Have you always wanted to incorporate the serene and minimalist Japandi interior style into your home? This style is perfect for those who love tranquility, simplicity, and natural materials. Japandi combines the minimalism of Japanese interiors with the warm, functional design of Scandinavia. And that works not only in your living room, but also on your dining table and in the kitchen. In this blog, I'll show you how to easily create a Japandi atmosphere with tableware, glassware, and kitchen items.

What is Japandi style?

The Japandi style combines the best of both worlds: the serene tranquility and minimalism of Japan and the light, cozy, and functional approach of Scandinavian design. The result is an interior that looks sleek but feels warm and inviting at the same time. Natural materials, a subdued color palette, and a balance between clean lines and organic shapes are central to this style. 

Features of Japandi interior

• Natural materials: Japandi is all about materials with character. Wood, ceramics, porcelain, linen, and stone create a timeless look. Think of a wooden dining table, rustic tableware, and linen tablecloths. These materials bring tranquility and make your interior feel tangible and pure.
• Organic shapes: instead of perfect symmetry, Japandi features soft, flowing lines. This is reflected in furniture, but also in tableware and accessories. Slightly irregular plates, bowls with a handmade character, and subtle textures bring the table to life without becoming overwhelming.
• Calm color palette: Japandi colors are inspired by nature. Soft white, cream, sand, beige, and gray form the basis. Dark accents such as wood tones, anthracite, or deep blue provide contrast and depth without disturbing the calm.

The Japandi dining area 

A Japandi dining area feels open and airy. Opt for a wooden dining table with a simple design and combine it with chairs made from natural materials. Leave space around the table and avoid unnecessary decoration. This keeps the focus on tranquility and functionality, which is exactly what Japandi stands for.

Which tableware suits Japandi?

Tableware plays a major role in Japandi table settings. Ceramics and porcelain in calm shades are a perfect match for this style. Matte glazes, subtle textures, and natural colors create a serene look.
