Natural elements bring an earthy and homely feeling to your space, combined with timeless long-lasting style and pieces that allow you to connect in comfort; there’s beauty in simplicity and these key elements form the hybrid that is Japandi design.
This trend has seen a big rise over the last year because it coincides well with the idea of considered luxury and focusing on key elements of a room that are more ethical, sustainable, and natural. Here’s all you need to know about this style of interior design and how you can curate this look and feel in your home.
What is Japandi?
Japandi fuses the comforting, warm colours of Scandinavian design with the sleek, minimalistic elegance of Japanese design.
It’s a rising trend that focuses on quality and well-curated pieces that will stand the test of time - emphasising sustainability goals and eco-friendly lifestyles.
Danetti Designer, Francesca explains: “It essentially means to ‘find beauty in the imperfection’ and with interiors, this means making the most of what you have and being intentional about your home and furniture decor.
“It also relates to materials used and how they age, so investing in good leather that will age well or a ceramic dining table that’s durable – something that in ten years’ time will survive any imperfections.”
What are the key components of Japandi?
- Muted colours and neutral tones
- Natural materials
- Clean lines
- Organised, decluttered spaces
- Scandinavian functionality
- Japanese minimalism
- Bright expanses
Danetti Designer, Damien adds: “I really like the cross of Scandinavian design with modern Japanese - they're both rooted in minimalist design principles and focus on warmth and natural elements. Both have muted colour palettes and nice lighting, and plants are a key in it as well. I love having plants around the home.”

Our Heath Bar Stool is the perfect fusion of Scandinavian functionality and Japanese rustic minimalism. Inspired by traditional oak bar stools, this design is a simple and stylish way of creating an extra space for socialising at your kitchen island. The slightly curved shape of the seat’s silhouette gives a softer feel to the stool’s overall look, which helps to accentuate the warm and homely feel that the wood grain on the legs creates.
