Japandi style is a fusion of Japanese and Scandinavian design philosophies. Rooted in the principles of simplicity, functionality, and a harmonious blend of form and function, Japandi combines the elegance of Japanese aesthetics with the practicality of Scandinavian design.
A neutral color palette is a core of Japandi design. Taking cues from the muted tones of Scandinavian interiors and the earthy, natural hues favored in Japanese aesthetics, Japandi spaces often feature a palette dominated by whites, beiges, grays, and muted pastels. This neutral backdrop serves as a canvas, allowing the simplicity of form and the beauty of functional design to take center stage.
