HOW TO ACHIEVE JAPANDI INTERIOR STYLE IN YOUR HOME

28 May

Japandi interior style is an infusion of traditional Japanese and Scandinavian design. They’re both similar, sharing a taste for minimalism. Scandinavian pieces are made with simplicity and functionality in mind. Japandi, on the other hand, adopts a WABI-SABI principle which means embracing things in its natural state. If you’d like to know how to adopt this design in your space, this article is for you;

CHOOSE LOW SEATS

It’s normal to see low seats in Japanese homes. It’s been said they prefer to have their seats as close to the earth as possible. So think low chairs, benches, and stools.

Make it stand out

Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

CHOOSE WOODEN FURNITURE PIECES

A Japandi space would most definitely have elements of wood in it. Feel free to mix light and dark shades together. Scandi designs are big on light wood tones while you tend to see darker shades of wood with traditional Japanese designs.

CONSIDER CONCRETE WALLS OR FLOORS

This stems majorly from the wabi-sabi principle of leaving things undone. With concrete walls, this gives an illusion nothing was done to improve the state of the bare wall.

DECORATE WITH HOUSE PLANTS AND TREES

Both Scandinavian and Japanese Designs love a good dose of greenery. Bringing in nature is at the heart of the Japandi design. You should never see brightly colored flowers in this type of setting. Just pure unadulterated greenery

FOCUS ON EARTHY TONES

Scandinavian relies greatly on white colour and light wood tones but the introduction of the Japanese Design allows for darker earthy tones to be used. So from the neutral browns and creams to the shibori blues and sun-bleached clay tones.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.

So is the Japandi Interior style up your street? It is for me only I’d want it for my office
