In this video, I continue my series of the most popular interior design styles with Japandi! Japandi is a very popular interior design style in 2021 because of it's calm simplicity. It is a beautiful blend of Japanese Wabi Sabi and Scandinavian Hygge, perfectly matched with simple, modern furniture and a neutral palette. This style to me feels fresh, contemporary, personal, calming and serene.
I give you a breakdown of the overlap between Scandinavian design and Japanese Zen to create Japandi, and I explain the benefits of this design style, tips on how you can achieve this look in your own home, and my favourites Japandi places to shop!

Fun fact: The scandinavian mid century furniture designers (and arcitechts) were inspired by Japanese aestethics. So in a way they were the first Japandi designers.

One of my favourites aspects of japandi is that there is such a focus on texture, so you get a muted calming colour palette, but the texture is comforting and still interesting and layered

A great “wood” for Japandi is bamboo imo. It’s both light and distinctly Asian, plus it’s very sustainable, which is definitely a core value in both cultures.

@Nick_Lewis 3 года назад

Very true - some of the photos have bamboo, but I forgot to mention it. Thanks!

@naturegirl321 3 года назад

The problem is that it’s a grass and often needs substantial glue ups so isn’t as strong.

@k.j.hulander2204 3 года назад

@@naturegirl321 as a floor option bamboo is great, it’s actually harder than oak. But you’re right that it’s more difficult to use for say furniture carpentry. It’s also worth pointing out that bamboo absorbs more CO2 than most trees and release up to 20% more oxygen. Plus it grows very fast and can be cultivated on nutrition-poor soils! (No I don’t have stock in bamboo lol)

@Venya9 3 года назад

I've been decorating Japandi not knowing it, it's nice to see there's a name for this mixed style. I'm Nordic and I love Nordic design, clean lines and natural materials but I've never really loved the "too" simple and light colour palette in Scandinavian style so I've been bringing dark, earthy tones to my interior. I really fell in love with Japanese interiors when I visited Japan. I really loved it when local brands collab with Japanese designers and bought my plates from a local Japanese woman who had this little store here (unfortunately not anymore). And of course I love Muji.

@user-xz9so8po6s 3 года назад

I am a Japanese living near Tokyo. I work for a Japanese paint maker. I am very happy to have you adopt Japanese design. I think that JAPANDI's design concept will be appreciated in Japan as well, so I would like to increase the color with such paints.

I think the practical element of Japanese low and simple furniture is useful for a small space too. When we would stay with my aunt in Japan in the summers growing up, she had a low table and we ate on pillows on the tatami floor. When we were ready for bed, the table was put away and replaced with futons on the floor in the same room for sleeping.

I live in Asia, and I would argue most of us live in apartments that are basically just concrete blocks 😂 but you can still absolutely include elements of Japanese zen while making them appropriate to the space.
