Ten Ways to Use the new Japandi Interior Style at Home

Ten Ways to Use the new Japandi Interior Style at Home

By now, you’ve probably heard about the new Japandi Interior style, which combines two of the best styles–Japanese and Scandinavian. But did you realize that with just a little bit of planning, you could use Japandi style at home?

Canyon Ridge is a calming color that would work well with Japandi Style

Use calm, soothing colors

To really get the best out of Japandi Style, you need to choose colors that soothe. We enjoy talking about color, and if you don’t believe us, you might like this: Ten Best Colors of the year 2023. Of these colors, Canyon Ridge is very calming. Rustic Greige is another one that’s a warm neutral. Both would work with a Japandi interior style.

This beautiful Live Edge Teak Table (from Wayfair) would work well with Japandi Style

Natural wood furniture

Natural wood in soothing tones is best for the Japandi style. For instance, wood tables with live edges work well. For more ideas, here’s an article you might like: What is Japandi Style and How to Incorporate Into Your Home.

This 3M Fasara Washi (rice paper) window film is a staff favorite

Window Film and Japandi Interior Style

All the Obscure Opaque window films work with the Japandi Style. We also love the 3M Fasara Washi film which is the rice paper style. All of the new styles, even the darks & blacks could be Japandi. We’ve written about the dark window films and how to use them before. You might like dark and moody interior glass.

Upcycle and reuse what you have

Thrifting and reusing has become trendy lately. Why not join in? Go to your local thrift store (or shop in your own closet), but go with an open mind and see what you can find that’s Japandi style.

Use natural elements

Bring nature into your home by using a branch or flowers from the garden. Even during the colder months, there’s sure to be something you can bring inside.

Consider this beautiful Lamp from Etsy by Locaali

Lighting

Soft, soothing lighting is all the rage in Japandi circles. (It would have to be a quiet rage, though. More of a whisper rage.) The light fixture itself could be made from natural materials. Bamboo is great for Japandi style!

Simple linens and accessories

From bed linens to plants, all your accessories should be simple, functional, and calming. So that means saying no to pointy pointy leaves, but rather beautiful and healthy plants. Organic shapes are the best.

Consider framing a watercolor card. We love this one from Maricards on Etsy

Artwork

Don’t choose artwork that is jarring or friends say would “keep them awake.” Use the same soothing colors that you’d use for your walls and furniture. You could always find something you love on Etsy and have it framed!

Beautiful Japan Minimal Wallpaper from Happy Wall

Wallpaper

Scrolling around the interwebs, there are some terrific wallpapers that showcase the Japandi style. They’re peel and stick, so very easy to use!

Sustainability is key

Sustainability is the element that is woven through all the Japandi style examples we’ve seen.
