What is Japandi?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Japandi design brings together the austere, stylish minimalism of Scandinavia with Japanese wabi-sabi (the art of finding beauty in imperfection), resulting in the blended term \u201cJapandi.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI believe the Japandi trend will grow this year as people are spending more time at home and want their homes to feel serene and harmonious,\u201d says Tatiana Machado-Rosas<\/a>, design department head and senior interior designer for California\u2019s Jackson Design and Remodeling<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Japandi design is rooted in minimalism, the approach is all about carefully selected artistic pieces. \u201cEach item has a singular purpose, low to the ground to symbolize the connection of people and earth<\/a>,\u201d Machado-Rosas says. \u201cQuality and not quantity is key.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a style that finds beauty and functionality in comforting, tranquil spaces created with clean-lined furniture and accessories made from natural materials, explains Machado-Rosas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Japandi is a perfect fit for anyone who strives to live life as a minimalist. It has a decidedly uncluttered feel\u2014but it also presents itself as warm and cozy \u201cdue to the use of natural materials, unfinished wood being one of the most prominent,\u201d Machado-Rosas says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s how to incorporate Japandi principles into your bedroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Machado-Rosas says that when it comes to crafting a tranquil bedroom, colors and materials are important because they can easily influence your mood. This is where to start when creating a Japandi bedroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJapandi uses neutral and warm tones, or sometimes cooler hues and pastels, that encourage rest,\u201d says Machado-Rosas. So be sure to work in pale, soothing shades like gray, tan, brown, green, cream, and other hues drawn from nature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, be sure to be on top of your organizing game if you\u2019re striving for a Japandi bedroom. Japandi and messy are two things that never go together. \u201cThe sense of uncluttered order promotes relaxation and a better night\u2019s sleep,\u201d Machado-Rosas notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artful, yet functional, storage pieces and handwoven baskets are essential when achieving effective organization in your Japandi bedroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furniture and d\u00e9cor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Since one key aspect of Japandi design is creating a connection to the earth, keep your bedroom furniture low to the ground. Think nightstands that rest just below the top of your mattress and dressers with low or no legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll want to subtly dress up those furniture pieces, so Machado-Rosas suggests selecting \u201cjust a few\u201d beautiful, well-crafted accessories made from natural materials with clean lines to punctuate the space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, don\u2019t forget to include one or two pieces of greenery that provide a nod to nature. (These are the best plants to have in your bedroom<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
