The Zen style at a glance
Zen style borrows from Japanese gardens and temples to create a room for calm and meditation. Furniture sits low, close to the floor, and a tatami-inspired rug defines the space. Bamboo, stone and natural wood bring gentle textures, while a bonsai or a single plant serves as the focal point. Soft light filtered through paper slows the pace even further.
To adopt zen, simplify as much as possible and arrange the room around visual balance. Choose neutral tones such as beige, sand or sage, and natural materials. Hide screens and anything that scatters your attention. An indoor fountain or a single stone is sometimes all you need. With Redeko, one photo of your room is enough to see a zen version, with your walls, windows and perspective preserved.
Zen style is perfect for bedrooms, bathrooms and meditation corners, and sits close to Japanese and Japandi styles. It also works well in a small home office where you need to concentrate.
