Japandi Family Room with a Low Oak Storage Console

Japandi rooms stay calm because almost everything has a closed home. The low console is the workhorse here: its slatted doors hide controllers, chargers, games and paperwork, while the top holds only a vase with a single branch and a short stack of books. When choosing a console for a small room, go long and low; it makes the wall look wider and keeps sightlines open. Lidded baskets next to the sofa catch throws and toys at the end of the day. Give each basket one job, and the whole room can be reset in minutes rather than an afternoon.
