Modern East in the interior of a Japanese private house
Eastern philosophy calls for minimalism in home design. Spacious rooms with light finishes, plenty of natural light and a minimal set of furniture and decor attract many of us in the photo, but how to implement a similar design in our own apartment or private house? It seems that minimalism is able to displace the owners themselves from their own homes. For homeowners who have children, home decoration in a minimalist way seems completely impossible. But the designers of one Japanese home ownership, together with the owners, were able to find a compromise and arrange a home with a minimal amount of furniture, but they did not sacrifice the comfort, coziness and needs of all family members. Let's see together how they managed to implement their plan, and go through the rooms of a Japanese private house.
Due to the high prices of land, most Japanese private houses, both within the city and beyond, are narrow but tall buildings. The snow-white facade is an ideal option for those who do not want to stand out very much among neighboring households on the street, but want to create a bright and even airy image of the exterior of the house.
On the ground floor of the household there is a living room, which is connected to the kitchen space and the dining room segment. The open layout of the room allows you to maintain a sense of spaciousness and provide unhindered traffic in all areas, despite the high functional congestion of the space. Snow-white walls and flooring using light wood - an ideal finish not only for lovers of minimalism, but also a universal way to provide the most effective background for any furniture and decor.
In the living area, everything is simple and concise - the relaxation segment is represented by a small sofa with a wooden frame and bright velor upholstery, the video zone consists of a TV and a storage system in the simplest modification. Black and white artwork and a large plant in the outdoor tub became the only decor elements in this area.
We pass into the kitchen segment, which is located on a certain elevation in relation to the living area. There is enough space for a single-row arrangement of a kitchen with a peninsula and a full dining group. The same design concept was used in the design of this functional segment - contrasting elements against the background of snow-white decoration and furniture to maintain the dynamism and color diversity of the room.
Each functional sector of the kitchen space has its own lighting system - a composition of three pendant lights in black contrasting colors over the kitchen work area and an original chandelier in a similar color over the dining group. The use of chairs of various models and colors in the dining room sector gives the interior some relaxation, adds coziness and warmth to the atmosphere of the room for cooking and eating.
The laundry room, equipped with the latest technology, is also located on the ground floor of a Japanese private house. Convenient storage systems for detergents and countertops for folding and sorting linen have become a very practical addition to household appliances.
The use of black magnetic boards in homes with children has become a real mainstream. This is not only a convenient base for the manifestation of the creative beginnings of the younger generation (children like to draw weight on the walls), but also an aid in housekeeping for parents - you can leave messages to each other, write down recipes, shopping lists and other little things that make our life easier. From the first floor we climb the wooden stairs to the upper level of Japanese home ownership.
The decor of the entire home ownership has one detail that is repeated in the interiors of various rooms - the image of owls. These cute creatures are present in the form of drawings of wall decor, print wallpapers and textiles, in the form of small figures, sculptures.
The space near the stairs on the second floor is decorated in a very original way. A large bar counter and a pair of original bar stools became the only furniture of this rather spacious room. And behind two bright compartment doors is an even more spacious children's playroom.
The game room still has the same spaciousness, bright finishes and bright pieces of furniture and decor. In such a large room for children there is more than enough space.
We move into the space of the bedroom and simultaneously notice the presence of "bird" decor on the counter. Small white birds in a strict and concise design look organically surprised, bringing a touch of warmth and homeliness.
In the bedroom, an equally simple and minimalist interior awaits us - a large bed in a colorful textile design, a similar print on the curtains and an original designer chandelier make up the entire interior of the room for sleeping and relaxing. In fact, for a calm and sound sleep, more is not required.
Even in utilitarian premises there was an opportunity to use an “owl” print for wall decoration. Graphic images of birds adorn the surface of the bathroom. The use of black and white combinations in any interior creates not only a contrasting perception and structure of the whole image, but also brings some dynamism to the design of the room.
