How to Design a Japandi Open Concept Kitchen in Foyr Neo

Initial Layout

• Begin by creating your base floor plan using either:
  • Wall tool for individual wall sections
  • Room tool for complete room outlines
• Add structural elements:
  • Position windows strategically for natural light
  • Place doors to establish traffic flow
  • Consider overall spatial relationship between kitchen and adjacent areas

Using Pre-made Components

• Utilize ready-to-go cabinets from the kitchen catalog for efficiency

Custom Cabinet Creation

• Switch to 3D mode and select the “Create New Product” tool
• Outline base cabinet footprint with rectangle tool
• Use push/pull to create depth
• Implement ruler tool for precise measurements:
  • Cabinet width
  • Standard heights (base cabinets: 34-36″, upper cabinets: 30-42″)
  • Countertop overhang (1-1.5″)
• Trace areas using pen or rectangle tool
• Use trim tool to clean up lines
• Apply offset tool for cabinet separation (standard: 1/16″ to 1/8″)

Specialized Cabinet Components

Ceiling-Height Cabinet

• Design full-height cabinet (84-96″)
• Use push/pull to create storage cavities
• Add glass doors with door frames and panels

Open Shelving

• Design shelves with “Create New Product” tool
• Shelf depth: decorative (8-10″), functional (10-12″)
• Maintain thin shelf profiles (¾” to 1½”)

• Create island base structure
• Ensure clearance (36-42″)
• Consider seating (15-18″ knee clearance), storage, appliance integration

Texture Selection

• Browse catalog textures
• Select light-toned woods (oak, ash, maple), matte finishes, and a neutral palette

Efficient Application Technique

• Apply glass material to both sides with slight transparency

Surface Treatments

• Apply light wood, natural stone, or neutral tile flooring
• Select wall textures that complement cabinets
• Adjust or hide baseboards for clean lines

• Switch to 2D mode for positioning
• Use ruler tool to mark fixture locations
• Switch to ceiling plan view to add fixtures
• Consider ambient, task, and accent lighting

• Select minimal, Japan style accessories

• Maintain intentional negative space

By following this technical process, you can create a stunning Japan style open concept kitchen that embodies the core principles of this aesthetic: calm spaces, clean lines, neutral tones, and natural materials. The resulting design will offer your clients both visual harmony and functional efficiency—hallmarks of successful Japan style interiors.
