Have you heard of Japandi style? This trending interior design style fuses popular Japanese minimalist style with Scandinavian functional design. It's a beautiful blend of simplicity and intentionality to create a more calming and relaxing atmosphere in the home. Its popularity is rising due to the increase of uncertainty in the world by providing a sanctuary in the home through the use of natural materials and purposeful furniture and decor. We've collected up a few ways you can integrate Japandi style into your own home to design a space with "hygge" and simplicity. 

To Your Kitchen

Sleek lines paired with natural elements from light to warm wood tones create a kitchen with the beautiful Japandi style. Think about unadorned cabinets, hardware, and lighting to design your kitchen with a relaxing style. To keep your space from looking bland, add darker-toned features from concrete to painted metal to include a moody nature that complements the laid-back style Scandinavian and Japanese feature. Marble countertops create a beautiful focal point to your kitchen with the gorgeous natural design it ensues.

To Your Living Room

Designing your space with Japandi style can be quite simple, as long as you remember to avoid clutter and integrate neutral tones from grays, tans, and browns. You're welcome to add in color, just consider shades that are found in nature such as toned down blues and greens or muted pinks and maroons. Any color that exudes a peaceful vibe will help make your space feel more like a spa and give you the comforting feeling of home. For furniture, we suggest looking for items low in height and sustainably or locally sourced, which will give you the combination of Japanese simplicity and Scandinavian comfort. Add super soft and comfortable textures with blankets and pillows that will help you relax after a long day. 

In Your Bedroom

Only include items to your bedroom that create a relaxing nature and avoid excess, whether that be in tech form or having too many collectibles to your room. Adding a neutral rug around your bed gives the space a Japandi look while giving comfort to you as you get in and out of bed. For your night stand and dresser, opt for natural wood such as bamboo to create a lightness to the space, and make sure to keep your windows clean to bring in plenty of natural light during the day. If you're wanting to add a bit of decor, bring in plants, as Japandi style integrates nature through materials and plants in each and every way. Orchestrate in terracotta pots to add more warmth to your bedroom. 

To Your Entryway 

If you're looking to add Japandi interior design into a part of your home to experiment with it and see if it's your style, what better way than to introduce the style into a corner of your space, whether that be your entryway or mudroom? This way, you'll be greeted with it upon entry and decide if it's something that brings you comfort and happiness. Showcase a modern piece of art, natural elements with rattan baskets, and a cushioned bench for setting down your go-to essentials. Bring in a few plants from floor plants to small faux plants to add a bit of nature into the spot. Consider a Scandinavian-styled rug as it will add more texture and color that you might enjoy having in your space. Remember, functionality and comfort go hand in hand with Japandi style and you'll be golden.
