Tips For A Serene Japandi-Inspired Home
Japandi is a stunning design aesthetic that’s risen in popularity over the last few years. This interior design style is a gorgeous, harmonious blend of two (also trendy) styles – Japanese and Scandinavian.
This unique aesthetic takes inspiration from each – combining the minimalistic, earthy approach of Japanese design (think Wabi-Sabi) with the coziness of Scandinavian hygge. Japandi “teaches us to find the beauty in imperfection, form deep connections to the earth and nature, and enjoy the simple pleasures of life.”
We don’t know about you, but this is a home design style we can really get behind. And if you agree, you’re definitely in the right place. Whether you want to makeover your bedroom, bathroom, living room, or another space in your home, our list of tips and ideas can help you achieve the serene Japandi aesthetic you want.
cozy seating
Cozy seating is a must in Japandi interiors. While the focus should be on creating a minimalist aesthetic that’s calming and thoughtful, plush sofas and chairs infuse the space with subtle hygge vibes.
The soft, warm neutrals and rich wood coffee table also lend a comfy feeling to the space, maintaining the effortlessly beautiful and inviting yet functional aesthetic.
embrace simplicity
“This design aesthetic focuses on clean lines and open spaces.”
Embracing simplicity as much as possible will definitely help you create an authentic Japandi look. Clean lines and uncluttered counters, shelves, and walls are ideal for adding those tranquil, minimalist vibes.
Instead, create visual interest with a simple but stunning neutral palette and a combination of harmonious materials and textures.
spacious & inviting
Design an open, spacious interior for an inviting room with a natural flow. A sleek, light oak table is bright and airy. When coupled with soft and simple seating in earthy green hues, the result is a dining room that feels intimate but not small or cluttered.
We love the fresh flowers and other natural touches as the centerpiece here. These details work with the palette and aesthetic while adding playful shapes and personality.
stone accents
It’s no surprise that adding natural materials makes the list of ideas for Japandi interiors. A gorgeous stone wall with reed detailing and a clean, modern stone sink fills the room with so much texture and natural beauty.
The sandy beige of the stone above is ideal for a light neutral tone that’s soft and tranquil. It’s also a perfect backdrop for white accents and wooden shelving. A light, neutral marble or wood paneled wall will create a similar aesthetic.
thoughtful balance
Japandi interiors are all about balance – and this dining room has the perfect balance of neutral tones for a bright space that has depth and contrast.
Embrace wooden beams by staining them a rich, warm tone – allowing them to pop against a light, neutral palette and creating an industrial feel.
This idea can be applied to any space in your home with exposed wood beams. Alternatively, you can add beams or use built-in wood shelving and storage for a similar effect.
warm earthy tones
Neutrals are known for creating a calming atmosphere, but opting for warm, earthy tones is perfect for giving a bathroom a Japandi aesthetic. Beige walls add to the warmth here and provide a nice base for the wooden sink and brown tiling to pop against.
We love the range of shades above, giving the space a subtle contrast without taking away from the organic, cozy appeal.
If you want something with more color variety, adding plants is a great way to break up the brown tones while maintaining the earthy feel and adding Scandinavian flair. The simple houseplant above works in this space, but you can choose any size or variety of greenery.
simple artwork
Select artwork with a minimal, abstract appeal. These pieces can add beauty to the space via color and texture without introducing intricate details that detract from the aesthetic.
A white painting is ideal for the bright space above, although a beige or taupe piece would look stunning as well. You can also choose pieces with simple line art or shapes for a more complex approach.
