Japandi is the evolution of two now tried-and-true 21st century designs: Scandinavian and Japanese.
Grounded in a neutral palette, Japandi evokes the functionality, rustic look and simplicity of both styles and focuses on clean lines, calming, Zen-like colors and a tightly edited room. Functional pieces are minimalist by design and carefully thought out for their intentionality and style. Here’s how to get the look.
