Bathroom Zen - Japandi Style
What Is Japandi Design?
Japandi is a blend of the smooth, modern lines of Scandinavian design with the sleek, functional, rustic minimalism of Japanese style.
With Japandi styling the key focuses are on minimalistic design that is highly functional. The use of natural materials, neutral and muted colours, well crafted and functional furniture and accessories that are made with natural or raw materials.
It’s minimalist yet welcoming!
How to create a Japandi Style Bathroom…
Colour is a key factor when creating a Japandi-inspired bathroom scheme, with neutral hues such as soft beiges and creams helping to create the feeling of tranquillity that is so important with this trend. Naturally evoking feelings of calm, these neutral shades are not only easy on the eye, but easy to pair, too.
When bringing Japandi into your bathroom, consider using neutral colours on your walls to create a soft yet notable effect. Our Welsh Slate and Cream Stone decors from our Timeless Plywood range give the look and feel of real stone introducing the look of nature inside and our Light Wood decor brings a more rustic feel into the mix. Our Timeless Plywood range is manufactured using ethically sourced plywood that is PEFC certified.
Swedish Cedar and Beaumont Tile finishes in our Elite range of bathroom panels are a perfect choice here, as they offer a streamlined, clean aesthetic that provides the long-term benefit of no grouting to clean and easy maintenance wood effect panels, achieving the look of real wood in wet areas where the real thing is not a viable option.
It’s important that you don’t bring in too many colours, as you want a pared-back and comforting vibe.
When accessorising a Japandi scheme, consider natural materials that will complement the wider aesthetic. Leafy plants will add appealing greenery and oak or bamboo will further help to enhance the overall simplistic beauty that is associated with Japandi.
So to recap:
Use muted, neutral and lighter colours
Reduce or hide clutter to open up spaces and clear surfaces
Focus on natural raw materials like wood and clay, pure cotton as opposed to synthetic fabrics
when selecting textilesIntroduce plants and greenery to bring a sense of the outdoors inside as well as adding a bit of colour
The simplicity of Japandi style makes it a great choice for interior styling, especially in the bathroom where the minimalist nature of the style lends itself to a serene and calm interior.
