Japanese style in interior design is one of the ethnic style trends. It is characterized by natural materials and minimalism. This can be seen both in the decoration and in the filling of the room. This direction is more suitable for ascetic people and those who do not like bright colors. Japanese-style cottage design was very popular a few years ago and is still very popular today.

- Natural materials in decoration and interior items.
- Dim lighting.
- Water as an element of decor.
JAPANESE-STYLE HOUSE FINISHING
If we talk about decoration, then you need to choose natural materials and natural colors. Usually the walls in the interior in the Japanese style are gray or beige. This will expand the space of the cottage and visually increase the size of the room. Part of the wall can be finished with wood panels. For the floor, it is better to choose a laminate or bamboo board. A characteristic feature are sliding wooden doors with frosted glass. It is better to make the ceiling white matte.
JAPANESE-STYLE FURNITURE
Furniture for such an interior should be distinguished by strict lines and concise design. There is no place for fancy design and bright colors. The amount of furniture should be kept to a minimum. It is better to hide everything superfluous behind a built-in wardrobe with frosted glass. One of the must-have items is a low wooden table for the tea ceremony.
JAPANESE-STYLE HOUSE DECORATION
Since the Japanese style in the interior suggests minimalism, a large amount of decor is unacceptable. You can throw a bamboo mat on the floor. Hang a picture on the wall with Japanese motifs, such as hieroglyphs or cherry blossoms. You can also decorate the wall with Japanese daggers. The Japanese style is characterized by the use of sconces and floor lamps. They are usually made of parchment and give off a soft diffused light. For cottage design, the Japanese style is perfect. It is within the framework of a large house that an idea characteristic of this style can be realized – a minimum of furniture in a large space.
