Best Home Ideas. Going Japanese

 Today's Inspiration is this stunning Maple in full autumn red splendour.  Invoking visions of Japanese gardens with carefully designed pergolas and meditation areas.  Japanese design involves careful planning of spaces with bold splashes of vibrant colour contrasting with strong dark lines.  Often empty space in Japanese design is as much a statement as objects and colours.  For an authentic Asian feel incorporate a kimono hung on bamboo as a wall feature.
