The key features of
a Japandi interior
Japandi is characterized by simplicity, natural materials, and a neutral colour palette. Here is an overview of the most important elements for a Japandi salon:
- Natural materials: In a Japandi interior, materials like wood, rattan, and stone are commonly used. These materials create a calm, natural look and form the foundation of the interior design.
- Neutral colours: The Japandi colour palette predominantly features neutral tones like white, beige, and taupe. Bright colours are avoided to maintain a calm, harmonious atmosphere.
- Minimalist design: Japandi is all about minimalism. Accessories are kept to a minimum and chosen for their functionality. This ensures a clean and peaceful environment in your Japandi salon.
- Organic shapes: Organic, rounded shapes are often incorporated into the design, adding softness to the clean lines and giving the space an inviting character.

The Japandi interior style is a combination of Scandinavian design and the Japanese Wabi-Sabi philosophy. While both styles emphasize simplicity and functionality, there are also clear differences.
- Philosophy vs. style: Wabi-Sabi is a Japanese philosophy centered around accepting imperfection and transience, while Japandi is an interior style combining elements of both Scandinavian minimalism and Japanese design.
- Colour palette: Wabi-Sabi uses darker, earthy tones, whereas Japandi emphasizes lighter colours such as white, beige, and light wood.
- Materials: Both styles value natural materials, but Wabi-Sabi focuses more on raw, untreated materials like wood and stone, while Japandi incorporates sleek lines and polished materials.
- Shape and structure: Wabi-Sabi embraces asymmetry and irregularities, whereas Japandi focuses on symmetry, simple forms, and a clean, minimalist look.
