Japandi Style

Japandi style combines Japanese minimalism with Scandinavian elegance. This concept adopts characteristics of the Japanese Wabi-Sabi philosophy, which sees beauty in imperfection, and the Scandinavian Hygge concept, which inspires peace, comfort, and well-being.

Extravagance and excess are left aside in Japandi style decoration. Keeping things simple is the key to this design. The functionality and purpose of the pieces are essential for everything to be in harmony. 

Light woods are valued, as they keep the space clean and bright, but in a natural way. Light and dark, modern and classic, Japandi style kitchens are all about contrast. This detail adds visual interest without cluttering the space. 

Bringing the outside into the inside is one of the pillars of Japandi design. Using accessories with plants carries a sublime feeling of nature into the space. Natural materials such as bamboo, straw, stone, wood, leather, and ceramics are indispensable in this style. The feeling of comfort is one of the priorities of this concept.

Natural Materials

The use of natural materials is a certainty in contemporary kitchen design. One material that will continue to be a trend during this year is marble. Marble countertops incorporate elegance all over the kitchen. Shades of gray and black are going to be a big trend.

Wood is another prominent element in this room. A detail of refinement, the versatility of the combination of this material is something that surprises every year. Originality is in your hands.
