WHAT IS JAPANDI?

Japandi is not a food, it is a rising trend in home design and interior aesthetics (You probably have seen this on your Pinterest feed or IG reel) that came from two different styles; Japanese and Scandinavian. Hence, the birth of the very quirky-sounding name — Japandi. Japandi is fresh, homey, and ideal for individuals seeking more simplicity in their surroundings. It’s a more artistic angle of the broad spectrum of minimalism.

ELEMENTS OF JAPANDI

Japandi sounds expensive, but it isn’t. Here’s a palette of Japandi that you can use as a cheat sheet in adding elements in your room, kitchen, living room, or for students, their desks.

Keep in mind that white is the primary color of Japandi. Cleanliness, simplicity, and mental stability can all be felt and seen in white. White also makes rooms look bigger, and it’s easier to film white. Furthermore, minimalism is not simply about these colors. It’s a matter of lifestyle. So, if you feel like putting on happy yellow, it’s totally fine! The organization is the key.
