The distinctive refined color palette and laconic shapes of traditional Japanese Home Style meet extraordinary design solutions in these three inspiring home concepts. The most seductive of our three interior examples, our first Japanese home design is large and luxurious. Many traditional elements of Japanese design come to the forefront here but above all with a creative modern twist. Our second concept is layered with contemporary craftsmanship and a reimagined classic to achieve an elegant combination of style, class and sophistication. Our final tour takes place inside a compact modern home where unique and strange pieces bring a fresh and fun atmosphere. Prominent silhouettes build a sculptural thread between elegant Shōji displays and fashionable motifs.
The large and luxurious living space of our first Japanese home interior has end-to-end glass across opposite aspects. The frontal openings create a pure stream of nature from the solar garden in the south to the shady narrow courtyard in the north. When the glass is removed, there is a happy flow of air for an outdoor experience under a cool cover.
Tea room design occupies the same space as the living room. The tea table rises shallowly from the wooden floor, in a Horigotatsu table fashion that allows legs to be extended in a niche below. The traditional concept gets a modern twist with sharp lines and an elegant style.
Genuine tatami mats line the bedroom and living room, which not only adds softness underfoot but serves to soften the acoustics of the large and high room.
The dining room doubles as a home library with built-in bookshelves along the entire wall.
Teppanyaki layout makes dynamic sociable setting.
An inner courtyard is surrounded by terraces on three sides, offering places of sunlight and shade.
There is another, smaller yard attached to the home workshop so that the homeowner can feel as if they are in the serenity of nature even while working.
Outdoor overhead lights cast a golden glow over the wood-clad home exterior and over wooden overhangs that surround the courtyards.
The master bedroom is a zen inspired design with a close and tangible connection to the courtyard. The bed design is a unique frame with attached shelves and a fixed home workspace behind the headboard. Large-format, black stone tiles extend along with the bedroom to an open plan ensuite.
Inside the en-suite bathroom, a beautiful wooden bathtub shines in the sunlight.
A matching wooden bench is lined up along with the tub, creating falconry for clothes and toilets.
A hot tub lies between rocks to achieve a natural look.
In this modern Japanese interior design, a padded modular sofa crosses a floor of traditional tatami mats.
The most striking part of the open plan living space is two boldly oversized dining hangers. Despite their sheer size, their white paper shades give them a light aesthetic that complements Shoji screen doors.
Linen table runners dress a simple wooden dining table.
A shallow fruit bowl makes an understated table top. See more ideas for modern fruit trees.

A sense of serenity gently flows through these two modern Japanese interiors, one large and luxurious, one small and neatly shaped. A soft palette of cream, ivory, beige and light wood tone creates a calm cohesion.

The Peaceful Joy Of The Japandi Aesthetic

The peaceful joy of Japanese aesthetics shapes these three modern home interiors, forming cohesive living spaces, bedrooms and bathrooms. The combination of Scandinavian and Japanese decorative elements evokes a welcoming atmosphere that springs from warm neutral and natural materials. Practical arrangements are designed to serve and enhance daily life at home, ensuring easy operation and general tranquility. We will visit one family home full of natural light and soothing wood tones that also inspires a compact shared nursery. Later we arrive at a luxurious studio apartment of a couple with a quiet fusion of international and Japanese styles. Lastly, we will end up with a simple and elegant home with comfortable layers for quiet access.
Sunlight fills a double-level living room in our first Japandi-style home, creating a sense of positivity and well-being. The wooden platform base of a Japanese sofa perfectly matches the raised floor section to build one elegant line. Chabudai table and Zabuton floor cushions occupy the high position, with an elegant bookshelf providing an attractive and useful background.
The brown leather sofa warmly blends in with an abundance of natural wood elements in the room. White walls and bold black accents separate the wood tone into a fresh Scandi-style check.
A modern coffee table puts a geometric silhouette over a striped rug design. The strips complement a spidery media unit and a wooden spidery circular motif that adorns a cabinet with an elegant Japanese feel.
The open layout living room flows into the kitchen and dining room.
White and wooden cabinets make up the L-shaped kitchen layout. The two-tone design visually separates most of the kitchen into lightweight floating volumes.
A change in floor covering defines the home entrance from the rest of the open concept. Striking black and white tiles lay drawn under a wooden lath entrance bench and a welcome mat “Home Sweet Home”.
Backlit bookshelves add atmospheric mood light to the home entrance.
The dining table is a built-in design that incorporates a large planter, bringing greens to the indoors. The dining chairs are the Armchair designed by Pierre Jeanneret.
Small dining stools provide the opposite side of the table to allow clear access to the oven housing.

