is used in Southeast Asia and India to signify that the bearer of the title is of noble lineage.

Asian Kitchen Design Ideas 2011 from HGTV

This kitchen design is a fine example of my FusionDesign philosophy in practice. It subtly blends contemporary European elements with soothing Asian accents like the glass shoji screen doors and Zen water feature, while offering increased functionality for the American lifestyle.

It's a calm and uncluttered space, and, for an eco-friendly home, interior designer Linda Woodrum would have it no other way. "I wanted an almost Asian feeling that was very clean and not overdone," she explains. The walls, covered in recycled glass mosaic tiles, punctuate the cooking space, which features streamlined espresso-colored cabinetry and sleek stainless-steel hardware and fixtures. Quartz countertops, in a shade of bold black and crafted from recycled material, add a hint of sparkle and continue the green story, as they are naturally antimicrobial as well as mold and heat resistant.

The frosted glass-front cabinets synchronize with the stainless steel backsplash and kitchen hardware.

The design of the kitchen was inspired by the bright orange oven. The asymmetrical arch is an illusion because the two halves don't actually connect.

Your bathroom is a very private place – keep it private with bathroom window curtains. Of course bathroom window curtains can do more than just block out light and peering eyes, they will also add class and style to your bathroom.

This article will give you some tips on how to choose the right curtain for your bathroom window. It doesn’t need to be difficult, but when you are shopping for bathroom curtains there are a few simple things to keep in mind. Watching out for things like privacy, lighting, matching your décor, and the quality of the fabric, will help you to choose the right bathroom curtains.

When you begin shopping for your bathroom curtains remember privacy and lighting. Keep in mind that the curtain you are shopping for is for a bathroom. Unlike other rooms you are more than likely going to want a considerable amount of privacy in your bathroom. Hence there is a need for a curtain with a good amount of coverage.

Asian Bathroom Designs

Behind the glass doors, a Japanese tub and shower make up the wet room. Frosted glass doors parallel the room on the other side to conceal a water closet or toilet room.



In this not so typical Asian-inspired bathroom, a neutral color palate is chosen to evoke a timeless design. Black high lights on the sink vanity accentuate the details in the Asian-themed artwork and wall covering.



Zen Fusion at its finest. The combination of Asian influence with the contemporary lines and products of today creates this spa environment, which features walnut cabinets, Shoji screen doors with metal tile and faux grass cloth walls. A true Japanese-style tub and a large walk-in shower with body sprays and all the works provide the finishing touches.



The master bathroom features a new window treatment using two companion fabrics, superb accessories and wallpaper with a leaf pattern.



A large soaking tub in a Zen-inspired bath was created using earth tone tiling and multi-hued glass tile, clean lines and unique accents. A custom cherry stained cabinet hides the oversized tub equipment and artisan created metal art adds a bit of color and texture to the room.



The high ceilings and large surface area of this bathroom were an inspiration to keep the space minimal. The contemporary style square tub, situated next to full-height windows, was uniquely built into the ground along the same level as the new concrete floors. Asian-inspired accent pieces, including light fixtures, a teak stool and original artwork, keep the feeling Zen-like.
