    Asian style decorating is today amongst the most popular trends in context of home décor. People find it very hard to get this look. The reason is not that it requires too much decoration or changes, but the fact that people fail to understand that Asian style kitchen décor is all about simplicity. Infact, it is this minimalism and unfussiness of the decorating style that makes it look so appealing and different. If you still haven’t understood the concept of Asian style decorating, check out information given below.

    

    Asian Style Decorating Ideas

    Colors

    The first thing that you need to keep in mind while decorating your kitchen country style comprises of the colors to be used. In Asian style, we hardly see the use of the same color, but in different shades. Rather, it is all about using lots of different colors that contrast beautifully with one another. For example, you can make use of black and white (central Asian) or red and green (Chinese style), and so on. At the same time, remember to make use of gold and silver colors only for highlighting and accenting.

    

    Furniture

    Furniture needs to be picked carefully for the Asian style. In case you want a contemporary look in Asian style, you can go for black or whiter furniture that easily blends in with the rest of the décor.

    

    Accessories

    Accessorizing is one of the best ways to bring out a completely new style in your kitchen. In case of Asian style décor also, you can do the same. However, make sure to keep the keyword of simplicity in mind.

    

    Too much accessorizing will spoil the look , rather than adding to it. In case you already have too many accessories, simply rotate them, rather than adding new ones. At the same time, you can choose some special Chinese style bowls or chopsticks, these can give your kitchen more Asian style.

    

    Candles

    Candles help add warmth to a house and make it look much more cozy and inviting.

    

    You can make use of candles while decorating your Asian style too. Nevertheless, remember not to use them in excess. A few candles, placed sparingly, will work just fine.

    The Halloween season is almost upon us again. It’s interesting as you study cultures around the world how different things are celebrated. In traditional Chinese cultures, costumes are used in many rituals, plays and dances. It’s not uncommon to see the two-man dragon dance during the open ceremony of a business or around the New Years time. Likewise, you’ll find a rich history of costumes used in various opera productions, such as the Monkey King and his Pig Lord sidekick.

     

    Chinese costumes, can also be worn during days that signify happiness and festivity, like the Halloween. Be a Chinese princess or a Chinese girl-warrior by wearing the Chinese dresses. Boys can be Bruce Lee, the Monkey King or be an animal in the Zodiac.

     

    The Basics

    The Chinese national costume is pretty and festive used on its own. However, for those who want to celebrate in their favorite Chinese story personalities, handy things around the house can be added to the basic Chinese costume.

     

    1. Chinese Dress - Qi Pao

    Qi Pao - This Chinese Dress is elegant and festive in its own right. Qi Pao means banner dress when translated. It usually has a high neck and slits on the sides. Designs can vary to flatter the woman's good features and hide the less than perfect features. Qi Pao for young girls can also be gotten in different colors and materials. For active young girls a Qi Pao dress-pants is a good idea.

     

    Decide what impact you want to have when you walk into the room before you look at any Halloween costumes. Do you want heads to turn or do you want to look sexy, devilish, funny or impish? Once you have chosen your outfit, think of what shoes, hairstyles, accessories and makeups you'd like to go with.

    Fushion east-west of UGG boots or sneakers, docile traditional slippers or mary jane, or daring high heels or leather boots?

    Bun hairdo with our hair pins or chopstick? pony-tail or bob-cut for the cutsie chinagirl visage? or dyed streaks, and sadako style?

    Do not forget the lipstick! Deep red, or a lite pink is recommended to compliment our dresses for the Halloween

    Don’t forget the Bling. Get some costume jewelry for your Halloween dressing up secession. Rings, necklaces, bracelets, ankle bracelets, clip on earrings and maybe even an umbrella are all good suggestions for dressing up as a China girl for Halloween.

     

    2. Chinese pants set for boys

    For boys, the traditional costume pants set is a must-have set. The top has a mandarin collar with long sleeves. Pants are loose and flowing. Some costume sets include hats with pigtails or hoods.

     

    Dressing up

    It is a good idea to gather the following from around the house before starting to mix and match.

    Getting sequined Chinese slippers or kung fu shoes from a nearby department store can be a good idea. It can be worn several times if you like wearing costumes for every event (or regularly, since they are comfortable). These can also be ordered online.

    Mom's silk skirts in shiny fabrics, dad's silk robes may also be looted. If your family has wigs lying around the house, keep those. It may turn out useful for completing your desired look. Beautiful fabrics, scarves, bead necklaces, even table runners can be added to your collection of materials. Craft flowers, satin ribbons can also be added to the hair.

     

    Chinese Princess

    Do this with: girl's empire cut long dress/ other long dresses in plain design, in shiny fabric and plain design can also be used as a base garment when dressing up as a Chinese princess. An empire cut spaghetti strap will also do nicely. This can be topped over by a long robe/ blouse with butterfly sleeves(These tunic blouses were in fashion 3? 4? Years ago so mom may still have one in her closet.)

    Hair can be fixed in a double bun, one on each side of the head, or let some of the hair flow. Beads can also be strung through the hair. Sashes can be tied around the waist, or can be used as hang down designs for the belt.

     

    2. Lady White Snake

    Similar to the Chinese Princess, although wear a white costume. May also bring a toy snake and put a pillow by the tummy to look pregnant.

     

    3. Chinese Girl-Warrior

    Like Mulan or Yu Shu Lien/ Jen Yu in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

    Do this with :

    -Cheongsam dress-pants set

    -Toy Sword or toy bows and arrows

    -Kungfu shoes/ other shoes

    Wear the pants set and shoes, sling over the toy weapons and youre done. Mom may also fix Warrior's hair into a neat hair style fit for battle.

     

    4. Bruce Lee

    Bruce Lee is one of my favorites to see. Strong, mysterious, and handsome, what girl wouldn’t swoon for this guy. A costume to look like him is also quite easy to recreate. The easiest version of him is to go topless with a pair of black Kung Fu pants and Kung Fu shoes (or if those are hard to get, black wrestling shoes and black sweat pants).

    But some of us aren’t fortunate enough to live in a warm environment, so another option is Bruce Lee in a yellow and black sweat suit as he wore in Game of Death. Or you could go for the Kato look from his appearance in the TV show, Green Hornet

     

    5. Monkey King

    Do this with :

    -Boys Traditional Black Kung Fu pants set

    -Monkey mask or face crayons

    -Stick
