In our daily routine, we are bombarded with so many things that can make us feel overwhelmed. But when you come home you want to have space that uplifts you, space that makes your mood calm instantly. There comes a new style of architecture – that is Japandi Interiors.
You will find meaning in this design style, meaning in less and from there less becomes more. Japandi, a style of living that combines two styles i.e., Japanese and Scandinavian. A clean, clutter-free, and serene space is what we all deserve. So, let’s see how you can introduce Japandi interiors to your home.
1. Introduce Soft and clean furniture
Furniture is a great part of a home that’s why you need to pick an item of soft, clean furniture for your home. This will reduce the visual weight of the space which will translate to a more breathable space. Add a soft touch to your furniture by choosing a lighter wood color or pick furniture with soft curves instead of sharp edges.
2. Declutter your space – Minimalism is essential
How many times it has happened that when you need something but you are unable to find it. This happens because our homes are filled with so many unused things that create confusion and frustration. Start small by making a list of essential items you need and start subtracting those that are not in need. You’ll be surprised by the fact that how little you actually need to stay happy and productive.
2. Add Wooden Statement Pieces
Don’t think that Japandi is a style with all the subtle elements. Like every design, it needs few statement pieces, pieces that grab attention. So, add wooden statement pieces in your home with minimal accessories.
3. Clean and Warm Materials
If you’ve added white to the walls or the ceiling make sure you add few warm pieces in your space. This will make you more inviting and cozier. This contrast between your materials will add interest to space. A light-colored wood floor and white walls are an ideal combination.
4. Bamboo and wicker furniture
Bamboo and wicker are light-colored materials. These add texture to your space without trying too hard. The craftsmanship in these pieces will make you fall in love with them. These are also very easy to blend with the rest of your color palette. If you looking to add something different to your home bamboo and wicker won’t disappoint you.
4. Get close to nature
Getting close to nature is a no-brainer. Because it is the perfect way to relax. Try to add few plants around your desired space and also open up those blinds so that the beautiful sun can come in because the light is life.
5. Earthy color palette
An earthly color palette is a palette that is inspired by nature. It has a clean and minimal aesthetic. There are few stand-out pieces in this palette. The palette revolves around natural materials like earth, bamboo, and tint, tones of pastel colors.
6. Introduce plants
Adding a plant can do many things for space and even for yourself. A plant adds texture and life to space. It also provides cleaner air and uplifts your mood and on top of everything it grows with you. So go on add your favorite plants to your space.
7. Intricate rugs and fabrics
Japandi Interiors doesn’t compromise on interest rather it adds interest in very subtle ways without making the space look too busy. Intricate rugs and fabrics add character to space also prevent the space from becoming underwhelming. Mix up your favorite patterns with subtle colors to add your personality to space.
8. Add abstract artwork to finish off
Abstract art creates an interesting background for your space. Choose the art which does more with less. The best way to add abstract art is by picking up art from your vacations. This will add variety to your space which will make the space more personal.
