Mother Nature is the main design factor for Asian ethnic bathroom styles. This is why flora is evident in Asian ethnic bathroom designs and décor. Bamboo tiles or bamboo print wallpapers (make sure that they’re waterproof). Other wood materials, like mahogany, may be used for wood tiles or armoires.

Japanese usually have circular designs while the Chinese like wide spaces.

For cabinets, wardrobes, and vanities - Asian ethnic bathroom vanities and Cabinets are usually made out of wood, helping it blend in with the whole natural and ethnic design. Fixtures, such as faucets, shower heads and booths can remain clean and simple straight lines. There are fixtures though, that come in the form of bamboos.

It can serve as an inconspicuous cover – up or window protection, so you don’t have to be worried about people seeing you, should you be going about your business inside the bathroom.
