Japandi style is a relatively modern design style that gained popularity in the mid-2010s. It emerged as a fusion of Japanese and Scandinavian design principles, which blends minimalism, functionality, and natural aesthetics. Japandi emerged as a response to the demand for minimalist and serene living while adding warmth and comfort from Scandinavian hygge (coziness) to the austere Japanese wabi-sabi (embracing imperfection).

Here's how to express your style...

In a Japandi home, interior details embrace serenity, functionality, and a connection to nature. Open airy floor plans with abudent natural lighting to outdoor views is the foundation of the design. Then, adding in simplistic geometric details like metal glass frames, wood slate ceilings, open floating shelving, sliding paneled doors, and arched entries, the space feels simplistic yet layered. 

Japandi interior finishes are soft, textural, and create a harmonious blend of natural elements. Light woods like oak or ash paired with richer woods like walnut or cedar is used for ceiling beams, flooring, or fluted wall panels. Limestone, stucco, and plaster walls with woven grass or wood caned doors provide a layer of texture to the space. Matte black detailing in window trim and hardware provide contrast.
