Cool, Calm, Japandi

MARWAR India delves into how Japandi interiors work their magic and transform homes into serene sanctuaries that are just right for summer.

Rooted in the traditions of Japanese minimalism and Scandinavian functionality, Japandi emerged as a design philosophy that celebrates the 'less-is-more' aesthetic. Over time, it has gained popularity for its emphasis on simplicity and its deep connection to nature. Even in 2025, Japandi continues to shine as a top design choice.

A Quiet Luxury

As summer rolls in, a new wave of interior style is making its mark—quiet luxury. It's about embracing simplicity, calm and a seamless blend between the indoors and the natural world outside. At the heart of this movement is Japandi. Roheena Nagpal, Principal Designer of Roheena Nagpal Design Studio, believes that this style celebrates restraint and serenity, with a palette rooted in nature and an ethos of purposeful design.

Nature as the Muse

According to Ritu Gupta, Founder and Interior Architect, Nadora by Ritu Gupta, Japandi design draws heavily from natural materials. Think pale-toned woods, textured stone, bamboo and wicker, which not only add depth and tactility but also help regulate temperature indoors during the warmer months. These materials, with their subtle imperfections, are a visual and sensory nod to the organic world.
