Japandi interior design style explained
Japandi
Japandi is an exciting trend for interior design. Combining two minimalist interior styles that have much of the same common ground perfectly uniting Japanese and Scandi home design.
This super interesting style is a fusion of the popular Scandinavian design and Japanese style coming together and so is called Japandi.
Using Eastern influence in this design to create harmony and balance. A modest, open plan and airy style in your space creates the Scandi vibe. And one style completely compliments the other.
As said in Edecor Trends:
“This style combines Japanese and Scandinavian, both being very minimalist and functional. The Japanese style, which is more elegant, is combined with the simplicity of the Nordic and creates something unique and sober.”
Japanese Wallpaper Style
You can use wallpaper to create a serene Japanese simplistic style in your interior decor.
I love this style as it straight away evokes a calming, zen like influence in a space.
The patterns inspired by Japan include:
- Good luck Koi fish
- Cranes dancing
- Washi paper
- Mori forest designs
Scandi Wallpaper Style
Scandi interior design is a modern and open style living. It lends itself to lots of clean lines and bright white space. However also incorporates many levels of texture such as timber, textiles like rugs, elements inspired from nature.
You try wallpaper designs with:
- Whitewashed brick
- Faux timber
- Light or earthy colours
- Textures like linen effect
- Tone on tone patterns
- Bamboo, paperweave or grasscloth
- Subtle leaf patterns
Japandi style wallpaper
In essence Japandi is a lifestyle rather than merely an interior design trend. It is getting back to nature and creating peace and a flow through the home.
With the use of a muted neutral colour palette you elevate the feeling of tranquility. Moving away from bold colour and pattern you can use earthy toned wallpaper. Texture is an important element for this style so grasscloths, sisal, bamboo and paperweave will be perfect to create a hand made natural backdrop.
