A variety of things come to mind when you think of the Japanese style, from the art of origami and woodblock designs to elegant folding screens featuring paintings and calligraphy. You may have seen the series of 36 woodblock prints that Hokusai (1760-1849) made depicting Mount Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan. Japan is remembered today for its minimalist architecture and design. Why not, with Redditch blinds, add some Japanese style to your home?
How to do Japanese style with Redditch blinds
We may be based in Redditch, but we also look further afield to offer our customers the broadest option as well as being influenced by this glorious county. The Japanese design of blinds and curtains is absolutely fine. Here are some ideas for your house, ranging from cherry blossom fabrics to Shoji panel blinds.
1. Be inspired by Japanese cherry blossom
In Japan, Springtime conjures up memories of trees flooded with pink cherry flowers (sakura in Japanese). While loving their elegance, family and friends enjoy picnics together. There is also a Japanese term for cherry blossom observation, hanami, which translates as ‘viewing flowers’. You too will enjoy seeing a cherry blossom with blinds made of Louvolite fabric. New for 2019, cherry blossom comes in a variety of colours from red and yellow to a more monochrome colour palette in the fabric designs of Louvolite. For panel blinds, a great match, roller blinds or Roman blinds, these beautiful fabrics will work well.
Visit one of our Redditch Showrooms to see these striking designs for yourself, or book a home appointment. All the measuring, making and fitting of your blinds will be handled by Redditch blinds.
