More and more people adopt the Japanese style of decoration and
furnishing in their houses. It is not really that strange considering
how Japanese design looks and how much peaceful it makes you feel. Not
only does Japanese style look better but it also tranquilizes your
senses and lifts your stress. There are some things you can do to give
your house a Japanese look. Here are some of them:
1- Use bright colors. Paint your walls with light neutral colors.
Bright colors make your room look spacious and give it that needed touch
to establish a Japanese style. Yellow, white and their shades are the
most common colors used in a Japanese room.
2- Use a futon instead of beds. Futons are a type of mattress that
can be folded and put away when you do not need them. They are easy to
clean and air, they save space, and they – regarding our concern- give a
realistic feeling of Japanese decor. They are also healthy (scientists
have proved that using futons for sleep reduces back problems).
3- Simplicity is the key, so go for simple designs and avoid
complicated patterns. Japenese furniture does not have extravagant
decorations or bold flowery colors. So avoid those if you are opting for
a Japanese look. The less details the better.
4- Light is your friend, so use whatever tools you could
afford to get as much light as possible. The most evident tool you have
is windows. Another tool is sheer light colored curtains. Colors are
also a handy tool because light colors reflect natural light.
5- Lines are a prominent features of Japanese design. Didn’t you
notice how Japanese sliding doors have crossed lines? They also use
tatami mattresses instead of carpets. They are small mattresses put
beside each others to cover the floor thus providing your floor with
many lines.
Japanese style is gorgeous and relaxing. Decorating your house in
Japanese style will make your rooms more simple and spacious. Your
guests will love the new design and you will enjoy the air of
tranquility in your family.