A collaborative workspace for children completes the opposite side of the room. See more great ideas on shared children’s rooms here.
A pin wall provides an adjustable shelf above the children’s cabinet for light decorative pieces, while a large bookcase on the adjacent wall weighs heavily.
In the master wardrobe, the vain table is positioned to look through a wooden country wall into the bedroom.
Lighting the closet adds a soft mood light to the soothing white bedroom plan.

TwentyTwentyone’s hanging light Hotaru Buoy communicates the homeowner’s love for traditional Japanese paper lanterns.
The hanging light from the dining room is the hanging lamp Lámina by Santa & Cole. Arch chairs, designed by South Korean studio Finder, even echo the round lines of light.

The Peaceful Joy Of The Japandi Aesthetic
A Peaceful Japanese House Surrounded By Greenery
Do you like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
Abundant greenery surrounds this peaceful Japanese house in Hiroshima city, created by Hayato Komatsu Architects. The house belongs to its designer, who embraced the irregularities of the site, which is shaded by a large tunnel and retaining wall that penetrates Mt. Eba. At first glance, the site and surroundings seemed undesirable. However, the dense greenery, which overflows from the landscape, takes away the typical urban atmosphere. Instead, the obscure location has created an opportunity for home design that connects the luxurious environment with modern architecture. Living spaces were raised 4m above ground level to look at the view, where a complementary relationship between the new garden and surrounding specimens comes together as one spectacular scene.
The intricate exterior of the Enami house and its multi-level garden overshadow the landscape of the southwestern part of Mt. Eba.
The union between mountain and architecture changes the urban landscape as it embraces the spreading surrounding greenery.
Constructed in an arc, the architecture eoesas the rise of the mountain, and the cavity of the tunnel, that crosses it. Elevated gardens reconstruct the spill of plants over the mountaintop.
The unique home design successfully extends the beauty of the natural landscape instead of interrupting it.
The front entrance is placed inside two of the highest fins that form the vertebrae of the house. The fins protrude forward to build privacy around the door and windows of the house, and create shade from direct sunlight.
In the modern Japanese home, we find a light-filled open layout that unfolds under the warmth of exposed wooden ceiling beams. The airspace was designed as a place for a family to gather and spend quality time together.
To connect the hall with the best views of the surrounding environment, the hall had to be raised more than four meters from the ground surface. Entire glass walls open the living room to the green panorama of the mountainside.
A terrace was built around the second floor boundary, on which lay a plant-filled boundary defined as the “garden” of this extraordinary home.
The garden terrace is where the relationship between environment and architecture really takes over, as the view of the garden overlaps with the farther panorama to form the perception of a deep landscape.
The elevated garden has a gantry structure of different depths. It protrudes in a southeasterly direction, where the trees become sunlit. The branches grow a soft screen between the interior of the house and its neighbors.
The living room is soaked slightly below the height of the terrace floor, which gives it a pleasantly covered atmosphere. An L-shaped sectional sofa pulls around the edge of the living room, under the glass. Relaxing two-tone upholstery connects with the cool gray concrete decorative elements and the square coffee table, while a brown leather section completes the warm wood tone in the room.
Black steel window frames and black powdered balustrade compensate for the bright golden warmth of the wooden elements.
An inviting red carpet surrounds the living room, defining it from the adjoining kitchen and dining room.
Built-in shelves climb up to the high ceiling, providing plenty of space for books and treasure items to be stored.
A crowd of planters scatter through the second floor terrace, adding abundant layers. Storm lanterns glow softly among the low hanging leaves at night.
Behind the kitchen island, a wall of glass cabinets reflects the sunlight and the garden view.
A glass vase brings a branch of garden greenery to the simple dining table layout.
An industrial style gives the home a contemporary edge.
Every small corner of the home is inhabited by vegetation. A hanging planter adds greenery to the small powder plant, and a container of falling leaves softens the void that vertically connects the entrance to the second floor.
Ceramic vases and decorative bowls adorn the top of the industrial kitchen design with interesting silhouettes and texture.
Darkly tinted glass doors hide kitchen clutter from the naked eye.
The sliding glass doors open to the end to facilitate the kitchen accessories during meals.
Modern fruit bowls bring color to the counter.
Solid wood steps build the base stairs, while open metal steps allow light to penetrate the upper half.
The bedrooms are located down on the shady ground floor.
A family bathroom is located next to the private rooms.
The bedrooms are minimalist spaces in which to rest, sleep and peacefully rejuvenate. Church windows keep the bedrooms completely private from the street.
Family time flourishes where there is light and nature.
Blue bedroom accents just connect with the skyscraper that overlooks the tall windows. Recessed shelves are also installed high in the walls, keeping visual clutter raised away from the beds.
A large home workshop benefits from the raised green views, with the desk set against a large window.
An entire wall of windows brings sunlight spilling into the rest of the home office, where a modern chair is set up to rest.
Bird’s eye view of the property in its built-up urban surroundings.

