Home decoration ideas for expats in Japan

Hello,

After moving to Japan, setting up home and turning your accommodation into your personal abode can be a great way to start off your new life and feel at home. We would like to know whether expats are keen on decorating and furnishing to warm up their space whether for the festive season or all year-round.

Upon renting a new apartment or house in Japan, do you redesign your accommodation to suit your taste? Are your choices influenced by price, climate, etc…?

Have you brought any interior decoration items from your home country or did you consider buying any once in Japan?

As an expat in Japan do you find it worthy to invest in home decor? Could you share what you have bought and perhaps some interesting places to shop for home decor?

How would you describe the local style of decoration? Have you picked up any item which reflects the local style?

Would you be inspired by the festive season to decorate and add a festive touch to your living space?

Thank you for sharing your experience,

Bhavna

One good thing about living in Japan is that there are 100 Yen stores all over the place. These stores such as Seria are full of items great for decorating an apartment as many of them sell Japanese themed goods. Daiso also has a large selection of Japanese themed items.
