Gothic Oriental Bedroom
This Gothic Dragon Oriental bedroom theme can be a lot of fun if both the Gothic and Oriental / Asian cultures interest you. This bedroom was created for those who collect swords, Manga, figurines, and/or anime.
Years ago, my husband (then boyfriend) had a large collection of Kanji symbols, sword displays, Ninja gear and other Asian collectibles...that didn't seem to fit in with my gargoyles and Gothic dragons. Out of necessity, I learned to make them co-exist. Some of these concepts can also be used for any Oriental setting and not just those with a dark appeal. Be creative and make the scene your own...

Scroll Wall - Creating Your Setting
Dramatic Oriental Feature for your Bedroom
The walls are the main focus, as you begin by painting the walls a mix of cream and ivory shades using a faux painting technique. Include a flat red accent wall in the same room to enhance your favorite hanging decorations.Turn one wall into an over-sized scroll:
1. Hang long wooden circular rods on both the top and bottom, centered on one wall using curtain rod brackets. Hang red tassels on each end of the rods.
2. Use a thin brush dipped in tan and black paint to draw in the edges of the scroll between the rods to look like a sheet of paper.
3. Paint Kanji characters, Chinese astrology symbols, Celestial dragons, Phoenix, Tigers, or a landscape mural to complete your project.
If you do not want to paint on the wall, buy a few yards of painter's canvas fabric to hang in between. If you can't paint, there are many stencils and stamps available that will work well.
Elemental Features
Dragons and Natural Eastern Design Concepts
My Gothic inspiration for this room comes from dragons, Geisha faces or masks, and natural elements.
I included a dragon comforter on the bed, hand made masks on the walls, and items that portrayed each of the 5 Eastern elements included (Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, and Metal).
A single elemental grouping is placed in each corner, and one is centrally located. For example, in the fire corner you would display various objects such as candles, demon figurines, and flames and torches for fire grouped together. In the metal section, be sure to include all of your chains, rings, and other Gothic silver pieces. Hang them on the wall on pegs, and feature a main accent cabinet or jewelry box.
