Japanese minimalism in the interior

For those who love simplicity and space, air and light, and also inclined towards philosophy and meditation, Japanese minimalism in the interior is suitable.

Japan is an amazing country where modern technology meets natural simplicity. Japanese minimalism is the style that will bring peace of mind and a sense of peace in your own home.

The main distinguishing feature of Japanese minimalism is the freedom of space, the Japanese call it emptiness. In such a room, nothing prevents the air from freely walking in the room, thoughts work well in such a place, nothing distracts from the main thing. And here it is good to rest, because in such a room harmony and peace reign.

The main items here will be a low sofa, a sofa, a banquette - whoever likes what better. Small table. All things, little things will be hidden behind sliding systems, nothing should be present in plain sight.

Unobtrusive lamps and flashlights will also be used as lighting. The floor can accommodate modest mats. The windows do not hide behind curtains, they let in the light. A plant can be used as decorative elements, in Japanese minimalism it is often bonsai. Walls, ceilings and floors should also not be full of colors - restrained colors. There may be contrasts, but you need to think about what the emphasis will be.

Another element characteristic of the Japanese style is screens. They help to zone the space, create cozy corners. Their convenience is that they are mobile. And they can look different, in their manufacture are often used as the simplest materials (burlap, bamboo, rice paper), and silk, embroidery, often hieroglyphs or landscapes.

Japanese minimalism is well suited for decorating a studio apartment, where all the canons will be observed. There is already space and light, it remains to pick up a minimum of furniture, the free area can be delimited using the same screens.

But individual rooms can be completely subordinated to one general concept.

It is not difficult to arrange a living room. The ceiling should be light, it can be delimited by dark beams and the lighting should be well thought out. OUsually these are lamps, of which there are many. Each of them creates diffused light, which gives the room a special comfort.

The walls should also be light. The presence of beams is also acceptable here. This will give the room austerity. But you can, by making all the walls light (paint with paint, stick on plain wallpaper), focus on one. There can be hieroglyphs, a sakura tree, a large Japanese fan.

Low sofas with solid-colored pillows are suitable as furniture, which can be placed on the floor if necessary. A low table made of wood or glass is required. In niches, as a rule, there is a minimum of decor - plants, photos, netsuke.

Light blinds or light curtains can be placed on the windows. In a spacious living room, it will not hurt to install a screen, which can be moved if necessary.

The bedroom is a resting place, the presence of the simplest bed without any pretentiousness and decor elements is appropriate here., and even more relevant will be a mattress on the podium, decorated with a Japanese-style bedspread.

From furniture, a simple chest of drawers is suitable for a minimum of things. If you need to store some things, you should provide for several niches that will hide behind the sliding system. Lighting should be soft - it can be an overhead lamp, and a lamp on the chest of drawers.

As for the kitchen, you need to remember that this is, first of all, an ideal order, and it can only be achieved with the help of a minimum of items and the correct storage system.

All lockers have sliding, roll-out, rotary systems, but no objects are in sight. The technique is certainly present, but not striking.

Despite the fact that Japanese minimalism implies seemingly simplicity of decoration and a small number of items, simplicity is apparent - such an interior needs to be carefully thought out so that everything looks harmonious. And an example of this is the ready-made design options.

• Black and white space allows you to make accents, low comfortable furniture is designed for relaxation, indoor decor is a minimum.

• Ideal bedroom decoration in light colors. The laconic bed is complemented by bedside tables with original lamps. Light curtains on the windows, light carpet complete the idea of ​​interior design.

• This option fully reflects the concept of Japanese minimalism. A low table with rugs, an original lamp, plants, beams on the walls and ceiling - everything is subordinated to one goal: to create comfort and a sense of harmony with a minimum of things in the space.
