Japandi Decor Style Guide

Japandi decor guide: the blend of Japanese and Scandinavian design, with natural materials, calm palettes and low furniture.

Japandi combines Japanese wabi-sabi with Scandinavian comfort: calm, natural and beautifully imperfect.

Philosophy

Appreciate handmade imperfection, natural ageing and simple living. Fewer objects, each with meaning.

Materials and palette

Light and dark woods, bamboo, paper lanterns, stone and linen. Colours are muted: sand, clay, charcoal and olive.

Furniture and styling

Low-profile furniture keeps the room grounded and open.

  • Display one handmade ceramic per surface.
  • Use a paper pendant for soft diffused light.
  • Add a bonsai or a single branch in a vase.