A Peaceful Japanese House Surrounded By Greenery

A Modern Japanese House With A Serene Courtyard
Do you like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
A unique segmented layout defines this amazing Japanese home, belonging to a couple and their three children near downtown Shunan, Yamaguchi County. Designed by Hayato Komatsu Architects, the rooms of this unique home are sectioned into boxes around the edge of the site. Glass corridors tie up the volumes as they take on the green beauty of a large and serene central courtyard, as well as several smaller yards. The design was formed to realize all the wishes of the client without completely overriding the scale of the 807.03 square meter plot and the surrounding residential environment. The result is a space with a sense of unity and a deep connection with nature.
A steel enclosure door waits at the end of a short path that leads into the property, just off the main road. The modern door matches a frame of steel windows, which increases its scale and size.
The main main entrance door for guests is housed inside a wooden tin enclosure that extends to the roof line to increase its warm and text effect. The cool gray exterior of the home creates a tonal contrast that pushes the eye to the welcome entrance.
Glass roof panels let the blue sky into connecting corridors that connect each volume of the unique home design. Glass walls open the corridors to the courtyards, which bloom on both sides.
Once through the narrow glazed corridor, a huge living space opens up with towering ceilings. Huge windows bring natural light flooding over the rich wood tone and gray brick interior. Tailored bookshelves stack decoration up to the roof.
The two-story lounge puts a small, casual dining room into the lower half of the layout, while a luxurious lounge tops. A chic modern L-shaped sofa divides the upper floor between the living room layout and a formal dining room at the back.
A rectangular coffee table is located in the center of an understated gray carpet that balances the gray tile floor treatment in the tiny dining room.
A bistro pedestal table sets up the secondary dining room as a place for tea and light snacks.
Three steps down gives the area a pleasant, intimate feel that is enhanced by the presence of a wood burning fireplace.
Surrounding courtyard views bring nature rushing to the airy living space.
An outdoor seating seat lies in the welcome patio design. Free installation of wooden ceiling panels flows from inside the living room to the shaded overhang outside.
At night the courtyards light up to preserve the magical panorama.
The L-shaped volume pushes the kitchen layout just beyond the corner of the living room, giving it an unobstructed view of the luxurious courtyard.
A breakfast bar returns to the next connecting corridor from floor to ceiling glass. Three kitchen bar stools let the children contribute to dinner.
Wide expanses create the feeling of walking outside.
A stone walkway in the manner of a garden path was carried out inside the house, to rebalance an area where there are no exterior views.
In the main room, a thin floor-to-ceiling side window and a clerestory window ensure privacy. Furniture is minimal, with only a platform bed, bedside table, desk and IC F 2-style lamp. La original IC F 2 was projected by Michael Anastassiades for Flos.
Home library is secretly hidden.
The library also serves as a music appreciation room, with heaps of CDs and a sound system.
Shoji doors add traditional Japanese elegance.
The doors are pocketed in a deep wooden frame.
Even the bathroom overlooks a courtyard.
The courtyard next to the bathtub is elevated to improve the view.
Exposed wooden ceiling beams add a bold visual interest.
Authentic tatami mats dress the floor.
The material palette remains cooperative throughout the home.
Graceful shrubs soften the fort home exterior.
Wooden slat panels examine the connecting footpaths.
Rocky borders plume the paved driveway, leading to green shrubbery and trees that give only a slight taste of the natural bonds that surround the rest of the household.
Exterior lighting gently illuminates the plants and the welcoming front entrance door.
The secondary front door is gently obscured by small trees.
The central courtyard gives the segmented dwelling a general sense of unity.
Each yard differs in scale, sunlight and height, creating different experiences as one moves through the house.
The site of 807.03 square meters holds a building area of 444.59 square meters, resulting in a total floor area of 471.24 square meters. A parking garage holds up to four cars at the front of the building.
The final layout of the rooms was decided by imagining many everyday situations and likely future lifestyle changes.
