Less Stuff, More Space: Japanese-Inspired Minimalism
A minimalist interior is not just about “having few things at home.” It is mainly about a feeling of lightness, clarity, and calm that your home gives back to you every day.

In this article, we’ll look at how Japanese-style minimalism can also be applied to a typical home or apartment—and how Japanese panel walls and other shading systems can help you achieve it.
