Japandi combines the minimalism of Japanese interiors with the warm, functional design from Scandinavia. And yes, it can even be done on your dining table and in your kitchen! In this blog I tell you exactly how to bring the Japandi interior style to your dining table and kitchen, from tableware to kitchen items.

What is Japandi style?

The Japandi style combines the best elements of two design styles: the serene minimalism of Japanese interior design and the light, cozy and functional approach of Scandinavian design. This creates a style that is clean and minimalist in appearance, yet exudes warmth and coziness. The Japandi style revolves around the use of natural materials, an understated color palette, and clean lines combined with organic forms. 

Features of Japandi interior

• Natural materials: one of the main feature of Japandi is the use of natural materials such as wood, bamboo, ceramics and linen. These materials not only bring tranquility in the home, but also provide an authentic, timeless look. Think wooden tables, rustic ceramic tableware and linen placemats - every detail exudes tranquility and quality.
• Organic shapes: rather than hard, geometric shapes, the Japandi style revolves around organic, flowing lines. You see this not only in furniture and decoration, but also in the form of dinnerware and kitchen accessories. Think ceramic plates in earth tones and simple bowls and cups. This brings a subtle elegance that will make your table setting special.
• Colors: Japandi's color palette is neutraal and natural, with a focus on earth tones such as beige, sand, gray and white. Dark wood tones, black and navy blue can complement the balance and provide depth. The colors of nature are the inspiration for this style, creating a calming and harmonious atmosphere in your interior. 

The Japandi dining area 

The Japandi style is perfect for your dining area because it emphasizes simplicity and functionality. A Japandi dining table is usually made of wood, with a clean, minimalist design. Choose a table with straight lines and a quiet look. Chairs that fit this style are also usually simple, with organic shapes and made from natural materials. Make sure you have enough space so that the dining area does not feel too crowded, which adds to the tranquility of the Japandi style.
