Furnishing the bedroom in the Japandi style: 10 photos

Simple, regular shapes, neutral colours, natural light and attention to detail: this is the Japandi style in the bedroom.

The word Japandi, which has now fully entered the world of interior design, originates from the union of two terms: Japan and Scandinavian. Japandi, therefore, indicates a new furnishing style, increasingly popular and trendy in recent years. It combines the typical Japanese and Scandinavian styles, otherwise known as Nordic, in a refined and well-balanced way. In the bedroom, Japandi is synonymous with simplicity, cleanliness, order, light and well-being.

Japandi bedroom style: essential features

The Japandi style represents a timeless type of furniture. A unique design perfectly suited to every domestic context. Whether in summer or winter, furnishing the bedroom in the Japandi style is the right choice if you are looking for a comfortable and pleasantly liveable environment.

Aesthetics and functionality combine perfectly in the Japandi design, providing bright, green, relaxing and at the same time practical spaces in their refined simplicity and cleanliness.

Materials, furnishings and decorative accessories, coverings, textures: every element in the Japandi style is thought out and cared for down to the smallest detail. Nothing can or should be left to chance if you want to create a perfect Japanese-Scandinavian look.

Japandi style sleeping area: materials and colours

The materials most used and appreciated in the Japandi style are natural, ecological, recycled and recyclable. The Japandi style wants to get as close as possible to nature and for this reason, in the living room as in the bedroom, the real protagonist is wood, especially light and unprocessed wood. Often this material, used for flooring and furniture, the most ecological of all materials, is combined for example with marble, both in its lighter and darker shades. Rice paper, wicker, rattan and bamboo are other popular materials for furniture and decoration.

As for colours, the hues of the Japandi style are neutral, soft and pastel: from white to beige to ivory to milk and so on. The only intense hues that can be used in a Japandi bedroom are midnight blue, dark grey, sometimes even black, and deep green, often provided by the many plants placed in a Japandi interior.

Natural fabrics and plants for relaxing rooms

A Japandi bedroom loves light, natural fabrics such as linen, cotton, jute and canvas in pastel, neutral or white colours.

In addition to natural fabrics, a Japandi bedroom needs plenty of greenery. Plants are placed not only outside, on windowsills and balconies, but also inside the home, both in the living and bedroom areas. Particularly in this part of the house, all those plants are placed that not only enrich the room aesthetically, but also purify the air inside it. Plants become an ever-present decoration in the Japandi bedroom.

How to illuminate a Japandi bedroom

Natural light in the Japandi bedroom is of paramount importance. To enhance the sleeping area, natural light must fill the room as it enters through large windows, and be enhanced by the predominance of white on the bedding and walls. Of course, natural light must be pleasant and not disturbing, which is why it should always be filtered by light-coloured curtains and natural fabric.

And when the sun goes down, the artificial light must be designed to illuminate the sleeping room in a functional and pleasant way. Chromed, bronze-coloured or gold-lacquered floor or table lamps and steel or iron pendant lamps emphasise the connection to nature well.

Furniture and decorative accessories: which ones to choose for the Japandi bedroom?

The Japanese-Scandinavian style bedroom should be furnished with plants, vases, mirrors and paintings depicting natural elements.

As far as furniture is concerned, low furniture is favoured here. The star piece of furniture is the futon, the typical Japanese low bed, which perfectly blends Japanese and Nordic styles. Next to the futon, there are bedside tables, chest of drawers and benches or seats with essential lines and woody tones that give the sensation of warmth, well-being, relaxation and lightness.

Wallpaper: a must-have element in Japandi bedrooms

Wallpapers are very popular in a Japandi bedroom. Geometric shapes, Japanese art, Japanese landscapes and colours such as deep green give a unique touch to the bedroom area. LondonArt wallpapers, for example, give a touch of character to the spaces in which they are used, bringing a breath of lightness and expressive power to the walls. Collections ranging from floral and abstract themes to relief wallpapers are perfect for a Japanese-Scandinavian style setting.
