I have my grandmother’s broken blue coffee pot that broke. It was glued but looks awful. Where can I find this gold paint in Greece? I’m so happy I did not toss it.
I do love this style. It’s so calm and cozy. Comforting. My only problem is that I love so many styles that I have a hard time choosing a single style. 😳✌🏼
Be eclectic, choose your favorite main style and accessorize around that with other styles that maybe have atleast a common color, or texture, or metal even
Wow, you made me speachless, this is exactly how we designed our house, without even knowing there was such a blend! I told our designer that I love Scandinavian design and Wabi Sabi and I want to combine them in our house. And now I understand why I like both of these styles - thank you for making this clear for me🙏🏼
Ariel, love your presentation skills. Really enjoy listening to all the thoughfully rendered details of each style so far. Interesting history, art and home design that inspires me to personalize my own space. Thanks 😻
I loved learning about this interesting style - I hadn't heard of it before, and now I'm IN LOVE, it's so genius and multicultural! I would have honestly loved the video to be longer! Thanks so much for the presentation, Ariel!
I waited the whole video in hopes that you'd mention Japandi's more maximalistic/"Orientalism" sister, Japonisme. Sakoku was responsible for both styles' origins, in that while the ban was in place, the Dutch were one of the very few exceptions allowed into Japan. The Japanese had something called rangaku, or ‘Dutch learning,' which influenced many artists. Things of course took off around 1854, when the Convention of Kanagawa opened up Japan to other influences, but the Dutch were still the biggest, earliest influence. I'm smack dab in the middle of the two styles, as I personally lean more towards the style philosophy of Japandi, but then I lean more towards Japonisme's aesthetics. It's also why I love the Arts & Crafts Movement's style of furniture and details, (or Japan's parallel movement, Mingei,) as I view them as perfect fusions - every day objects were turned into works of art. Scissors became birds, candle sticks became milk thistles, even door hinges received loving detail. So I want to have all the house essentials and have them be beautiful AND functional, but with no clutter. It rules out the need for additional pieces in a room when the essentials are the aesthetics!
Holy smokes, Ariel is just amazing. I’ve watched all of these thus far but I think everything about this one I just love the most. Clearly her research and presentation skills and editing is just top notch. I love learning with Ariel! 😂💖💖💖 Personally, this is a cool design style. I learned a lot, and look forward to seeing how I can incorporate it into my own life and home.
I love this style. In fact I’d been doing this in my own home - natural materials in a minimalist way - as much as possible for a couple of decades now. Never knew it had a name. Thanks so much for the education as to why I like what I like.
I loved this! It’s also funny because the furniture also reminds me of mid century modern, but the vibes are definitely cottagecore. It’s interesting how they all have little things that overlap!
Your interpretation of this design was so well thought out. Japandi is one of my favorite interior designs. I love hearing you speak, Ariel. So glad that you are a big part of Wayfair. Oh yeah, and that miniature design FABULOUS!!!
This was so interesting, and I enjoyed listening!! I've learned quite a lot. Ariel, you are fantastic at leaning into to the history behind the style and design. I really love the Japan D style and want to incorporate more in my home. So glad I found this channel!
Found it!!! It’s what I’ve been trying to find for my life😅. I don’t have the words to put together to get especially my husband to understand! So now you’ve given me the words and pictures. Thank you, thank you, thank you
Definitely would love certain elements such as bringing in more nature, natural materials, a more simple setup. But I would incorporate more texture, a bit more color.
Great job Ariel! I have always found the mix of minimalism and natural textures and fibers soothing, and have aimed for that in my home. However, as I age I’m craving more color and am trying to find the balance of cottage style and the minimalism of japandi. I also think “Shaker” style shares many of theses elements. My grandmothers home was decorated “oriental” style, basically a mix of Chinese and Japanese furnishings. It always was a contrast to the “early American” style my mom preferred. Have I dated myself? So, I guess I may be trying to pair the spirit of two styles for nostalgic reasons.
Husband died, selling big house and building smaller and what I want. I have collected Asian art and furniture for years. This is much of what I planned and I think I will go with this vibe!
Your content presentation and video are amazing so professional so well put together. I’m so glad I found your channel Thanks a million for your great job
Loved learning about this style, it seems so calm and relaxed! I think I’d like to stay in a place decorated in the Japandi style and to incorporate elements of it into my own home ❤️
I live in a "japandi" apartment building built in 1958. The original plan and architecture of Tapiola, a neighbourhood in Espoo, Finland, took a lot of inspiration from Japanese aesthetic. (Geographically Finland isn't part of Scandinavia, but culturally and especially design-wise it is.)
That was a very interesting lesson. Your explanation and examples really brought the subject to life. I was especially intrigued by the China repair with gold.
It's a very interesting série : informative and so pleasant to watch. Ariel does a good job, a short but complete and deep presentation. More episodes to come?
I’m a new follower of your channel and I love the way you explain everything in details you are a natural, I would say yes to trying out Jepandi Style😊
This is my fav. interior style! I was so happy when I found this name back then. But I actually thought that name's meaning was mix of nordic and japanese interior, not scandi. But japanese+scandi=japandi make sense now.
I would love it! But I Inherited my parents house which it's more like traditional home. Which I'm Remodeling at this time and trying to incorporate few items here and there but since it has so many sentimental features I don't want to completely renovate everything!
I just got my couch btw the agent had commented over this idea …he had background in design studies…he said that Scandinavian said theirs’ is unique than Japanese..I went “Prides” …😂y I go about Chinese?( my middle name is Chinese)
I whold say that to just say Hygge is a bit misrepresenting the historical context in the Nordic countries. And i whold avoid the to just say scandinavia because it's lefts out Urisk (ie finish and sapmi) culture that also is important part of the Nordic countries culture heritage. And has played big role in what's "Scandinavian design" both through some what problematic inspiration but also through great artists and movements in Finland and Sapmi.
