Get the Japandi look in your home

Japanadi is a popular, emerging trend because of its clean lines, minimalist style, muted earthy tones, and functionality. Fusing the traditional and natural elements of Japanese style with the simplicity and modern flair of Scandinavian design, Japandi is aesthetically pleasing and brings timeless elegance to any space inside the home. Colours featured: Dulux Gnu Tan and Dulux Grey Reflection

Bridging the gap between colour

Japandi style is created using calming, tranquil, and peaceful colour palettes, but allows the use of contrasting darker hues in a subtle and meaningful way.

Adding a mix of tones can create different moods throughout the room. Use browns and neutrals for the foundation, then add greys and blacks for drama. Complement natural wood or highlight particular areas of the room with muted pinks, blues and greens.

The core of Japandi design

The use of natural, layered, and textured materials is at the core of Japandi design. A popular material used in Japandi is light oak because it provides strength and warmth. Other materials that can accentuate different sections of the room are concrete, limestone, metals, ceramics, and even patterned marble.

Make an impact with furniture

Embrace statement furniture. Placement of furniture with both light and dark tones creates contrast, a design element that perfectly embodies the Japandi style. 

Pair typically Scandinavian light timber tones with charcoals or blacks that are inspired by the styling of traditional Japanese interiors. Remember that any furniture should be minimalist and useful. Sometimes less is more.

Luminous, natural and muted are just a few of the qualities from the Dulux Neutrals range. The right shade and tone can easily transform any space, from clean and crisp to warm and inviting. The Neutrals range provides the flexibility to personalise your home with layers of other complementary shades or accent colours. Neutrals are an excellent place to start for many interior styles.

Combining the elements to create Japandi

Bring this stunning and popular design trend into your home by tying together natural, muted, and earthy colours such as Dulux Pancake Mix or Dulux Gnu Tan with a combination of refined textures and statement furniture with darker tones. Japandi style is about creating a simplistic and aesthetically pleasing space that is also functional.
