JAPANDI STYLE: THE JAPANESE-MEETS-SCANDINAVIAN DESIGN FUSION WE’VE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH
Warm woods meet neutral hues in this cosy Japandi-style living space.
Interior design styles come and go, but some stand the test of time. One such style that has been gaining popularity is Japandi — a harmonious fusion of Japanese minimalism and Scandinavian simplicity.
Japandi is more than just a trend. It's a philosophy that embraces the natural beauty of both cultures, creating a tranquil and balanced living space.
MINIMALISM MEETS WARMTH
This gorgeous sofa — similar to our Poltrona three-seater sofa — looks wonderful against this neutral grey wall and the wooden furniture, with the aesthetic warmed up with a throw and cushions.
At its core, Japandi interior design celebrates simplicity, functionality, and a deep connection to nature. It draws inspiration from the Japanese aesthetic of ‘wabi-sabi’, which embraces imperfections and the beauty of natural materials, and the Scandinavian concept of ‘hygge’, which emphasises cosiness and contentment. This blending of ideas results in spaces that exude a sense of calm, serenity, and balance.
Japandi design employs a less-is-more approach, focusing on clean lines and uncluttered spaces. However, it does so while infusing warmth through the use of natural materials, such as light-toned wood, bamboo, and rattan. Our reclaimed pine wood Balanar dining table , bamboo Mauden night stand , rattan Oviedo sideboard or Lain Lain day bed are all perfect for the Japandi design style, with their laid-back and organic aesthetic creating an inviting ambience.
With a strong emphasis on functionality, Japandi interiors are designed to optimise space and organisation. This style encourages the use of multi-functional furniture and clever storage — like a sofa bed — to create a more efficient and comfortable living environment. With that in mind, when going with a Japandi interior design style, select furniture that serves multiple purposes, for example our gorgeous , which boasts a cabinet, shelves, and a computer stand.

WHERE NEUTRAL MEETS NATURAL, AND IMPERFECTION IS CELEBRATED
A neutral-hued sofa stands alongside a three-legged wooden coffee table, bold artwork, and red flowers. Cushions and throws warm up the look.
Japandi’s colour palette is dominated by neutral tones, such as soft greys, earthy browns, and muted pastels. These colours not only create a soothing atmosphere but also provide an excellent canvas for introducing pops of colour through accent pieces or artwork.
Japandi design emphasises a strong connection to nature, with large windows that let in plenty of natural light, indoor plants, and nature-inspired decor — like our Monstrea faux leaf — all integral parts of this style. By bringing the outdoors inside, Japandi interiors create a seamless flow between the living space and the surrounding environment.
Keep in mind that, if you do want to house plants in your interior, they don’t have to be fresh. Today’s faux plants — like our Podocarpus bonsai, potted orchid, or potted alocasia plant — are wonderfully realistic. This is also a great way to bring colour into a Japandi interior. Consider sticking to a neutral colour palette for walls and larger furniture, then bring in smaller pops of colour through plants and flowers, cushions, throws, and wall art to create visual interest. We adore this Happiness by Harley wall art.
Don’t forget, embracing the imperfections in these materials — and even in your interior — is part of the wabi-sabi philosophy.
