* Keep your walls a very clear and simple – no set pattern and arranged with great pictures.
* Screen squares of dark wood inlaid with a slightly transparent, white papers are very specific to the Japanese style. Use them around the walls, or to divide the room into smaller spaces. Watch out for various styles and designs for your latticework screens.

Windows
* If possible, choose round-ups (or mirrors to be seen without hassle!) – To the moon window of a very effective and authentic Japanese style.
* Curtains should be minimal, if at all – blinds are the best looking for this style.
* If you choose curtains, go for something simple and neutral. White veils will always look good, and to set very soft, quiet and clean feeling.

* These floor mats are very ordinary Japanese. They are known as “tatami” mat, and consists of straw and cloth.
Furniture
* Space is very important in Japanese interior decorating. Keep a tidy room, with plenty of space and minimal furnishings.
* Use screens to divide up the space – for example, hinder access to one bedroom for privacy.
* Flexibility to run screens and change the space is a very important concept in Japanese interior decorating.


Keep * other furniture a very low level. Low coffee table with floor cushions as seating is perfect.
* A Futon is another typical Japanese furniture, and can be used as seating positions, and (again, that many important Japanese concept of flexibility and space.)
* Choose dark wood furniture an authentic look – dark or glossy finishes – black as lacquer, or even polished black granite.

Accessories
* Japanese interior look is very simple and minimalist appearance. It is based on the idea of Japanese “wabi” – a concept of simplicity of design – a reaction against the very ornate and overly ornate décor of 16th century Japan.
* Although Zen type minimalist Japanese style concept in modern life, beautiful, ornate and rich elements may be included in your projects.
* These beautiful objects and feature tracks should be added sparingly to the Japanese style rooms though.
* These objects become the center of a room in the same way that fire or special dye may be the focal point of a Western-style room.
* Items must be flexible too. They usually appear seasonally, and then stored.


* Objects are shown or in groups of three (or other odd number) for natural and organic feeling, or in groups of 4 (or another even number) if you are going to order more disciplined and feel.
* Objects appropriate to display small altars, hearths and miniature gardens. Other typical Japanese accessories are beautiful antiques, kimono and other fine embroideries on display, or Japanese tea service.
* Do not forget that natural “aspect of Japanese interior accessories in too. Include typically Japanese plants, bonsai, bamboo and orchids.
