Japandi Floor: how to create a warm & minimalist interior
Are you looking for an interior style that brings peace and calm, yet still feels warm and welcoming? Then a floor in Japandi style is exactly what you need. This interior trend blends the best of two design worlds: the clean simplicity of Scandinavian design and the natural elegance of Japanese wabi-sabi. And where does it all begin? With the foundation: the floor. Discover how a Floorify floor helps you create the perfect Japandi vibe at home.
What is Japandi?
Origin: Scandinavian minimalism × Japanese wabi-sabi
The Japandi interior style is a fusion of Japanese and Scandinavian design, influenced by the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi and the Scandinavian concept of hygge. On one side, you have Scandinavian minimalism: light, functional, and pared back. On the other, the beauty of wabi-sabi is focused on imperfection, simplicity, and natural elements. Together, they create a style that’s all about balance, calm, and comfort
The Key Elements of Japandi Style
Think natural tones, minimalistic design, and organic shapes. Japandi combines the cosy warmth of Scandinavian living with the serene simplicity of Japanese interiors. Picture pale woods, soft textures, low furniture, and a strong focus on functionality. It’s all about quality over quantity, attention to detail, and a love for craftsmanship. Plants, earthy colours, and restrained decoration create a peaceful and harmonious feel where every object has a place and a purpose.
Which Floor Matches a Japandi Interior?
A Japandi interior calls for a floor that reflects calm and nature. Think soft shades, subtle textures, and a clean, minimalist look. Floorify concrete-look tiles, like Jellyfish, are perfect for anyone who loves a serene, sleek base with a touch of warmth. Light herringbone planks also make a great choice, because tey introduce a refined pattern without overwhelming the space. Prefer something simpler? Our light planks with a natural wood grain are ideal. Each of these floors fits the Japandi aesthetic beautifully, creating a tranquil and balanced atmosphere throughout your home.
