How the Japanese preserve style and comfort in their apartments

Japan is a country of traditions and rules. Many citizens of the country live according to the rules and laws that were invented thousands of years ago. Their life is created in such a way that would preserve the maximum space for air in the house, purity of soul and body. They never make a home with furniture and carpets on the walls. Only beautiful paintings, built-in wardrobes in traditional and loft style (lately).

“To save space in the house is not only minimalism, but also an opportunity to preserve the“ spiritual landscape, ”says Japanese designer H. Hirooka. The Japanese have been living in apartments for a long time due to expensive real estate. Beautiful traditional-style houses are now available only to the wealthy. But apartments in new buildings are planned in such a way that living in them is a pleasure. Bedrooms with semi-circular walls, with beautiful views of the park or forest, are a trend in Japan lately.

Against the background of this apartment, we will consider how it is possible to equip the apartment in the new tendencies of Japanese culture and style. We will share tips in practice, on built-in furniture and art on the walls, to add beauty to the eye and maintain style in the inner world.

And so let's start with the first room. It is semicircular, wide, with panoramic windows to the forest. The windows are metal-plastic, they are in demand, as they reduce the noise to the apartment to the maximum and save heat in winter.

The floor is made of natural parquet boards, a large bed, and a colorful illuminated ceiling. The red curtains add to the kabuki theater effect that Japanese people love. The lighting above the sofa allows you to shine all the necessary parts of the room.

All things in a built-in wardrobe, completely mirrored, which saves space and replaces the dressing table. The color scheme of the room is white and black, like the traditional Yin-Yang idea.

The second room, which is also for children, has a built-in wardrobe on the entire wall, in a light orange color, very calm and joyful for children. The opposite wall is in floral green wallpaper that gives a natural feel to the room.

The wall behind the bed is made of traditional wood for an ecological sleep.

And for dessert, as they say, innovation from the Japanese. In the toilet, they thought of growing live moss, which betrays freshness and the feeling of the very nature of a large house.

So, the variety of cultures is no longer a rarity, styles are embodied one into another, and help brighten up the gray everyday life. All style and cheerful mood.
