What Houzz contributors are saying:
In the dining room: Japanese shoji screens are a wonderful way to let in the light without the sun's glare. It creates a peaceful tea-house ambiance.
Tearooms also feature a small, raised and recessed space — the tokonoma, or “place of beauty,” which serves as a design altar of sorts, showcasing a tearoom’s chabana arrangement along with a decorative scroll. The tokonoma is a centuries-old design element, but it’s still a perfect platform on which to display the traditional Eastern floral arrangement alongside a modern, personal design element, like a Western photograph or painting, to represent your home’s unique style.

If we have a wood ceiling, it should be like this, with sheets of wood veneer, not a lot of lines.
