Japanese interiors focus primarily on one simple philosophy, Zen.
All the rooms in a traditionally furnished Japanese home strive to
achieve a balance of peace and simplicity; their interiors are
steeped in centuries of cultural influence, and a sense of calm is
key to the whole aesthetic. This handbook shows how to create a
tailor-made Japanese home. Working through the house one room at a
time, it highlights classic items of furniture and signature
accessories, from tatami mats and paper lanterns to shoji (dividing
screens). In-depth case studies demonstrate the essential elements
and provide inspiration, while colour combinations are explored to
help personalize this iconic style for the home. Anyone who hankers
after the Japanese look and is eager to bring it to their own home
will find this book a valuable resource.
