As much as we love a maximalist home, there’s just something about Japandi minimalism that hits like the design equivalent of Prozac. You know what Japandi style is, even if you don’t think you do; the term is a portmanteau of “Japanese” and “Scandi” for home decor and furnishings that pull from both cultures’ iconic design sensibilities. Think, ambient rice paper Noguchi lamps, Hans Wegner chairs, HAY homewares, and iconic mid-century modern investment pieces. It’s inviting, versatile, and sophisticated without ever feeling stuffy.
Luckily, finding affordable Japandi furniture and decor (that looks way more expensive than it is) has never been easier. Once upon a time, we would have had to smash our proverbial piggy banks to score a vintage Danish coffee table, simp over the sale section at Design Within Reach, or fantasize about running up our credit card for a Finn Juhl credenza.
