51 Tea Rooms Design Ideas With Tips And Accessories To Help You Design Yours

The inextricable tea drinking culture of East Asia is well known, where tea is far more than just a pleasant beverage. Not only is tea enjoyed personally and at social events, in small tea parties and public tea houses, but many cultures have created intricate formal ceremonies around the act of tea preparation and serving. Whilst East Asian tea ceremonies differ between countries, the ritualistic nature of the drink is agreed upon. This enjoyable daily observance has inspired the inclusion of personal tea rooms inside of modern homes, which are what we are exploring here today. From traditional Asian tea tables and tatami mats to contemporary interpretations of the theme, we’ll discover how to elevate tea at home.

Colour a space that’s steeped with tradition. Deep red, natural wood, and black accents will bring a sense of the past even to modern interiors that deliver a contemporary twist on the tea room aesthetic. Add elegant indoor plants and small trees to invigorate the rich backdrop.

A low Chabudai table and Zabuton floor cushions allow large windows to be enjoyed to their fullest. Consider developing a zen garden, a lily pond, or a vertical garden to really capitalise on the window framed scene.

To honour the Japanese tradition, Zabuton floor cushions and floor poufs are key. Team with Shōji doors or screens and framed Shūji calligraphy to complete the look.

Chinese tea drinking is done at a raised table. It’s considered inappropriate to be seated directly opposite the tea server, but in a house of only two people, you could let that one slide.

Botanical wall art creates a peaceful visual that’s conducive to the relaxed atmosphere of a tea drinking session. This beautiful Shōji lined space also features a round picture window to frame nature’s real beauty.

A tag on tea room. It’s totally okay nowadays to tag a tea room onto an open plan living space. You can achieve a sense of special ceremony with a larger sized tea server’s chair and smaller counterparts on the other side. Flank with symmetrical cabinets and finish with a focal point of serene wall art.

A linear suspension light effectively anchors a modern dining spot, so why not a modern tea room too?



Visualizer: Shexia Space Design  



Put on a show. A collection of cast-iron Tetsubin teapots are proudly displayed on illuminated shelves here, combining traditional and contemporary approaches. A focal wall of wooden lattice panels hint at traditional Shōji screens without committing fully to the endeavour.

The Bonsai tree has long been a symbol of balance, patience, harmony, and luck in Asian culture, with Zen Buddhists believing the Bonsai to be an object of meditation and contemplation. Who wouldn’t want to bring these wonderful qualities to their tea table?

The seating etiquette in a traditional Chinese teahouse conventionally calls for the first guest of honour to be situated at the host’s left hand side. The remaining seats are allocated in descending order toward the right. Therefore, a shared bench is most likely to come after single seats if the length of the table allows.

Mountain motifs are popular in tea room interior design. Their undulating outline provides an expansive panorama that visually opens up the space.



Visualizer: 新中式空间  



Arch decor is prevalent in modern interiors, and tea rooms are no exception. Use this curvaceous device to softly frame a decorative item that sets the scene for ceremony, and utilise a ribbon of LEDs to draw due focus.

Another stunning Japanese Maple takes the stage in a mini zen garden.



Visualizer: Cool Design Perception Space  



Of course, a comfortable tea room is also a great place to settle down for a game of checkers. Don’t forget to allocate surrounding storage with game time in mind.

Japanese ginger jars were originally containers for salt, oil, and spices like ginger, which is of course where they got their name upon entering the Western world. Their decorative nature is now enjoyed on shelves and mantels, and makes an ideal accompaniment for a tea room.
