Japandi design is a combo of Scandinavian functionality and Japanese minimalism to create a feeling of nature and simplicity. Each one’s aesthetics focus on simplicity, natural elements, and comfort, so it’s no surprise that we’re seeing more and more designers combine the two looks together. If you wanna try this design for your home, there are some things you need to know.
What Is Japandi Style About?
The perfect fusion of Japanese and Scandinavian, Japandi design focuses on minimalistic designs that are aesthetically pleasing yet highly functional. In a Japandi space you will see plenty of natural materials, muted colors, clean lines, and minimal, yet well-curated, furnishings.
Neutral colors and paint choices to complement Japandi furniture and accessories. Calming, tranquil, and peaceful palettes are typically chosen, and when brighter colors are incorporated, they are done so meaningfully and subtly.
Additionally, Japandi styles often emphasize sustainability. The prevalence of natural materials and simple designs makes it a great green decor style. Japandi styles feature beautiful craftsmanship with a focus on quality and handmade pieces over throwaway, cheap structures, and this is also a sustainable feature.

How To Decorate With Japandi Style?
As Japandi is the new minimalism, reducing clutter is key to achieving the Japandi style. This design aesthetic focuses on clean lines and open spaces. Even if you have a very active household, you may try to declutter with natural containers such as boxes and baskets, built-ins or folding screens to hide excess stuff.
Look for pieces that will stand the test of time and work with your decor for years to come, this style is all about sustainability. To get the best of both worlds, draw on the coziness of Scandi design with warm textures and soft pieces while maintaining the elegance of Japanese decor. While both styles have a focus on the utilitarian, it’s important to maintain a zen-like sense of calm in your space.
