Japanese home decor is a little bit more than plain decorating a living space. It is about achieving a feeling of balance in the universe. This process is known as Zen, which is essential in true Japanese home decor. With minimalism in furnishing the Japanese home decor embraces space, and uses it as a way of balancing the Yin and Yang.

Oriental paintings and wall art are another popular way to add Eastern decor. Some of the most popular images include mountains in mist, animals such as horses and the Japanese images of the ocean waves. There is an image to suit almost any taste, and these images and designs are timeless in their beauty and appeal. You can use them as a single image, or a series of images, especially if they are smaller items that go together.

Next is the central feature of a Japanese-style bedroom - a futon or platform bed. In Japanese design, this bed does not have a footboard or, sometimes, a headboard. It has an extended platform on which the mattress sits in the middle. It usually does not have box springs. It sits low to the ground and sometimes well away from all walls. Use all silk bedding in a single rich color to continue the Japanese theme (and to pamper yourself). Add several silk pillows to your platform bed to complete the effect.

Japanese decor also uses water. As the bowl of water with a single flower in it illustrates, water features do not have to be fancy or large, but they should be included to create the overall balance that is inherent in the Japanese decorating style.


If you have the room, and would like a larger indoor water feature, consider including a pond in which you can add a few koi (a colorful, decorative Japanese carp) and water plants. Koi do not grow larger than their environs can support, so you do not have to worry about them outgrowing your pond.

If you search around the internet for a few moments for some Asian style furniture ideas, you can often find a dresser with tea cups on top of it. Or maybe you glanced at a futon acting as a bed. This is a very notable feature of Asian interior decorations. Maybe you could place a dresser next to your door with a bonsai plant on top. Using the dresser as a shoe holder will make the room seem that much larger.

Room divider screens can be used in almost every room of the house. What makes them an outstanding home furnishing investment is the fact that they can be moved from room to room at a moment’s notice.


Their versatility as well as beauty make them attractive and well within a person’s budget--a best price home décor “must have.”


Continue this earthy motif to the living room. There you’ll find coffee and end tables carved and polished from the black and white, orthoceras-filled matrix that comes from Moroccan deserts. Plaques of specimens come in all sizes and include specimens ranging from ancient trilobites and brittlestars to polished ammonites and orthoceras. Prices have a wide range, too, so watch out!
