The "French Country" style and neutral color palette with some pastels thrown in is very popular over here.

My own style has definitely been influenced by this simple way of decorating since I moved to Japan. Apartments here are not so spacious, so it makes sense to keep things as open as possible. It's not always easy, though. In fact, I've got a lot of organizing to do this week ... summer clothes have to get put away to make room for winter duds. Better get on that ...

If you'd like to see more Japanese decorating trends, please visit Natural Life. Sure it's in Japanese, but if you're feeling adventurous you can poke around and maybe get inspired.
