Furniture
Interior designer Ana Paula de Almeida explains that the furniture that makes up Japanese decor has a simple, minimalist design and is low, that is, closer to the floor. Natural raw materials also gain space. Therefore, it is possible to opt for furniture made of wood and natural fibers, such as wicker and bamboo. According to architect Bruna Del Frari, this gives the environment a more natural atmosphere.
Color palette
Softness and neutrality are two strong points in japandi style colors. According to Bruna Del Frari, this type of decoration is made up of earthy tones, gray and pink. But there is also room for slightly darker colors. “In japandi, white is used together with more neutral and softer colors and in mixtures with darker tones, such as blue, green and brownish-gray”, adds the architect.
Lighting
Lighting is very important in japandi decoration, as it helps to enhance environments. According to interior designer Ana Paula de Almeida, the light can be either direct how indirect. “The really important thing is that she manages to create a cozy and welcoming atmosphere for the place”, she says. For this, the professional recommends using chandeliers, pendants, sconces or lamps, but made of natural materials, such as straw, wood and rice leaf.
Decorative objects
Although the japandi style is marked by simplicity, it is still possible to insert some decorative items in the environments (but without excesses, of course). Bruna Del Frari and Ana Paula de Almeida indicate using objects made from natural raw materials, such as wood, stone, bamboo and dry branches. Minimalist frames are also a good option.
Plants
As for the plants in this style of decoration, Japanese customs stand out. “In Japanese homes, the gardens are full of symbolism”, explains Ana Paula de Almeida. In this way, one can insert, in the environments, plants such as cherry trees, bonsai trees, maidenhair ferns, small trees and even dry plants.
