Borrowing elements from Scandinavian design and Japanese aesthetics, Japandi incorporates light woods and saturated neutrals punctuated with black accents. Natural elements, like bamboo and stone, and textured objects and materials bring a sense of the outdoors inside. Combined with stark minimalist forms, these foundational elements create inviting, function-driven spaces.

Japandi in the Kitchen

Like the bathroom, the Japandi kitchen seamlessly blends efficient functionality with nature-inspired forms and clean, elegant minimalism. Black accents provide a refined structure and backdrop that puts the room’s other finishes and materials into bold relief. Bursts of green infuse a breath of life and vibrance to complete the room.
