This article presents a full‑house design project in Japanese style. Let’s take a look at this case together!
At the entryway, a custom wooden lattice screen crafted by a cabinet manufacturer visually separates the foyer from the living room. With a 350mm gap between the lattice and the door frame, a shoe cabinet can be conveniently installed, solving the issue of changing shoes right at the entrance; the countertop above the shoe cabinet provides a handy spot for bags, keys, and other small items.
In the living room, the walls are predominantly painted white. Looking from the dining area toward the living room, this wall stands out as the only colored element in the entire space. The three‑seater sofa upholstered in synthetic leather feels remarkably similar to genuine leather—breathable, durable, and easy to maintain.
Because the dining area is too narrow to accommodate a sideboard, overhead cabinets have been installed above the booth seating to maximize storage for tea, teapots, wine, and other essentials. Near the entrance, a secondary hanging area has been set up for quickly drying and hanging clothes upon returning home.
The kitchen follows a classic color scheme: wood‑tone base cabinets paired with white wall cabinets. Matte white tiles are easy to clean and create a cohesive, unified look without any jarring contrasts. Wood‑grain floor tiles run throughout, seamlessly integrating the kitchen into the overall space.
The master bedroom is long and narrow, so an L‑shaped wardrobe makes use of the available length, maximizing storage capacity. The headboard backdrop features minimal decoration, with a simple light‑colored paint finish that subtly distinguishes it from the surrounding walls.
The bathroom incorporates a dry–wet separation, but instead of using a shower screen, a curtain is employed to provide privacy, making it more convenient for elderly family members to bathe. The walls are finished with small white tiles, lending the space a clean, crisp appearance.
That concludes our overview of this Japanese‑style whole‑house design. If you enjoyed it, feel free to leave us a comment and share your thoughts!
