Recreating the Japandi style with furniture from China

In this article, we will discuss the key features of the Japandi style and how to recreate it in your interior using premium furniture from China.

Natural materials

In Japandi, materials that create a sense of closeness to nature are preferred. These can include untreated wood, natural stone, handcrafted ceramics, and fabrics like linen, cotton, and wool.

Using natural materials contributes to forming a warm and comfortable atmosphere in the home, reflecting the shared values and aesthetic preferences of Scandinavians and Japanese.

Our extensive online catalog will help you find premium furniture made from natural materials, lighting, sanitary ware, and finishing materials that perfectly complement spaces of various styles.

Neutral shades

The palette of the Japandi style is dominated by neutral shades such as white, gray, beige, and brown. However, the seemingly monochromatic appearance is just an illusion. In reality, the Japandi palette is enlivened by subtle transitions from light to dark tones, and the variety of textures adds depth and layering to the interior, preventing it from becoming static and dull.

This characteristic distinguishes Japandi from the traditional Japanese and Scandinavian styles, where bold accents in the form of decorative elements often play a key role. In Japandi, the focus shifts to a delicate interplay of tones and textures, creating an atmosphere of calm and tranquility.

Functionality

In Japandi, simplicity and functionality are highly valued. This means that the interior should have minimal furniture and decor, with each piece serving a specific purpose and fulfilling a particular function. Multifunctional furniture and hidden storage systems are preferred in such interiors, allowing for space-saving and minimizing visual clutter.

Thoughtful space organization, technological innovation, and luxurious design are distinctive features of storage systems from Chinese manufacturers with whom we collaborate. We offer a wide range of storage and organization solutions for your belongings, including corner and built-in wardrobes and models with hinged and sliding doors.

Lighting

Natural light plays a vital role in the Japandi style. Therefore, when creating such an interior, it is essential to ensure that light can freely enter the space, creating a sense of openness and airiness. Large windows, lightweight curtains, and mirrors can help achieve this.

Artificial lighting in Japandi interiors is often soft and diffused, creating a cozy atmosphere. Use fixtures with simple and minimalist shapes featuring matte shades or lampshades made from natural materials.

In the Globus online catalog, you will find designer pendant lights, wall sconces, floor lamps, chandeliers, and table lamps that are crafted with all the nuances of the Japandi style in mind.

Simplicity of forms

In Japandi, there is a cult of natural geometry. Interior objects feature shapes that are found in nature: ovals, squares, and rectangles. There is no place for complex lines and intricate patterns here — the closer to primordial simplicity, the greater the sense of order and harmony.
