Oriented Functionalism
One of the main intentions
of Japandi style is the desire

pleasing while functional
designs that formulate a
positive, cozy, and easy
lifestyle. Each object in a
Japandi house is given more
than a mere utilitarian
purpose.

10. Traces of Handicraft and Nature
Drawing on the Japanese concept of
"wabi-sabi"-the appreciation of
imperfection and repaired
aesthetics-Japandi emphasizes
deep connections to the
environment through the usage of
natural material. "Japanese design
values, above all, the idea of texture
and age-not an unachievable
perfection with flawless reflected
polished surfaces
11. Yakisugi, a traditional Japanese
method of burning and preserving
wood, is a great example of this
principle of imperfect
craftsmanship.
They love using neutral and natural
surfaces, especially because they
take a space from looking like a
clinically-cold showroom to being a
real home filled with age and
texture-inviting and relaxed,
Inherited from Japanese design
values, Japandi style finds perfection
in the "imperfect" nature and adopts
local and natural materials, such as
cotton, linen, wood, and paper, to
connect with the environment and
bring warmth to the home.
12. Japandi values simplicity which
brings ease and freshness into life.
But unlike a minimalistic interior,
which deprives all decorations and
leaves only the essential functional
objects usually with perfect
machine-made slick surfaces.
Japandi style adds the warm and
rustic Scandinavian design concept
of Hygge and focuses on shaping
human experience, making the
space more genial and sweet.
Japandi style is simple but with
warmth, minimal but with
humanistic care.
13. These are the pillars of
Japandi style
Neutral colors: Whites, off-
whites, beiges, and taupes
set a minimalist palette that
allows other design details
to stand out.
Functional pieces with clean
details: Dual-purpose
furniture (such as a custom
futon) maximizes the living
space.
14. Bright spaces with lots of natural light:
Consider where the natural light source is
in a project and how to work around it so
it's unobstructed.
Design decisions that supports a healthy,
meaningful lifestyle: Prioritize elements
that mean the most to specific
homeowners.
Raw materials: The use of wood is a major
theme; playing with different types and
stains to add tonal interest is a signature of
Japandi style.
