Japandi interior design is the fusion of Japanese and Scandinavian interior design styles—the very name “Japandi” is the combination of the words “Japanese” with “Scandi.” The marriage of Japanese and Scandinavian interior design styles is one that makes sense due to their similar sense of minimalism, love of nature, and quality craftsmanship.
When it comes to Japandi style, a warm and welcoming space is the objective, along with clean lines and beautifully functional style. Utility matters just as much as aesthetic appeal in Japandi designs.
Japandi leans into the Scandinavian concept of hygge of bringing coziness into a home as well as the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, which appreciates finding the beauty and perfection within the imperfect.
This is why wood is such a featured material in Japandi styles, along with other natural elements that are intrinsically beautiful, if not uniform.
Japandi is a clutter-free design, much like modern or minimalist designs, which are also connected to Scandinavian design. It’s about creating a calm environment, and clutter doesn’t support that aesthetic.
The key to Japandi style is to design with intention. Practical and beautiful designs win out as they enhance the environment while reminding you to stay in touch with what truly matters.
Japandi is a very eco-friendly style, and that’s part of what makes it so popular among those who want to do their part for the environment.
Having originated from both Japanese and Scandinavian eco-minded sensibilities, Japandi carries a deep respect for quality materials, craftsmanship, and sustainability—disposable or throwaway designs do not fit in.
Japandi can also be called Scandi-Japanese, Scandanese, or Japanordic, though Japandi is the preferred term for the style.
