The philosophical way of life in the Land of the Rising Sun has always stirred the minds and imagination of Europeans. Surprised by a certain detachment and asceticism, the interior without excesses and manifestation of personal preferences. The Japanese style in the interior is a laconic minimalism and absolute fidelity to tradition. Classical Japanese housing is a search for the pleasure of simple things and an eternal ode to nature. Here are 7 ideas of living room modern japanese interior design.

Floor 

The Japanese walk barefoot at home, so a comfortable warm floor is appreciated. Not necessarily using a modern option with heating, just natural wood and tatami type mats. Our interpretation of Japanese style apartment design is imitation of natural wood. Use parquet board and laminate in light shades or dark, but with an expressive textured pattern of expensive wood.

Walls 

In modern styling, much of the traditional has been lost, such as the 2 types of walls – exterior and interior. Geometric designs in the form of sectional grids, draped with light fabric or dense rice paper – this solution is not present in any other style. Modern Japanese style room design should take all this into account.

Ceilings 

Asian ethno style is unusual in all its manifestations, including the design of the ceiling. These wooden beams that are used in modern stylization as lintels for suspended ceilings and structures for the original lighting. Multi-level ceilings with a matte stretch fabric will be appropriate.

Plumbing 

The same smooth lines and laconic forms, clear geometry and rounded bowls. This wooden bathtub has an unusual form – from a single piece of a large tree and an oval washbasin. Reflecting the Japanese style in the interior of your apartment, you can be limited to a wooden podium under the tub and countertop under the sink. The shower is minimalist in the truest sense of the word, with only a water hole in the floor behind a glass partition, a tap in the wall, and a stream splitter under the ceiling.

Wood 

Natural wood is welcomed in everything – furniture, wall and ceiling surfaces, even sanitary ware. Great importance in the Japanese style of interior design is given to the outlines of wood products: simple geometry; elegance of sinuous lines; laconic refinement of forms.

Curtains 

Initially they were not intended because Japanese windows had a sliding construction with a canopy on the outside and no tulle curtains inside. Rice paper roll curtains replaced the complex window décor of the European. 

Decor and Accessories 

Typically Japanese style in the interior can be emphasized by single “Japanese accents”, if it is a simple stylization or imitation, in the bathroom, bedroom or living room. Choosing a suitable porcelain stoneware for lining the bathroom, you can lay out a panel with a picture in the center of the room. The living room and bedroom will be decorated with a traditional ikebana or a blooming orchid.
