These low tables also become popular in other parts of the world and many designers incorporate them in their projects. If you think a Japanese low table could suit your home, have a look at a few design options.There are no chairs around these tables because they’re very low. So place the table onto a fluffy, soft-textured area rug to increase comfort. You can also add a few floor cushions. These ones are shaped like biscuits and they’re really cute.It’s not compulsory for a Japanese dining table to be low.
It can be integrated into a nook with low benches surrounding it. It’s a table setup seen in Japanese guest houses.This Asian dining room has a very interesting design. It has a pop-up dining table that disappears into the floor when not in use. Comfy floor cushions are spread around it and the whole décor is very casual and flexible.This rectangular table is designed using the same principle. It stays hidden into the floor most of the time and this allows the room to serve as a flexible, multi-purpose space. It’s both a living and a dining area.This is a really interesting shape for a dining table. It’s designed to be comfortable to use by everyone around it. It’s a low table so instead of chairs there are comfy floor cushions around it.Nowadays a lot of Japanese homes adopt the western design in their kitchens and dining rooms. Here there’s a mix of influences. You have the low table to the right with floor cushions and the island/bar at the center.This type of dining tables that are actually sunken into the floor and can be tucked away when not in use is really practical and actually very popular too.
It allows an apparently empty room to be used for a number of activities, not just as a dining space.Minimalistic, casual and versatile, this table setup is really interesting and suitable for modern homes. The table rests on the stairs and has empty space underneath for resting one’s feet or storing the floor cushions.The chairs, if they can even be called like that, around this table are really interesting. They’re a combination between a floor cushions and a regular chair but without feet and with a low backrest.This type of low dining tables can also be used outdoors. This looks like a really inviting and pleasant outdoor dining setup, with matching table and seats and comfy white cushions.You can also have recessed dining tables outdoors and only have them pop up when needed, the rest of the time being able to use the area for other activities. There’s no need to find room for storage this way.Japanese low tables are excellent if you’re trying to create a relaxing, zen ambiance for the dining area, whether it’s inside or outside the house.
A green wall makes things even better in this particular case.Floor Furnitures: Japan-Style Dining Room Tables & Chairs Sitting on (or nearly on) the floor is a tradition that has gradually made its way around the world, and as this contemporary dining collection illustrates: the aesthetic has evolved as the idea has traveled. In fact, if one were to add some legs to these chairs – or take the table outside of a dinner setting – it would be difficult to say these sets were anything but European, despite being made by modern Japanese furniture company Hara.?Curved and simply-carved wood backs bring Prairie School and other forms of Early Modernism to mind, while optional armrests make conventional extensions.Cloth backs and floor cushions ease a diner into the experience, while curved surface edges along the length of the table are also a bit more forgiving should one have trouble slipping down and under to begin with.Zen furniture is simple and elegant. Create an atmosphere of peace and tranquility.

You use a kotatsu, which is a low table. It’s low enough that it’s the right height if you sit on the floor. Get a coffee table which is that height, or just get a kotatsu. (In the winter, you’ll attach blankets and turn on the heater underneath, and it’ll be really nice.) Then, either use no chair, or sit on a cushion—Japanese cushions for this purpose are called zabuton—or use a Japanese-style chair meant to be used on tatami, with no legs.
I feel you, OP.When I first moved to Japan, my rental apartment was also tatami floor (and shared bathroom). Every time when I tried to sit like a Japanese (seiza) on the tatami or cushion (zabuton) for more than 2minutes, I felt like millions of ants marching on my legs. And from the fifth minute, I no longer felt my legs. I would need someone to “rescue” me to stand up when leaving, and I could not help groaning because of my numb legs and feet. Oh I hate to be such a silly “gaijin” (foreigner)!Later my Japanese friend helped me find something like this from a furniture store.At least I could stretch my legs all the way I like.Carpet+ low table (kotatu style) + legless chair/sofa= comfy!I eventually built my comfy nest in Japan.One hot summer day, I was invited to my neighbor’s room (next door) to enjoy her handmade tea pudding. The moment I stepped into her room, I felt obviously her room was cooler than mine. The AC was off. The room was exactly same to mine (in same building, same direction).
I stretched my fare feet (I got to know it’s totally not necessary to keep that tough kneeling “seiza” position if you don’t feel comfortable. Japanese people would never blame foreigners sitting “messy”.) on her tatami mat which gave my skin a totally different and cool touch. I smelled this straw scent of tatami. I heard this wind bell whispered “Dingling-Dingling”.All cooled me down.I experienced another kind of comfy.Later I started to try Japanese tatami style hot spring spa hotels (onsen yado). After enjoy the fantastic bathtub, I put on the summer bathrobe (yukata). I lie down on the tatami, every inch of my skin immerses in the tatami scent and touch. I gaze into the distance. My bare toes play with each other. I drink cool cocoa milk. I hear the birds, the spring, and my own heart.You know what is heaven?I left Japan for a long time.I miss the tatami scent and touch badly.I dream to exchange my current full furniture room for a room like this:I love to build a comfy nest.
I love to sometimes leave this nest for a dream land too.We can enjoy both, can’t we? ^^And thanks for the A2A, Ankit.(Images from the internet)First and the obvious solution is to push your own limits and learn to live on tatami, without chairs. There's a good chance you will find this way much more comfortable and verstatile than a standard western layout.Another, workaround solution is to put a large, thick, soft pieces of something on the legs of your chair and table. This will make your owner unhappy in any way, you will not learn to live on tatami but it will solve the problem.The choice is up to you.There are covers for table and chair legs you can buy at a ¥100 shop, but even still, they will probably end up damaging the tatami in time and you’ll have to pay to replace the tatami when you move out.You could try buying some kind of covering for the mats, such as a rug, but even that won’t be a guarantee that the weight of the table/chairs won’t eventually damage the tatami.
