Japanese-style wallpaper: gray, black and white take center stage!

To highlight the beauty of the land of the Rising Sun, Japanese wallpaper showcases a rather special color palette, as it only comprises non-colors! Namely: black, white, and gray. These shades, which all have the characteristic of being absent from the light spectrum, nevertheless all possess undeniable qualities:

• Black wallpaper will not fail to bring depth and character to your spaces.
• White wallpaper is ideal for boosting the brightness of rooms and, as a result, visually enlarging them.
• Gray wallpaper is guaranteed 100% timeless: once this color is on the walls of your house or apartment, there's no getting tired of it!

Of course, to be shown off, these non-colors love to be accompanied by more vibrant shades that will bring a nice contrast to your Japanese wallpaper. Red and pink on the side of warm colors, and blue and green for cool colors.

Japanese wallpaper for what style of décor?

Not surprisingly, if you want to choose Japanese-style wallpaper, it's because Japanese culture and style appeal to you – or you're already very familiar with it! If you want to implement Japanese-inspired décor in your home, know that the keywords of this style are: nature, minimalism and harmony. Forget about cluttered interiors saturated with all kinds of knick-knacks: in a Japanese-inspired interior, you keep only the essentials, and you eliminate anything that has no use and anything superfluous, because it tires the mind and prevents the optimal flow of energy in the rooms.

For the "nature" aspect, emphasize colors derived from natural colors such as brown, tan, green, gray. Favor wooden furniture, which in addition to being aesthetic and natural, allows you to create an authentic and serene atmosphere.

Among the essential décor elements of Japanese style, you can for example mention: bonsai (and plants in general), engravings depicting the sea, ceramic vases, mini zen garden, interior fountain, small Buddha statue, Japanese panels that allow you to play with light, and of course don't forget the futon!

Landscapes and animals: the flagship patterns of Japanese wallpaper!

While there are solid models, Japanese-style wallpaper is mostly a patterned wallpaper. And among the patterns most often represented on this type of wallpaper, you'll find on the podium:

• Les animaux emblématiques du Japon : la grue japonaise qui représente la paix, le chat (un animal adoré au Japon), la carpe Koï qui symbolise le courage, le papillon protecteur, la tortue symbole de longévité... A vous de trouver votre bonheur dans ce bestiaire haut en couleurs et en symbolique.
• The sea, synonymous with both tranquility and strength. The blue of the sea being part of the family of cool colors, it's a color that soothes and brings freshness to an interior.
• Trees, with obviously, first and foremost, the famous Japanese cherry blossom tree whose magnificent pink and white flowers announce the arrival of spring each year.

Whatever the pattern you choose, simply remember that for your décor to be as harmonious as possible, it is advisable to adapt the size of the patterns of your Japanese wallpaper to that of your room. Large patterns in a large space, and small patterns in a tight space.

In which rooms of the house should you put Japanese wallpaper?

Because it is fairly refined and sober, Japanese wallpaper can easily fit into any room in the house. Do it like this:

• A living room wallpaper to bring zen calm to your living space. In this case, don't hesitate to decorate your space in cool tones to accentuate the soothing side.
• A bedroom wallpaper: once again, the zen side of Japanese style goes wonderfully with the sleeping space.
  Bathroom or kitchen wallpaper: in this case, don't forget to choose a vinyl wallpaper model that is resistant to water and splashes.
