Learn what Japandi interior design is, its key components, and what window treatments blend seamlessly with this design style.
What is Japandi Interior Design?
Japandi interior design style aims for balance and harmony in interior spaces. It embraces the idea of a calm home that’s simple yet sophisticated, blending Japanese minimalism with Scandinavian interior design. It fuses the two similar styles, creating stylistic interest. Even though the term “Japandi” is relatively new, the fusion of the two styles dates to the 1860s.
Japandi could be a good interior design style for you if you like a calm, clean, functional space that emphasizes a connection to nature.
Components of Japandi Interior Design
Japandi draws on Scandinavian and Japanese influences, combining the best of both.
Scandinavian influences include:
- Simple color stories.
- Soft, natural materials.
- Uncluttered spaces.
- Natural light.
- Open shelving.
- Clean lines.
Japanese minimalism influences include:
- Neutral color palettes.
- Clean lines.
- Minimal decor.
- Lots of natural light.
- Raw, natural, and organic materials.
Japandi features darker woods than traditional Scandinavian interiors and lacks the red color found in many Japanese minimalist homes. Of course, your home should reflect your personal style, so you can easily pick and choose whether your home leans more toward Japanese minimalism or Scandinavian design by selecting the colors, artwork, and materials you enjoy.
Our Top Recommendations for Japandi Window Treatments
Since natural light is a key component of Japandi interior design, heavy, opaque shades that let in little light aren’t a good fit here.
Instead, consider these ideas for your home:
- Luminette® Sheer Panels are ideal for large windows that bring in a lot of natural light. Because they combine sheers and blinds, they enhance light while allowing for plenty of privacy.
- Provenance® Woven Wood Shades, particularly those made with bamboo, add texture, natural materials, and diffused light.
- Parkland® Wood Blinds are clean, functional, and easy to use, made with 100% natural wood. They’re warm and available in over 50 colors.
A drapery layer in a sheer or linen fabric is a nice final touch. With layers, you can frame your window while still getting daytime privacy and the prized natural light.
