Japan is a crowded place and everyone lives in small spaces so your small room is likely to be authentic in that regard. Choose furniture pieces that give at least two functions. Usually it is storage combined with something else. However, any ethnic interpretation of small space living is going to translate easily to your Asian decor.

For traditional Asian which is what I think you mean, that Zen/spa feeling, you want to involve nature in a very balanced way. Balanced doesn't always mean symmetrical. (2 vases on a mantle flanked by two chairs next to two tables...boring)

Some elements I have seen a LOT of in traditional Asian design: wood, fire, grass, stones, sand, paper, water, bamboo, animals.

Some other ideas for this: use low backed furniture, with simple design and dark stains. ONE accent color (often red) in only a couple places will help things along. Keep things uncluttered and subtle, including windows. If you have a lot of stuff, pare it down, get it behind doors, or into woven containers. Don't decorate with a lot of small doodahs. Let a very few pieces make a big statement instead. This will help your small room be more functional as well.

I'm sure equally Asian is a retro/modern feel with bright colors associated with anime and such, which might include more urban things like chic lighting, slick finishes, metal and mirrors, posters, etc.

Another way to go is the very ornate antique Asian decor. If you have a lot of stuff, you might consider mixing in a few pieces for this look. Some classic pieces in antique Asian: screens, trunks, table top chests/treasure boxes, trays, carved statues, etc all with intricate patterns and detailing. Also included are fancy linens similar to toile (French) but with Asian motifs. MUCH more busy than the spa decor items but if you are NOT a minimalist....this would be nice.

Don't forget feng shui. This is a mind body spirit thing that will help you get things into the place where energy flow is optimized around the room. Most of this is not ooky spooky at all, and when you discover the reasons for the principles of feng shui, you realize it is just good common sense design.

Plain on Japanese. Easy to do. Just pack as much stuff as possible into your bedroom. Give it a really cluttered feeling. Now you have plain on Japanese. They don't have a lot of extra storage space, so things just end up where they land. Get a high powered fan and put it outside your bedroom door. Throw the stuff in front of the fan and wherever it lands, that's where it stays. If you have a large closet, it helps to imagine that you only have a small one, and thus the rest of the stuff goes in front of the fan. Plain on Japanese.

Do you have a Ross or TJ Max in your city?? Those are the best places or you look for an asian decor store. Their prices are pretty reasonable. I picked up some really cool lamps from Ross that are asian that were 10.00 a piece. Check out Target too they have a great selection of asian decor.

My room has this theme sort of. I have a paper lantern hanging by a hook in the ceiling, with a light bulb in it. Do dramatic curtains, or bamboo shades. Get nice bedding that reflects what look you're going for and then use framed posters of Japan and knick-knacks on shelves to bring it out.

Along with stone, mud and animal parts, wood was one of the first materials worked by early humans. Microwear analysis of the Mousterian stone tools used by the Neanderthals show that many were used to work wood. The development of civilization was closely tied to the development of increasingly greater degrees of skill in working these materials.
