What Is Japandi, and How to Get the Look at Home

Japandi is the quiet meeting point between Japanese and Scandinavian design. Both value calm, natural materials and the idea that less, done well, is plenty. The result is a room that feels restful without being cold.

The basics of the look

Think warm neutrals, pale woods, a little texture from linen or ceramics, and very little clutter. Colour is used sparingly, usually drawn from nature, soft greens, stone, charcoal and oatmeal.

Why art matters here

In a pared back room the art carries real weight. One considered landscape can set the whole mood, so it pays to choose something with a sense of stillness rather than a busy print that competes with the calm.

A print that anchors the room

Our Misty Pine print is made for this. A lone pine on a misty mountain in soft blues and greens, it brings a sense of quiet to a bedroom, a living room or a hallway. Frame it in pale oak or ash to keep the natural feel.

See the rest of our Japandi wall art for pieces that work together. Sold unframed so you can choose the perfect frame for your space.
