That is Japandi
The term suggests it quickly: Japandi is a mixture of Japanese and Scandinavian living styles. Both directions combine a certain clarity and restraint – and yet they differ.
North meets East
A bonsai tree and a rice paper lamp? No, no, the Japanese furnishing style has a lot more to offer. The reduced look of the living style captivates z. B. through dark wood, filigree elements and Wabi-Sabi. Wabi what? In short, Wabi-Sabi is based on the concept of discovering beauty in the incomplete (or incomplete). Appreciating (old) things and concentrating on the essentials are just a few principles of this philosophy. And that can also be wonderfully applied to living!
Reduced, light and casual – Scandi Chic, Hygge and Lagom living trends create a homely atmosphere without being overloaded. Bright colors, cozy textiles and clear shapes are examples of these styles. Stylish and clean, but never cool, is guaranteed here.
A real dream team
In the Japandi style of living, both styles now meet – and form a real dream team! The bright colors and woods of the Scandinavian chic blend with the reduced aesthetics of the Japanese style. If you like it homely and concentrate on the essentials – without your home lacking the feel-good factor – Japandi is the right choice for you.
This is what distinguishes the trend:
- Natural tones
- Black accents (furniture or accessories)
- Simple, organic shapes
- filigree pieces of furniture
- natural materials (e.g. linen or cotton)
In the Japandi style of living, that counts conscious furnishing, that means, for example, a high-quality design classic rather than relying on lots of (unusable) furniture. Even empty corners are not a problem area, but a statement, á la "less is more".
This is how you set up your home in Japandi
You can also bring the Japanese-Scandinavian home design to your home: with filigree, functional pieces of furniture, with cozy natural textiles and colors to make you feel good.
