Japanese-inspired decorative style should take its cue from the culture’s influences honoring simplicity and natural order. The goal in designing any Japanese interior is to radiate a sense of calm and serenity by balancing clean open spaces with orderly presentation and harmonious arrangements of furniture and accents.
Japanese style focuses on subdued muted hues and shies away from colors that are bold, brassy or bright. Tranquil shades of grey, brown and green that are reflective of nature provide a soothing backdrop for wood tones that may range from light shades of bamboo to deeper lacquered pieces. For harmony’s sake, the color tone of furniture should be consistent throughout the room. Bolder strokes of color may be used reserved and used judiciously for accents; a bright Japanese fabric screening may be a featured wall art and its colors repeated in silk accent pillows upon the bed or a side chair.
A traditional Japanese accessory is a Shoji screen, a simple wood or bamboo frame stretched with rice paper. It can be used behind a chair or bed, or in a corner to create depth. Hide a light fixture behind the screen and set it on a timer to illuminate the screen with gentle radiance. You can also use a Shoji screen to divide a large room, to create an entry into the room, or to hide a closet area; or use a Shoji screen front of a window as a simply traditional Japanese window treatment.
