Are you thinking of giving your home a refresh but not sure what to do? Do you like clean lines, quality craftsmanship furniture, neutral colors, and pieces that are functional AND beautiful? Do you LOVE the Scandinavian look but also the zen feeling you get when walking into a Japanese garden? WELL, if that sounds beautiful than you may just fall in love with the Japandi style!

I love Kairos Interior Studio work on this project below. It perfectly blends the two styles together, and exudes a feeling of serenity, peace, and great functionality. They also give a great in-depth article on how to master the Japandi Design trend, which you can find here: https://www.kairosinterior.sg/magazine/japandi-interior-design-20-tips

I asked Chat GPT’s DALLE AI image generator to create something combining Scandinavian and Japanese styles and specifically asked for some small bonsai trees and a Japanese Maple tree. It over did it on the plants, as you can see. But overall, not bad!

Now, on to a 5 step break down of what you need to do to achieve the Japandi Design Trend look.

• First things first – DECLUTTER your home. Japandi is all about minimalism, and clean spaces. So get ready to donate or sell some crap on Facebook market place.
• Choose natural materials: Opt for furniture and accessories made of natural materials, such as wood, bamboo, or stone
• Choose a neutral color scheme: Utilize a palette of whites, beiges, grays, and soft pastels to foster a tranquil and soothing environment. Let these colors serve as the backdrop for your space, highlighting the beauty of natural materials and textures.
• Emphasize practicality: Select furniture and accessories that are purposeful and enhance the overall functionality of your space. Be thoughtful about what you include, aiming to minimize clutter.
• Establish contrast and balance: Merge the light, airy qualities of Scandinavian design with the rich, earthy tones of Japanese design. This blend will create a harmonious and visually pleasing Japandi interior.

10 Amazon Products to Help You Achieve the Japandi Home Trend!

Japandi incorporates Wabi Sabi Wall Art

What is Wabi Sabi you ask? In Japanese, wabi embodies the concept of “less is more,” while sabi conveys a sense of thoughtful melancholy. Together, wabi-sabi reflects an appreciation for the transient nature of life, finding beauty in things that show the passage of time and that nothing lasts forever.

To achieve the Japandi look, find a large framed piece of Wabi Sabi Wall art. I’ve shared a few below on Amazon, along with their price points.

1. This 3D Handmade Wall Art is 24 x 32, Available on Amazon for $129. It has one 5 Star Rating. Talk about a statement piece!

2. This Set of 3 Framed Mountain Lake Scene is a nice neutral color scheme each sized at 16″x24″x3. It’s $95 on Amazon, and has 4.9 Stars! There are also other “wabi-sabi” worthy options to choose from this seller.

Wabi-sabi isn’t JUST about wall art, the core philosophy of Japandi, embraces the beauty found in imperfection. To embody this, select natural materials and finishes that are subtly irregular. The focus is on the allure of handmade pieces and the character of aged textures. Take this beautifully arranged low bench arrangement from Kairos Interior Studio project, the natural materials, and the weathered look, as well as the imbalance in the way that the pieces are arranged, also create a Wabi Sabi look! Below are some Amazon finds to help achieve the look.
