Japandi style interior

Japandi is a new trend in interior design, present in Poland for several years. It combines Scandinavian functionality with Japanese minimalism and simplicity. The common denominator of both trends is moderation and naturalness. One could even go so far as to say that japandi is a lifestyle, similar to Danish hygge. This term covers the love of simplicity, natural objects and materials, as well as subdued colors.

Japandi is comfort in a pure, unforced form, and at the same time, sublime elegance manifested in the careful selection of furniture, equipment, and accessories. There should not be too many of the latter. Both the Scandinavian and Japanese styles give up on excess things. They value economy of form and practicality. The interior of a Japandi should be bright, uncluttered, with the right amount of free space. How can you achieve this effect in your home or apartment? This article will tell you how to match furniture to a Japandi-style arrangement. We will also suggest where to look for the perfect accessories and what color scheme of the interior will work best. So get to work!

Japandi style living room furniture

At the outset, it is worth emphasizing that it is enough to introduce a few changes to the current arrangement of the living room to give the interior a Japanese-Scandinavian style. First of all, you should give up flashy colors - this also applies to furniture. Patterned wallpaper and a colorful sofa will not be the best choice. Instead, go for subtle beiges, light browns, grays and whites. Furniture in the color of natural wood will work perfectly. However, give up massive wall units in a dark tone. A light shade of artisan oak will add lightness to the interior.

The BERAM collection is an example. Illuminated display cabinets on high frames will not overwhelm the space. A low, simple-shaped coffee table will fit perfectly into the Japandi decor. This model has a storage compartment and a shelf under the top, which will make it easier to store small items. The set also includes an RTV cabinet with plenty of storage space. In the BERAM collection, you will also find other elements, including spacious chests of drawers. The whole thing is made of high-quality laminated furniture board. Each piece of furniture is equipped with a metal frame with slides.

Another interesting proposition for a Japandi-style living room is the NUBI furniture in a shade of cashmere. This extremely cozy and at the same time sophisticated set will work wonderfully in the living room. The set consists of a chest of drawers with drawers, a coffee table with shelves under the top, two shelves and a chest of drawers for the TV. The furniture uses a push to open opening system. The metal legs in golden beige perfectly match the cashmere fronts. In the NUBI collection you will also find other elements. The whole thing looks extremely light. The furniture is easy to arrange and works well in small spaces. They optically enlarge and brighten the space, which is especially important in the case of small, tight rooms.

Natural decorations

The fewer decorative motifs, patterns and ornaments, the better. Accessories are present in japandi arrangements, but you should limit yourself to a few. The most important thing is harmony that promotes calm. Excessive decoration disrupts symmetry and introduces unnecessary chaos. Knick-knacks should be made of natural materials, such as rattan, wicker, bamboo, solid wood, sea grass or linen. Elegant ceramic products will also work great. Low seats, screens, baskets and storage chests are welcome in arrangements of this type. A handmade blanket should rest on the bed and a bamboo wall hanging on the wall. Accessories in subdued colours will add the right character to the arrangement.

In projects inspired by Japanese-Scandinavian aesthetics, plants cannot be missing. The green of live flowers, vines and trees is most recommended here. You can place decorative twigs or other dried decorations in a vase. Create a substitute for a Japanese garden in your home, where you can relax after the hardships of the day. When choosing accessories, remember that beauty should go hand in hand with practicality and minimalism.

Multifunctional furniture in a light version

Japandi style is all about simplicity and practicality. Multifunctional furniture will be the ideal solution here. One of the proposals of the Furnitop.co.uk online store is the beautiful JAKARTA coffee table with a natural rattan top and solid wood legs. This piece of furniture is the quintessence of the Japandi aesthetic. It combines almost all the features of this style. It is light, made of natural materials, and what is more, extremely practical. The coffee table will come in handy in the living room right next to the couch or in the reading corner. It can act as a bedside table or a side table wherever you need it.

Light and cozy

A relaxation area in the Japandi style is a luxury that everyone can afford. Low benches and seats will work well in this type of project. The floor plays an important role, so it is worth choosing natural boards or tiles or panels imitating wood. A light shaggy rug or a round bamboo rug will fit the arrangement. The beige KIMO corner sofa with rounded shapes will look great in the relaxation corner. This minimalist piece of furniture is also distinguished by its original design. It has rounded backrests, seats and sides. It guarantees the highest comfort of use. The sleeping area is 133x220. The sofa also has a container for bedding. All you need to do is match the wooden coffee table (the JAKARTA model will work perfectly).

In an elegant space maintained in the spirit of Japandi, the functional TOMMO corner sofa will find use, equipped with an unfolding support, a bedding compartment and a backrest lifting mechanism. The legs are made of natural beech. Granada upholstery fabric is available in many color variants. Beautiful beiges and grays will fit wonderfully into the decor of a spacious, slightly austere living room. The corner sofa has a sleeping function. After unfolding, it offers a surface measuring 190x130. With its help, you will arrange a stylish living room with a Scandinavian-Japanese twist.

Some arrangement tips:

• Japandi style likes natural light and space, so open the window and give up heavy curtains or other window decorations; let the surroundings outside the window be an extension of your living room
• discover wabi sabi – find beauty in imperfection (old wooden paneling, brick wall, stone countertop)
• go for utilitarian design – choose beautiful but functional items
• don't forget about hygge - take care of the comfort, safety and warmth of your home
• austerity, but coziness – japandi loves rounded forms (vases, furniture, figurines), which make the interior more harmonious and at the same time cozy
• you can break the bright colors of the arrangement with small accessories in dark tones (for example, a wooden table on black legs, cabinets with dark handles)
