Zen Inspired Designs
To create an authentic, Zen-inspired design, reflect nature's influence in your choice of materials. Use organic materials. Strive for balance between Asia's five elements: fire, earth, water, metal and air. Blend copper faucets and stone sinks with airy rice paper screens. Move the mountain inside the house with stacked pebble tiles. Cast concrete sinks have the look and feel of carved stone and add an important grounding balance to your bathroom. If you want to get the Zen look for less, consider installing bamboo laminate countertops.

Teak is a popular wood in Zen design and it's an easy way to add an authentic touch with no remodeling at all. Add a teak stool to the shower and teak floor mats outside the tub. If you are remodeling, build a teak bench next to the tub. "One to three pieces work best. Balance is the key."
