Many people dream of having a special place for relaxation in their home. An ideal option for such purposes is a bedroom, but sometimes this function can be assigned to a guest room or balcony. It is known that the idea of reuniting man with nature is reflected in the Japanese style. So, decoration, furniture, folding doors and decor must comply with the eastern direction.
Walls, floor and ceiling
The background in the room should be calm: white, cream, light green, beige. You can use paint or bamboo coating.
Floors are usually covered with wood paneling or gray stone tiles. Fluffy rugs and mottled rugs are excluded, maximum straw mat.
It is advisable to supplement the ceiling with beams of dark shades, if you plan to make suspended – frosted glass. Asian pale palettes allowed.
Furniture issue
A traditional wardrobe with mirrors is not worth buying. It is better to equip wall niches and shelves. A large soft bed should be replaced with a low bed with a podium. To give national color, it is recommended to install sliding screens made of rice paper – «shoji» and a table for tea ceremonies.
In the Japanese interior, wood texture prevails. Therefore, furniture and all structural elements must be made of natural materials (maple, cypress, resinous pine, cedar).
Decor
Porcelain figurines, living plants, paper lanterns, paintings depicting a running stream or spring sakura will decorate the bedroom. Bamboo blinds or thin panel curtains that will not interfere with natural light should be hung on the window.
To achieve the effect of relaxation in the room, you can install a mini-waterfall of mountain stones, as well as arrange candles, aroma lamps, scatter pillows.
