Asian Zen Kitchen Interior Design
Ideas, layouts, colors and materials for a asian zen kitchen — plus the pieces that make the look work.



Designing a asian zen kitchen
A asian zen kitchen blends the asian zen look — quiet + adaptable, ash, clay plaster, translucent screen, straw, stone — with layouts and details that suit a kitchen. Start with the palette, anchor the room around a focal point, then layer in texture and lighting.
Asian Zen kitchen palette
Let rice paper and ash hold most of the visual field, with stone marking harder working zones. Use charcoal to clarify a few objects and allow moss green to arrive through the framed garden rather than decorative plant clutter.
Color roles
A warm translucent white for walls, linen and filtered light rather than a stark painted shell.
The principal timber note for floors, cabinetry, screens and lightweight furniture.
A cool durable counterpoint at entrances, worktops and sheltered exterior thresholds.
A grounding accent for wool, ceramics and a few precise metal fittings.
A muted living green that belongs mainly outside the room or in one restrained textile.
