Where Japanese serenity and Scandinavian minimalism meetThe antithesis of a cultural clash, an unexpected meeting between Japanese and Scandinavian interior design has materialised as a surprisingly perfect pairing. Quickly becoming known as Japandi style, the trend is silently sweeping the interiors world with its peaceful hues and calming textures.Both devoid of fuss or extravagance, and both self assured in their minimalism, the duo reflect a feeling of serenity and effortless style. Having mastered the pared back look individually, the combination does nothing but inspire a space of tranquillity, and, well, not too much else.What is Japandi style?The crossroads between Scandinavia's love of light woods, concrete and simple colour palettes and Japan’s modern take on its traditional, uncluttered spaces. As a combination of the two, Japandi interior design embraces their mutual understanding that it is people that belong at the centre of design, not stuff.Colour is limited, though natural textures and light are more than encouraged, play around with woods, plants and upholstery (no patterns please) to emulate the fresh feel.Furniture remains low to the ground, though Japandi style sofa mimic more low-lying Western style seating as opposed to a zabuton (the cushion used for seating in Japanese homes).Craftsmanship is similarly key. High-quality furniture investments make an excellent choice, as fewer, simpler pieces means more focus on their materials and form and honours the Japanese tradition of elegant simplicity.How is Japandi style different from Scandinavian minimalism?
