Tidy space and minimalist decor

Japandi is defined by a minimalist decor that seeks to eliminate excess and focus on the essential. In other words, simplicity and the absence of clutter are key elements of a successful Japandi décor. Make sure every object has a precise function and a dedicated space, to create a soothing, harmonious environment. 
Pro tip: niches, whether used in the shower or elsewhere, and wall-mounted shelves are great allies in maximizing your space. 

Neutral, natural color palette

The dominant colors of the Japandi style are neutral, earthy tones such as beige, gray and white. Of course, this neutral base can be paired with nature-inspired shades such as sage green, light blue and terracotta, or with darker, deeper colors like brown and burgundy to accentuate the decor.
Black is generally used sparingly in elements such as fittings, hardware and fixtures, helping to highlight these integral parts of the interior design. 

The materials

Once again, the use of natural materials is to be preferred. These materials will bring warmth, authenticity and style to your bathroom. Wood, ceramics, linen and cotton are widely used to create a design that reflects the Japandi trend.

Pro tip: for an even more impressive effect, opt for wood shades that contrast with the paint. For example, pairing dark wood with pale paint will create a warm, elegant ambience.

Add greenery

Houseplants, bonsais and elements of nature play an important role in bringing a touch of greenery and serenity to the space. Place a few plants in your décor and you'll notice an instant difference in the overall ambience of your bathroom.

Sleek, functional furniture

Influenced by Scandinavian and Japanese styles, simple ergonomic shapes are the order of the day. Choose furniture with simple, clean lines that will blend in perfectly with your new décor. 

The functional aspect of furniture is a key element in the Japanese trend. Each piece of furniture chosen for your bathroom should be thought through in terms of storage space, ergonomics and function.

Pro tip: add a shelf under your hanging vanity to add storage while maintaining the room's minimalist look.

Soft, natural lighting

To accentuate your Japandi decor, opt for discreet lighting. If the room's configuration allows, opt for natural light. Otherwise, choose lighting that mimics daylight to highlight the elements of your decoration.

Handcrafted decoration

Raw-looking decorative objects, such as handmade ceramics, blend perfectly with Japandi décor. Opt for simple, uncluttered decorative pieces to add character to your space. The secret of successful Japandi decorating: less is more.
