Interior trend: Japandi

Japandi combines trend elements from both countries to create a distinct ambience. Sleek design and natural influences are tastefully interwoven with each other.

You can recognise this popular interior style by the following 4 characteristics.

SLEEK AND MINIMALIST

The basis of the Japandi style is very sleek and minimalist. The black, graphic and sleek lines play a leading role to create a clean point of departure. Combined with beautiful stylised figures, the Japandi feel is created in an instant. Birds in particular feature strongly in this setting and give that typical Japanese touch. Our Crane bird Paradise is a good example of this.

NEUTRAL SHADES

Sandy and grey tones, dusky pink and beige serve as the basis for the other elements. This creates that distinct zen feeling so characteristic of both cultures. Add a few bold colours like terracotta and brown and the Japandi colour palette is complete. We used this colour scheme for our Landscape Asia wall panel. An easy-to-make wall hanging instantly creates atmosphere in your home.

ORGANIC SHAPES

Soft, round shapes, curves, asymmetry - as long as its playful. The idea is that imperfection can be appealing. This certainly provides a pleasing contrast to the other minimalist shapes that are so typical. Examples of designs that work well in the Japandi interior are Body Line Art and Face Line Art.

SOFT AND CUDDLY

The teddy trend has been gaining ground for a while. Soft, cuddly fabrics, the softer the better, also work really well with the Japandi trend. They invite you to relax on the sofa and grab a zen moment. Not just furniture in the softest fabrics is a must, accessories such as cushions can make a big difference. Our latest Wool de Luxe* products have just the right feel for a soft, relaxing cushion. The neutral colours in particular are an absolute must-have in a Japandi interior.
