Comfort and simplicity in your home: JAPANDI STYLE

All of us want to have an interior in which we will enjoy and feel relaxed. The hybrid aesthetic that combines the comfort and functionality of Scandinavian design with the simple elegance of Japanese style, or simply Japandi, is still in trend. It is a natural connection between two cultures that privilege minimalism and serenity, and their differences also complement each other perfectly.

The Scandinavian concept of hygge goes rustic, using light wood, sharp neutral shades and simple layouts that can bring " earthiness " to the space. Japanese design, on the other hand, emphasizes warm, rich colors and an indoor and outdoor experience that allows the home to feel comfortable without losing its connection with nature. So these two styles are a perfect mix.

To bring Japandi design into your home, start with an intention. One of the main principles is to focus on beautiful, practical designs that are as aesthetically pleasing as they are functional. Every item in a home furnished in this style has a purpose, and everyday items are artful accessories in their own right.

Focus on simple, useful and effective decor. Japanese houses are restrained when it comes to color, but different tones can create a microclimate of the mood in the space. Stick to neutral hues, but include bright, open areas and darker, more intimate spaces to balance starkness and coziness.

Brown and beige are the basic tones, while gray and black create drama. Muted pinks, blues and greens can be used to accentuate meditative spaces and complement natural wood. Drawing on the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi (appreciation of perfection in imperfection), Japandi emphasizes natural materials and a deep connection with the environment. 

So if you like the balance and conciseness of the Scandinavian style, but you still lack a bit of contrast and a more prominent character, Japandi is the style for your space.
