Everyone feels best at home especially if the interior is relaxing and welcoming. The Japanese are leading the way - they are the world champions in the field of Zen look and feel. The calming effect of the wooden furniture and the successful fusion of functional and comfortable design are the reason why more and more interior designers incorporate the basic principles of Asian style in their projects. We will show you some interesting Japanese style house furnishing ideas and give you tips how you can implement them in your own home. The Japanese style of living is based on several basic principles. Layout comes first. We often see an open living area with a small cooking area, dining area and a seating area. Sound familiar? Furniture is of great importance for a Japanese style house – it should be super simple, with clean lines. The rooms have as little as possible home furnishing. Finally, it should not hinder the free movement in the room. The decor is in neutral colors - the walls are white, the furniture - made of light wood. Decoration most often features pots with bonsai trees, river stones and lanterns. Japanese style homes can be created with very little effort and even on a budget. If you want to do that get rid of all clutter. Paint the living room in white, a white kitchen with handleless cabinet doors, a small sitting area with a low, rectangular coffee table made of wood would be the easiest way to re-create the balanced atmosphere of the style. A double bed with wooden frame in the bedroom, a futon bed, or a bed on a podium will add the right ambience. Decorate with only a couple of small bonsai trees and you are done.
