This interior trend is seeing an explosion in interest.
In fact, argues Rietbergen, they can even make each other stronger: “When you think about minimalistic living, you are most likely to think of Scandinavian or Japanese interior design. Where they differ, they complement each other. Where Japanese interiors are sleek, Scandinavian ones are rustic. The rich, earthy colors of Japanese design help to keep the monochrome palette of Scandinavian homes from feeling austere.
So why is it resonating now? King believes that its earthy, functional energy has renewed relevance at a time when technology surrounds and often overwhelms us. “The directness and simplicity of such everyday solutions often amaze us today,” he says. Romanek agrees: “The principles behind Japandi represent a sense of calmness and ease, which all of us can relate to and need in our lives,” she says.
Brent also points out that, unlike many interior styles, Japandi won’t date as quickly, given its roots stretch back centuries. “I think homeowners today are really craving interiors that will stand the test of time,” he says. “Japandi goes beyond what’s trending and is a lesson in investing in timeless, quality designs you’ll have for years to come. It’s the practice of curating a home rooted in beauty and function.
So go ahead—invest in a Noguchi lamp, a sleek wooden table, and some wabi-sabi pottery. It’s a style that’s here to stay.
