We’ve been students of Japanese design all week, and so have the Remodelista editors. From their Lessons of Japan, we admired a Zen makeover of an LA bungalow, met a kitchen designer who says “smart people don’t want to add too much stuff,” and discovered small-space loft living is not a contradiction. What did they learn? “It’s high time we did some decluttering.”
