Japandi has grown in popularity as an interior design style in the Nordic countries. And no wonder, as it combines the best of two different cultures: Japanese simplicity and Scandinavian warmth. The result is a harmonious and peaceful interior that suits many different homes.
The roots of compatibility lie in functionality and simplicity. While Scandinavian interior design is based on cool colors and pure white walls, Japanese style favors warmer, natural colors. The fashion term "hygge" refers to a warm coziness in interior design, while in Japan the focus is on the "wabi-sabi" concept, the core of which is the beauty of imperfection. Natural materials are favored in both styles, but in the Nordic countries, for example, the shades of wood are lighter than in Japan. Functionality, simplicity, natural elements and craftsmanship – that is the core of the Japandi style's design philosophy.
In honor of reduction, materials and craftsmanship
MOOR-ROOM furniture was born from the idea of simplifying and removing all excess, and creating minimalist furniture where the objects placed in it come into their own. The feel of the wood, the millimeter-precise cuts and the parts that lock into each other without tools or screws may lean towards Scandinavian style, while the clean and simple lines and the color shades typical of the Japandi style, in turn, refer to Japan, whose culture the products' main designer has become acquainted with over decades.
How to create a Japandi-style interior for your home:
- Minimalism: In Japandi interior design, everything extra is removed. Items are purposeful and have their place.
- Naturalness: Natural materials such as wood, bamboo, paper and linen are important. Plants are also an essential part of the interior.
- Warmth and coziness: Although the style is minimalist, it is not cold. Scandinavian warmth is brought into the interior with soft textiles such as wool and cotton.
- Functionality: In Japandi interior design, everything is practical and functional. The furniture is simple and clean-lined.
- Harmony of colors: The colors used are light and neutral shades, such as white, gray and beige. A touch of black or other natural colors can be used as a spice.
