Japandi style emphasises simplicity and minimalism, creating a harmonious look through a neutral colour
Japandi, a fusion of design styles, has gained immense popularity, especially here on the Sunshine Coast. Despite our coastal focus, modern coastal and Hampton coastal designs are proof that the fusion of design styles is certainly popular. The adaptability of Japandi interior design to various spaces and lifestyles contributes to its rising popularity. Merging the simplicity of Scandinavian interior design and Scandinavian homes with the warmth and beauty of Japanese design, Japandi creates a timeless and serene ambiance that resonates with many.
Japandi has accumulated significant media attention since 2023, particularly with the airing of The Block season. Steph and Gian, the show’s winners, showcased a home styled around Scandinavian design infused with Japanese culture, achieving the highest block profit to date. The image below features their living room, adorned with the exquisite GlobeWest Juno Channel sofa complemented by L&M Voyage and Etro cushions.

Despite designs being strongly influenced by our Noosa location, our SHOP offers pieces that customers can invest in and effortlessly integrate into their preferred Japandi style interiors, including Japandi.
How to Infuse Japandi into Your Home:
Natural Materials
Integrate natural materials like wood and bamboo into your space, whether through cabinetry, furniture (e.g., dining chairs), or bamboo décor. Wood brings a touch of the natural world into your home, aligning with Japanese minimalism and Scandinavian comfort.
Declutter and Embrace Minimalism
Streamline your space by decluttering and embracing minimalist design. Opt for a single focal piece instead of clusters of décor. This approach supports Japandi-style home principles, reflecting Japanese and Scandinavian aesthetics.
Limited Colour Palette
Restrict colour variation to a minimum, focusing on a monochromatic palette. Keep one main colour for a cohesive Japandi look, resonating with the neutral colours and earthy tones of Japanese and Scandinavian styles.
Quality Investments
Invest in high-quality furniture and décor. Considering Japandi’s emphasis on craftsmanship and sustainability, choose items that align with these principles. Opt for pieces that reflect quality craftsmanship and timeless elegance.
Low Furniture and Accessories
Maintain the Japandi aesthetic by opting for low furniture and accessories. Choose low-back dining chairs made of beautiful wood, vases, and sofas to enhance the overall look and feel of Japandi interiors.
Incorporate natural light to further enhance the serene and balanced nature of your Japandi space. By embracing Japandi interior design, you can create a home that reflects the beauty and elegance of Japanese and Scandinavian aesthetics. With functional interiors, natural materials, and simple lines, you can achieve a space that honours both Japanese style and Scandinavian style—a true reflection of Japandi design.
