Kawaii Home Decor - Make Your Home Cute!

Don’t you just love the cute style of Japanese home decor, commonly known as kawaii? Kawaii means cute, and it encompasses everything from bright colors to adorable animal prints to all sorts of adornments. With these ideas, you can turn your home into something cute! Let’s get started!

# What is Kawaii?
# 
Kawaii is the Japanese word for cute or lovely.
Kawaii is a type of art that became popular in Japan and spread to other Asian countries. The word kawaii can mean different things depending on the context it is used in. It can be used to describe a particular type of drawing, an attitude towards life, or just anything that seems cute. 

Decorating your home with kawaii items has become a common practice as well. These items are usually soft and brightly colored. Other elements often found in these rooms include rainbows, flowers, clouds, bears and more. A simple way to incorporate some of these elements into your room would be by using them on curtains or bed sheets. You could also add some Kawaii desk accessories such as a cactus pen holder or rainbow pencils holder. Another idea would be to add my heart teddy bear pillow onto your couch so people who come over will feel welcomed into the space by its presence alone.

This room is all about the color pink, a classic favorite. The bed is covered with a cotton white comforter and pillow shams, but what makes this space feel so feminine are the curtains. They're made of a sheer pink fabric that softly flutters in the breeze from an open window. Against one wall sits a chest of drawers and desk where you can see some light blue [**Kawaii Desk Accessories**](https://kawaiimerchandise.com/collections/kawaii-desk-accessories).
