How to decorate the interior in Japanese style?

At the mention of the Japanese design in the apartment, one immediately recalls the laconic, ascetic, but at the same time cozy Japanese homes. Indeed, the basic principles of style are minimalism and functionality. The room contains exactly as much furniture as necessary. With this design there is no place for a large number of cabinets, bedside tables or chests of drawers. The protagonist of the apartment is its space.

The Japanese-style interior follows the philosophy of the inhabitants of the land of the rising sun.

The color scheme is in harmony with natural shades. It can be: beige, brown, light green. In order to emphasize unity with nature, and to decorate the house, compositions from plants (ikebana) are used.

In addition, in order not to come off the ground, all the furniture is quite low. Native Japanese may not use furniture at all, sleep on mats on the floor, for example. Such a way of life is unusual for European residents. To style the room, you need to pick up furniture with small legs. Instead of a full bed, you can put a mattress in the bedroom.

 Due to the fact that the Japanese apartments are very small, the functional and efficient use of space plays a large role, while not cluttering the appearance of the apartment. Often there are built-in niches or simply ascetic shelves on the walls. Screens made of thin material, such as rice paper, or bamboo sliding doors are used to zone the space. At any time they can be removed or rearranged, adding new paints to the room.

Features of the design of individual rooms

Any Japanese-style room starts from the floor. It should be covered with tatami mats. However, they can not be laid in corners to each other. If it is not possible to lay them the entire floor, you can place one mat near the bed in the bedroom or in the center of the living room.

The main element of the living room furniture is a small coffee table. It should be made of contrasting material with respect to the color scheme of the walls.

For the bedroom, a bed with low legs or a simple mattress is suitable. It should be a clear geometric shape. It is important to use furniture and decor made from natural materials.

 Do not forget about the decoration of the room. A panel with a picture of the landscape or hieroglyphs, curtains with contrasting drawings, screens will add zest to the interior in the Japanese style.
