With its harmonious marriage of age-old traditions and modern conveniences, Thai interior design is a versatile style that can be adapted to suit almost any house and any owner: whether you prefer a contemporary style or a rustic one, a minimalist approach or opulent splendor, there’s enough flexibility in the style to accommodate your personal preferences without losing that eastern magic at its heart.
If Thailand is known for anything (asides from its gorgeous beaches and welcoming residents, of course), it’s its food: with a magical combination of hot and spicy, sweet and savory, it’s just as loved in the west as it is the east.
Part of the reason for its popularity is the way it balances competing flavors to create a perfectly harmonious end result… something Thai’s are just as adept at doing in their homes.
Weaving traditional details into modern elements, Thai homes are characterized by their timeless appeal, distinct personalities, and harmonious ambiances.
Thai design might be known for its bold use of color, but that’s not to say you need to go for big, strong colors on every available surface. Thai’s tend to favor neutral backdrops in their kitchens (think creams, beiges, whites, and whispery greys).
When it comes to accents, have as much fun as you like: pillar-box reds, blushing pinks, vivid purples, and glamorous golds all feature heavily in the Thai color palette and will add a touch of Asian style with just a few strokes of a brush.
If you prefer to avoid too many big, bright colors, then don’t worry: Thai style can be just a subtle as you want it to be.
A great way of keeping to the minimalist approach is to stick to a monochrome color theme: try a combination of white walls and black accents (if you can handle it, a few elements of gold thrown in here and there will up the wow factor and add a touch of opulence to the finished result).
