Japandi-Style is a design trend that has been gaining popularity in recent years. This style is a combination of Japanese and Scandinavian design elements and focuses on simplicity, minimalism, and functionality. This design style is perfect for small bathrooms as it creates a serene and spa-like atmosphere. Here are some tips on how to incorporate Japandi-Style into your bathroom design.
Getting Started with Japandi Style Design
Japandi style design is perfect for bathrooms because it’s all about creating a serene and uncluttered space. Here are some ways to get started with your Japandi-style bathroom project:
- Start with the basics. Japandi style is all about simplicity, so start by decluttering your bathroom and getting rid of any unnecessary items. If you don’t use it, lose it! This will help to create a sense of space and calm in your bathroom.
- Keep the colour palette simple and neutral. The key colours in Japandi style are black, white, and natural wood tones. Use these colours sparingly and make sure they are well balanced. Too much of one colour can be overwhelming, so use them judiciously to create a sense of harmony in your bathroom.
- Bring in some nature. One of the things that makes Japandi style, so calming is the incorporation of nature. Add some green plants to your bathroom to create a sense of peace and serenity. If you don’t have room for plants, try using bamboo or stone accents instead.
- Keep it simple. The key to achieving a Japandi look is to keep things simple and uncluttered. This means choosing clean lines and muted colours. Avoid patterns and busy prints as they will only make your space look smaller. Stick to a few key pieces of furniture and accessories and don’t be afraid to empty out your cupboards and declutter your surfaces. Remember, less is more.
- Let in the light. Another important element of Japandi design is letting in plenty of natural light. So, if possible, choose a bathroom with large windows or skylights. If this isn’t possible, consider installing some strategically placed mirrors to help reflect the light around your space.
- Use natural materials. Japandi style bathrooms are typically very minimalist, so it’s important to choose materials that will complement this aesthetic. Look for products made from natural materials such as wood, stone, bamboo, or glass. These materials will help create a calming atmosphere in your bathroom.
