Looking for a peaceful and harmonious style to add Zen to your home? Minimalism is quite calming, Scandinavian design doesn’t disturb at all but the most peaceful idea is Japandi. Japandi, being the combo of Scandinavian style with Japanese minimal aesthetics, is a lovely idea for anyone who wants natural shades and textures paired with less is more principle.
What Are Japandi Style Features?
Soft Neutral Colors
Japandi is characterized with soft light neutral color palettes that are mostly warm-toned: beige and tan, greige and creamy, brown and taupe. It’s not as cold as Scandinavian or minimalist design and this is it’s main difference.
Textures And Lines
Textures are another must for a Japandi space as with neutral and quite monotonous color palettes you need something to catch an eye, and these will be textures. Stone, wood, wicker, jute, various textiles are welcome to add interest to the space. The lines should be natural, too, soft curves are welcome to highlight the natural feel.
Minimal Design
The design and furniture should be minimalist, sleek, simple yet refined. These can be handmade items that show off craftsmanship and last long being made of natural materials at the same time. Yes, they will be more expensive than usual furniture but still you won’t need many as this clean style is about not many pieces but functional and meaningful ones. Decluttering is also very important as this style is about minimalism and an airy feel.

How To Use Japandi Style In Dining Rooms?
First of all, consider the colors, they should be neutral, soft and warm-toned: beige, greige, tan, brown, creamy. Second, pay attention to the furniture that will create the whole look of the space, it should be refined yet simple, with sleek and natural lines and curves, of natural materials. Don’t clutter the space with furniture even if the dining room is big, stick to only necessary items: a table, some chairs, a credenza or a sideboard and so on. Provide texture with furniture: wooden stools, boucle upholstery, stone are welcome to add interest to the space. Get elegant light, perhaps wicker lamps, too. Make a gallery wall but a relaxed or abstract one in the same shades. Finish it off with a textural rug and voila!
