By now, we have all become familiar with the increasingly popular Scandinavian design and lifestyle trends. You might have been owned a Scandi bedroom, Nordic living room or IKEA kitchen. But recent years have seen the appeal of Japandi, hybrid style that blends Japanese and Scandinavian designs together, also known as Japanese Minimalism - the movement focused on clean and calm style that bring natural materials inside and make simple elements shine. The perfect fusion of the two centers around minimalistic yet highly functional designs, quality craftsmanship and handcrafted pieces.

To take maximum advantage of both worlds when bringing Japandi into your house, you should bring in the cozy feeling of Scandi design, use warm textures and soft accessories while maintaining the clean shapes of Japanese furniture.

1- Neutral

Neutral color schemes are at the heart of the Japandi movement. Both the Scandi and Japanese styles are inspired by nature.

2- Natural materials

Japanese design values the use of natural materials. Grass, reeds, rattan and jute are often used as well as different types of wood which is also a prominent feature of Scandinavian decor. Covering walls, doors, closets, etc. by simple wooden slats is a simple way to integrate this into your space. It hides clutter, allows privacy, and compliments a great color scheme.

3- Quality over Quantity

Similar to feng shui idea, a really important element of the Japandi style is orderliness. Less is definitely more here, and one could argue that a sense of serenity and calm is harder to achieve with a room full of clutter. Focus more on functional and long-lasting items and be more thoughtful about what you have around you. Your space will only make you feel good.

4- Craftsmanship

Sustainability is another popular element in the Japandi trend. By investing in well-crafted individual parts, you can buy quality and longevity for yourself. Japanese culture values the handicrafts and individuality of these designs, and you will be able to choose items for your space that are completely unique to you.

Japandi style is a combination of two styles: modern and simple Scandinavian and sophisticated and elegant Japanese interior design which will bring a truly impressive and charming space.

5- Green space

Japandi has a natural tendency to combine both styles so indoor plants are a must. Lush and leafy plants will bring in a natural touch while adding a bit of freshness to the space.

6- Neat

The clutter, lack of orderliness will lose the aesthetics in the space with minimalism. Therefore, the Japandi style requires the spaces to be neat. Get sleek and minimalist storage boxes and baskets to hide clutter and keep your home organized.
