If you want to give your living room an air of well-being and... sustainability, the following tips will help you to successfully implement the Japandi trend in your space.
If you are thinking of changing the decoration in your living room and turning it into a welcoming space, a space that promotes relaxation, maybe the Japandi trend is the one you need to follow. Japandi not only focuses on creating spaces that meet the above needs but at the same time promotes a more sustainable lifestyle.
If you don't know how to get started, we have a mini-guide for you to take your first successful steps.
Choose a neutral color scheme
Japandi is all about creating a relaxing, minimal space. Color-wise this translates into neutral combinations. Bring to mind shades of beige, grey, and stone. These colors will cover the walls and the upholstery of large pieces of furniture, such as a sofa. Of course, if you want, you can add subtle notes of more vibrant shades through decorative pieces. Don't be afraid of contrasts and choose soft shades of pink, blue, green, or grey. You can still add darker colors, such as black and charcoal.
Take advantage of the power of light
Light, especially natural light, plays an important role in a Japandi-style living room, as beyond the obvious, it strengthens the connection with the outside environment. What can you do in this case? Choose sheer curtains that allow sunlight to pass through. If your living room is dark due to layout, you can overcome the problem with various clever tricks, e.g. using mirrors that will reflect light from other rooms.
A Japandi-style living room requires natural materials
Once you've decided on wall colors and basic furniture, the next step is to introduce elements that add interest and balance to the space. A neutral background can be combined with handmade objects and elements that bring the feeling of the countryside to your living room. Natural fibers and sustainable materials (eg wood, rattan, bamboo, wool, cotton) have the first say in this case.
Pay attention to decorations too
With so many neutral colors and shades, you may feel that your living room lacks visual interest. Now it's time to get down to the details. In a Japandi-style living room, you can add subtle touches of color and suitable patterns through pillows, throws and decorative objects. You can put accessories in Japanese style, as well as mirrors, picture frames, table lamps, vases, works of art.
Don't forget the plants
Plants are a key element in this particular style of decoration. Add potted plants as well as non-potted plants to liven up the room. Prefer plants that do not need special care, such as succulents, bonsai, bamboo. Alternatively, you can put dried branches and flowers in a handmade ceramic vase.
