Bring the Japandi style to your interiors

A new home trend that we at Tapeso think is really cool is the Japandi interior style. This style is a wonderful combination of the clean simplicity of Japanese aesthetics and tranquillity of Scandinavian style. This is why this style is becoming increasingly popular for its minimalist and soothing look.

In this blog, we will explain exactly what Japandi means, what its characteristics are, and how you can bring this style into your own interiors! We will also give some tips on choosing the perfect rugs to match the Japandi style.

What is the Japandi style?

Japandi is a contraction of ‘Japanese’ and ‘Scandinavian’ and combines the best of both worlds. This interior design style is all about simplicity, functionality and creating a serene environment. The aim is to design a space that exudes calm and where every object serves a purpose. It is a style that fits perfectly into our busy modern lives, where we often look for a calming atmosphere in our home.

Japandi Colours

Now that you are familiar with the Japandi style, it is also nice to apply the corresponding colours in your interiors. The colours mainly used for a peaceful oasis are white, beige, grey, black and natural colours such as wood shades.

Japandi interior features

You now know what the Japandi living style is about and what colours you can use, now you can get to work at home to create your own Japandi interior. But to give you a little extra help, we list all the characteristics of the Japandi style for you:

1. Minimalism: At the heart of Japandi is minimalism. This means that every space is clutter-free and every object is carefully selected and has a purpose. Superfluous decorations are avoided, and a sense of space and openness is sought.
2. Natural materials: Both Japanese and Scandinavian styles have a strong preference for natural materials such as wood, bamboo, cotton and linen. These materials bring a sense of warmth and comfort to the home, while also being durable and eco-friendly.
3. Neutral colours: Colour schemes in Japandi interiors tend to be neutral, with lots of white, beige, grey and earth tones. These colours help to create a calm and serene atmosphere. Soft, natural colours can be combined with black accents for a modern touch.
4. Functionality and simplicity: Furniture and decorations in a Japandi interior are functional and simple in design. Each piece should be practical and contribute to the overall harmony of the room. Clean lines and simple shapes are characteristic of this style.
5. Green and organic shapes: Plants play an important role in Japandi style, as they bring a touch of nature into your home and contribute to the soothing ambience. Choose simple plants with organic shapes that complement the natural materials in your interior.
