Staying up to date with ever changing building styles is not an easy task. House designs often have a ‘use by date’ and it is easy to be pressured into choosing a house style that will not last the test of time.
Japandi exterior design showcasing architectural simplicity and textured building materials
Japandi house design may have solved the problem, it is the perfect marriage between simplicity and nature, with the common interest of minimalism which marries the calming infusion of styles from Japan and Scandinavia.
The Japanese and Scandinavian influences are timeless, as they combine simple functional design with dashes of stylish décor pieces and accents – avoiding the classic mistake of cluttered ‘overdecorating’.
The Scandinavian influence brings simplicity through clean lines of architecture and a cosy uncomplicated décor. The Japanese style is all about calming and elegance.
The use of neutral colours with touches of accents and textured finishes enhances the true Japandi look.
To achieve the genuine ‘Japandi’ home – the following elements should be adhered to:
- Clean lines.
- Functional minimal furniture.
- Decluttered space.
- Natural materials.
- Combination of contrasting colours like pearl grey, sky blue, natural wood in dark and light shade, a hint of black, pale pink and white.
- Functional accessories.
