Recommended Vases to Enhance Your Japandi Style

What is Japandi Style?

Japandi style is an interior style that incorporates the tranquility of Japanese "wabi-sabi" and the comfort created by Scandinavian "hygge." The main characteristics of Japandi style are as follows:

A Space that Evokes Peace

Japandi style is a simple interior style that heavily uses natural materials, creating a space of peace and tranquility. It is characterized by the harmony between traditional Japanese natural materials such as tatami and wood, and the bright, warm colors of Scandinavia.

Japandi style uses only essential furniture, adding accents within a soft space. Therefore, you can feel comfortable despite its simplicity.

Adding small seasonal decorations is also recommended for creating a comfortable and relaxing space.

Not Just Visually Appealing, but Highly Functional Interiors

Japandi style is not only aesthetically pleasing but also highly functional in its interior design. Furniture, especially those based on Scandinavian design, focuses on ease of use and versatility.

For example, chairs and sofas are precisely designed with seat height, firmness, and armrest angles to ensure comfort even during long periods of sitting.

By incorporating highly functional items into a comfortable space, your quality of life will further improve, bringing satisfaction to your daily life.

Timeless Design that Doesn't Age

Japandi style merges the traditional beauty of Japan with Scandinavian design. Both have been loved for generations, so they never feel outdated. The sophisticated space of Japandi will always remain fresh and continue to exude an attractive impression.

Furthermore, choosing high-quality interiors will deepen your affection for them over time. The ability to create a home that gains value the longer you use it is another appeal of Japandi style.

Tips for Achieving a Japandi-Style Room

Here are some tips for achieving a Japandi-style room.

Balance Scandinavian and Japanese Styles at "7:3"

When creating Japandi style, the balance between Japanese and Scandinavian elements is crucial. Specifically, a balance of 30% Japanese elements to 70% Scandinavian elements can help create an attractive room.

Japandi style harmonizes and creates a comfortable space by incorporating Japanese elements into its foundational Scandinavian design. By unifying large furniture in Scandinavian style and adding Japanese accents through lighting and small items, you can achieve a refined Japandi atmosphere.

For example, adding washi paper lamps or bamboo items to simple wooden furniture can infuse the space with a Japanese touch.

Incorporate Empty Space Throughout the Room

In Japandi style, it's also important to be mindful of "empty space" in the room. If there are too many items, the space can feel cluttered and unsettling. Therefore, by reducing unnecessary items and carefully selecting what is visible, a more refined space is created.

Furthermore, the Japanese concept of "ma," which perceives empty space as beauty, is an essential element of Japandi style. By not overcrowding the interior, harmony and tranquility are brought to the entire room.

Having empty space in the room creates a comfortable atmosphere, allowing you to enjoy Japandi style more relaxedly.

Maintain a Neutral Color Palette Throughout

In Japandi style, it's important to choose colors based on earth tones and achromatic colors. Earth tones are warm hues reminiscent of nature, such as beige, khaki, and olive. Achromatic colors refer to white, black, and gray, which have the characteristic of harmonizing well with any other color.

In Japandi style, a calm and natural atmosphere is created by using base colors like white and ivory, and then adding earth tones.

However, if the entire room is in light colors, it can give a vague impression, so it's key to incorporate accents like black to sharpen the space.

Incorporate Compatible Branches

Japandi style values harmony with nature, so it has an excellent affinity with plants. As a part of nature, plants bring warmth and tranquility to a room, creating a cohesive interior.

While there are various sizes and types of plants, "branches," which are simple and don't detract from the room's aesthetic, are recommended as they blend well with any room.

Branches are a general term for cut branches used as cut flowers. Incorporating seasonal branches such as cherry blossoms, azaleas, and wild roses will further enhance the appeal of Japandi style.

SiKiTO offers a "Branch Subscription Service" that delivers expertly selected branches. If you want to incorporate stylish plants into your Japandi-style home, please check it out.
