Japandi style
– a new dimension of minimalism in your home
What is Japandi style?
The Japandi style is becoming increasingly popular in Hungary. But what exactly is it?
The Japandi style is a harmonious blend of the Japanese wabi-sabi approach and the Scandinavian hygge world – with natural materials, a calming color palette, and clean lines. Japandi is both an aesthetic and a philosophy: a combination of conscious use of space, functionality, and inner harmony.
Vogue magazine describes the Japandi style as a unity of "minimalism and tranquility" – a kind of internal order where every object has its place and role, and the space also supports a connection to nature.

The 4 principles of Japandi interior design
1. Use of natural materials
The Japandi style is based on closeness to nature: wood, stone, linen, bamboo, wool, and natural fabrics appear on all furniture and accessories. These materials not only look good, but also feel calming to the touch.
2. Clean and functional design
There is little furniture in the space, but what there is is high quality – every piece has a purpose, without excess. The simple forms and precise detailing are a combination of Japanese craftsmanship and Scandinavian functionality.
3. Natural colors
The colors come from nature: beige, gray, earth tones, off-white, and clay red tones dominate, supporting the relaxing atmosphere.
4. Handcrafted, timeless furniture
Japandi interiors do not follow rapidly changing trends. The furniture featured here is timeless and often handmade, conveying deeper value and meaning.
How to bring Japandi style into your home?
- Choose a piece with character:a handmade wooden table or open shelving system that matches the style should be the focal point of the space.
- Shape the space with lighting:making use of natural light is key, but a well-placed minimalist pendant light can also work wonders.
- Avoid clutter:keep the space airy and make sure every object has a function.
- Combine textures:wood, stone, linen, and ceramics naturally complement each other in this space
