Fans of these two styles will find the perfect solution to their dreams with the Japandi trend, the perfect fusion of Japanese and Scandinavian design. This hybrid look is set to become the latest home interior trend, creating a distinctive mood as it aspires to evoke the timeless spirit. Discover with us all the secrets of Japandi style and turn your home décor into something fit for a magazine cover.

1 > Minimalism:

With a touch of audacity and new rules, two styles that appeared to be poles apart quickly melded together to revolutionise home interior concepts. The point of convergence was to be minimalism, which both styles share. Japandi pushes the notion of ‘less is more’ to its limit to create an ambiance of peace and tranquillity in your home.

2 >Neutral colour scheme

The Japandi style is founded on the perfect melange of the cool hues of Scandinavian interior design and warmer Japanese shades. The result is a harmonious, natural ambiance that invites you to make the most of every corner of your home. The blend of pink tones, mint green, grey and white combine perfectly with a varied palette of browns.

3 > Natural Materials

If you want your home to breathe Japandi style, you need to pay attention to the materials you use for your furniture and the fabrics you choose, which must transmit a feeling of purity and warmth in equal measure. Wood, ceramics and bamboo are therefore the ideal choice for both the furniture and the decorative accents. Decorate the walls with wallpaper and adorn the room with paper lamps. Rattan is also an excellent option, often the material of choice for chairs. Lastly, do not forget to use fabrics such as cotton, linen and other natural fibres to turn your home furnishings into the pinnacle of Japandi style.

4 > Indoor Plants

The colours and materials aren’t the only aspects that Japandi décor has borrowed from the natural environment. Decorating with indoor plants plays a vital role in bringing a touch of light and vibrancy to each room. The key point here is to focus on quality rather than quantity. We are not suggesting you fill every room with plants, but instead we recommend positioning them strategically around the home. 

All these attractive features means that Japandi décor is becoming ever more fashionable among interior design experts. So what are you waiting for? If you like this style, don’t hesitate to take on board these tips.
