If you like pared-back simplicity that embraces nature, boasts creature comforts, and promotes well-being at home, you might like JAPANDI

This style has two equal influences: the respect of nature and minimalism found in Japanese design and the cozy comfort of a Scandinavian aesthetic-hence the portmanteau, Japandi, which caught on around 2016. A fusion of natural materials, organic shapes, and earthy colors, it imparts a sense of tranquility. In this light-filled living room, a curved sofa covered in nubby bouclé harmonizes with a low-slung wood chair and a shapely green marble table.

Accessories are minimal too-just plants and a patchwork-like art piece that echoes the wood-slat wall beyond it.

Elements of the Style

COLOR PALETTE Drawn from nature with an emphasis on simplicity: leafy greens, midtone browns, and warm whites.

CURVY FURNITURE Organic shapes with few hard edges, in touchable fabrics like bouclé, wool, and linen.

NATURAL MATERIALS Lots of raw or stained wood and caning alongside displays of plants, rocks, and driftwood.
