Japandi: A Blend of Minimalism & Hygge

What is Japandi?

Japandi (Japanese minimalism + Scandinavian hygge) is everywhere you look these days. Get the look yourself with perfectly imperfect décor and accents, functional pieces, and layers of natural materials. This light, airy look creates rooms that inspire relaxation and cozy vibes.

Japandi is the intersection of Scandinavian and modern Japanese interior design styles. Both styles focus on simplicity, soft hues, natural materials, and comfort. The focus is on warmth, natural elements, and muted color palettes. You won’t find ornate, gaudy detailing. Instead, shapes and lines shine in these spaces with functional yet aesthetically pleasing furnishings and decor.

Create Japandi interior using natural fibers, furniture made from natural materials, and even handmade pottery and decor. To style a room with Japandi in mind, look for these materials for upholstered goods and rugs linen, cotton, or flax blends. Rattan, Wicker, Cane, Bamboo, Wood plays a huge part in furniture designs. Look to Organic-Linen; Organic brushed cotton, Organic cotton muslin, and Velvet for textiles. Terra cotta, clay, glass, concrete, wood, plants, and anything handmade with solid colors, patterns, and muted color palettes for decor use.
