Getting familiar with Japandi

Japandi is a new design trend that fuses Japanese warmth and Scandinavian minimalism. Scandinavian design employs the Hygge concept that puts focus on comfort and hominess. Japanese spaces, on the other hand, are perfectly imperfect and evolve from the concept of wabi-sabi (a world view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection).

Japandi is a perfect marriage of cold, rustic Scandinavian look to a warm, sleek Japanese feel.
