20 WAYS TO ACHIEVE A MUJI-STYLE HOME
A home built on Muji philosophy is about minimalism in design and quality in living. Similarly to their ideation journey, we will always first ask, “What’s best from the user’s point of view?” After the complexity of the thought process, what remains are the clean and streamline designs of the final products.
Here, we take a look at 20 design executions by The Minimalist Society that are based on this simple (yet highly functional) design adage of Muji-inspired homes.
- Having a clean and white pristine kitchen for the Muji home is anything but ordinary. When done right, they become visually tidy and open up the existing spaces.
2. Bean bags are one of the most comfortable items you can have in a Muji home. Jazz up your living room with them and you can move your ‘sofa’ anywhere.
3. Being minimalistic and sleek looking, tracklights are a great way to light up the activity areas.
4. Make every inch of space count in your home. Having clever storage spaces beneath a platform bed helps to keep things neat and out of sight.
5. Create a Muji retreat at home by having a hint of Zen in every space. This home gives a sense of peace, balance and rejuvenation to the home owners from the interior design and furnishings.
6. A Muji home will be one that always have places to sit and relax. By purposefully organizing the living space, any home can still feel brighter and spacious within any given space.
7. If you would like to maximize your space in the master room, consider sleeping on a futon! During the day, you can easily pull out and unroll the futon to make space for other activities during the day. This is exactly what Japanese do to have very empty and open spaces in their rooms.
8. A layer of muted grey walls and timber-inspired looking tiles will create the perfect setting for this Japanese-looking home.
9. Create unique storage spaces in your bedrooms which could double up as a guest room or a reading corner to yourself. Part of leading a Muji minimalist lifestyle is about having ‘me time’, being authentic and putting yourself back on the priority list.

11. The beauty of these shoji inspired doors make great room partitions without compromising on light and give a subtle elegance to any space.
12. This Muji home has less, but more. Every element created should be uniquely designed to adapt the existing layout. The design and colour of the woodgrain cabinets lends an interesting touch in the living room and looks astoundingly charming against the natural light.
13. Muji living is also about having less chores and more time to yourself. If you enjoy cooking, you will definitely want a fuss-free kitchen design. We design these Muji inspired kitchens to be not only aesthetically pleasing, but of low-maintenance.
14. The Muji lifestyle is also about reducing your possessions to the least possible. There is an unspoken great pleasure in seeing tidy spaces around the home or enjoying the simple ease of cleaning.
15. A pendant light can help to break the usual boring lighting scheme. A suitable pendant light will help to provide the unique ambiance and mood to a cosy Muji space.

16. Adopt the Muji way of furnishing your home with thoughtfully chosen wooden furniture. The addition of these wooden furniture together with the right interior design will give the Japanese minimalist home vibes.
17. Muji living is about making any space more spacious and look better. A thorough space planning process will allow us to know how we move through our space which will then have a big effect on how spacious the home is perceived. Every movement makes perfect sense and flows smoothly in this abode.
18. A bright, airy open concept kitchen with crisp white subway tiles as the backdrop works well for this Muji inspired kitchen as well.
19. Nothing makes a bathroom more inviting and peaceful than having a soothing colour scheme. Stick to a neutral palette of greys, white or earth tone colours. Having a shower in a calm and cosy environment can be the best tonic after a long day of work and stress.
20. Design the Muji home with the end in mind to visually lighten the space. By spreading the visual weight of a space equally, it will be pleasing to the eyes where nothing is competing for attention or being too dominant.
A Muji-filled home is one that is soothing and calming for everyday living. It is therefore not difficult to see why many Singaporeans are drawn to it. Having a home well designed that complements the Muji lifestyle is the first step to achieving it.
