If you’ve seen this trend on your feed but you’re wondering what Japandi style is, I’m here to tell you!
It’s a fusion of Japanese and Scandinavian styles of not just decor, but living as well!
This style blends simplicity, functionality and elegance all at once because it’s all about finding peace and creating spaces that reflect that!
Bringing Japandi style into your bedroom is the perfect choice, because that’s the room where you need relaxation the most!
Combining the best of both worlds, Zen from Japandi and practicality from Scandi, you get the perfect bedroom where you’ll be able to relax in after a long hard day!
Let’s look at some of the elements to pay attention to when styling your Japandi bedroom!
1. Color Palette: Neutral and Earthy
The Japandi palette is the same across all rooms, it’s neutral, muted and earthy.
Lots of beige, gray, soft green and blue play a crucial role in making the Japandi bedroom cozy and relaxing.
2. Minimalism: Less is More
When decorating your Japandi bedroom you need to be mindful of the pieces you pick and you need to make sure you don’t overdo it!
3. Bring in the Nature
Bringing in lots of plants into your space is a way you can connect with nature, only inside!
4. Think about Functionality
The premise of the Japandi style is that furniture should be as functional as its aesthetic. Choose pieces that are multifunctional or have an interesting feature!
Like this bed we have here that also serves as storage, or pick folding furniture that you can later on store easily!
5. Soft Lighting
The point of soft lighting is that it’s supposed to mimic natural light. Having huge windows is a plus, but not everyone is that lucky, so you need to make do with what you have!
Sconces, lamps and candles will do the trick!
6. Mix Textures and Fabrics
Mixing fabrics will make your space look more interesting, but still, be careful to choose materials that are comfortable and simple.
Things like linen, wool and cotton will make your bed look like a cloud!
7. Put Up Simple Artwork
Make sure you pick artwork that makes a statement, yet still remains simple!
8. Keep the Space Clutter-Free
This is probably the first thing you want to do when creating a Japandi bedroom! Make sure that your space is clutter-free.
Clean out all of the things you forgot even existed!
9. Mind the Windows
Natural light is a jackpot when talking about Japandi style, but you should also want privacy. Cover your windows with light curtains that will give you privacy, yet still let some natural light in!
10. Pick Natural Materials
Wood, bamboo and stone are the go-tos when decorating a Japandi-style bedroom.
Bringing in these natural materials will bring warmth and texture to your space!
11. Tone Down the Prints
The Japandi style isn’t really big on patterns. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t add any!
Just be mindful when picking out your bed sheets or the wallpaper that you want!
12. Get a Low Bed
Low furniture is a staple in Japanese style, so bringing that touch to your Japandi bedroom will definitely enhance the Japan part of Japandi!
13. Add Warmth
Add warmth through wood and decor, because it’s really easy to turn beige, gray, green and blue cold!
14. Stick to Clean Lines
Always choose furniture that isn’t too ornate. Stick with clean lines to achieve a cohesive space!
15. Mind the Layout
Make sure your space is airy and walkable. You might even try Feng Shui!
16. Think about Storage
You need to have a space that stores your clothes and clutter you just can’t throw away. Make sure your wardrobe and nightstands are simple and they blend into the space!
