The Japandi design trend is still holding strong in 2022! You may be thinking, what is Japandi design exactly? It is the delicate fusion of Japanese and Scandinavian design elements. This design style is the best of both worlds with the clean lines of Japanese design, and the rustic warmth of Scandinavian design. You can find this style expressed through furniture, pottery, wallpaper and accessories. Minimalism is certainly an underpinning of the Japandi style. Maximalism is having its moment right now, however Minimalism is still on solid footing, and Japandi’s popularity is proof of that. This angle to modern design is approachable and the opposite of cold minimalism.
Japandi can be identified by it’s use of natural materials and modern shapes. It incorporates the Japanese concept of wabi sabi (embracing the beauty of simplicity and impermanence). In addition to natural wood tones, you’ll notice that furniture in the Japandi style incorporates simple, precise lines and shapes, as well as furniture with the lowest possible height. The concept of low height furniture was meant to convey the connection between man and Earth.
If you looking for ways to update your aesthetic, Japandi design elements are perfect way to modernize your home in a balanced way. I love industrywest.com for interesting Japandi inspired pieces.
