Japandi style is the must-have interior trend that is a hybrid of Japanese and Scandinavian aesthetics. the look is minimal, functional, warm and calming; with touches of wabi-sabi enthused imperfection.

how did we achieve the Japandi style in this beautiful apartment facing the Jet D’Eau of Geneva?

• KEEPING IT CLEAN

  minimalism is essential to a Japandi styled interiors, therefore, free-flowing floor spaces, clear of clutter are key.

• NATURE IS KEY

  the natural warmth of wood is revered in both Japanese and Scandanavian design. work it into your home and introduce natural accents with statement houseplants, preferably in terracotta and textured pots. 

• NATURAL TONES
  here is where the Japandi camp divides. those tipping toward the Scandi expression will likely opt for a white or neutral based palette with rich accents. others will choose large swathes of rich color on walls and other elements. In both cases, work with natural tones like blues, greens, plums and browns. black is also a favorite in Japandi styled rooms.

• ACCESSORISING WITH CARE
  the philosophies behind both nations’ design languages call for accessories that prioritise functionality over decoration. think ceramic tableware, vases and a few books. lastly, combine Scandi’s homely comforts with Japanese imperfection through contrasting cushions, throws, or even vases and flowers.
