With nearly 2 million Asian Americans living in Los Angeles, no one can doubt that their culture, art, cuisine, and style has influenced Los Angeles in many great ways. As Los Angeles is a melting pot of dozens of nationalities, races, religions, and ethnicity, people tend to get eclectic about their design choices.

A particular trend in home remodeling is to create bathrooms with a heavy Asian influence. The tranquil and serenity of the style help people with hectic urban lifestyles find a moment of peace in a spa-like bathroom. Indeed, the style has a unique flair, with it's natural colors, natural materials and textures, and a clean geometric layout.

Of course, it is important for your contractor to know what kind of materials are necessary. Knowing how to balance the right colors, the texture and elements is key. Adding a glass partition, bamboo wooden floors, bamboo blinds and natural stone decorations and organic textures is critical. Understanding when to use natural and artificial light is also very important.

In a recent bathroom remodel, our team at US Home Developers did a beautiful Japanese-style bathroom, which also now served as a spa. Light and water would play a prominent role in this master bath suite. We combined half walls and full walls to create a sense of privacy and control. We installed Shoji-screens to allow natural light to filter through and provide the ability to open and close access to the dressing room. And to top it off we installed a new shower with a river-pebble flooring which creates a natural look.

A bathroom remodel can be on the most cost-effective remodeling jobs you can do at home. Why not treat it to a new style and flaire that is unique in it's origin, and unique in it's aesthetics? The right professional can help you create a little bit of Asia in your own home!
