Three major spatial elements that characterize Zen style design

Japanese Zen style is influenced by Zen Buddhism, emphasizing that the space you are in can convey tranquility, nature and other quiet feelings, perfectly showing the beauty of the East. In order to integrate the natural landscape concept design into the interior design, the most representative ones are the gardening design and the tatami Japanese room. We have integrated the three major space design features of Zen style design for everyone:

  1. Space Element 1|Use lines to present a sense of calmness

Use simple line design to separate the spatial layering, such as through wooden grilles,shoji gateThe light and shadow changes caused by the light shining into the space give the overall feeling of orderliness, simplicity and restraint. Usually line designs are done on ceilings, light partitions, sliding doors, TV walls, etc.

  1. Space Element 2|Building materials and elements derived from nature

The Zen style design concept mainly comes from nature, so the building materials are also taken from nature, such as wood, stone, tatami, bamboo, plants, etc., so that the indoor and outdoor scenery can be integrated and the space can be extended. Popular indoor plants such as rich coconut, fiddleleaf fig, turtle taro, pine and cypress, etc., transplant the traditional Japanese garden landscaping indoors, exuding a strong Japanese style.

In order to match the appearance of natural building materials, dark and light wood colors are often used as the main tone, combined with gray and milky white. In the details, different materials (such as large mirrors and marble tiles) can be used to combine and collide to create a modern Zen style.
