Japandi Style is a home decorating style that continues to capture the hearts of Thai people, thanks to its simplicity while still creating a warm atmosphere. It is perfect for a home that offers both physical and emotional comfort. As we welcome the new year 2023, the Year of the Rabbit, SCG HOME Experience invites you to brighten up your space together with Khun Jeng Chaisak Jaratsriwisit, Senior Living Experience Designer, who will share tips on decorating in Japandi Style.

The Japandi Style is a blend of home characteristics from both sides of the world: the Scandinavian Style from the West, which emphasizes bright tones accented with soft pastel colors and clean lines, and the Japanese Style from the East, which respects the beauty of nature and incorporates it into the home's atmosphere. The fusion of these two styles results in a home decor that promotes relaxation.

1) Open and Airy Spaces

Airflow is crucial for the quality of indoor spaces. Consider rearranging furniture or redesigning areas to connect different spaces within your home. For instance, placing the dining table adjacent to the living area can link the two rooms and create a flexible space for various activities. Take this opportunity in the new year to declutter and organize your belongings, making your home look tidy, open, and visually appealing. Additionally, establish a daily routine of opening windows for at least one hour to allow fresh air in and old air out. This not only brings in light and breeze but also helps maintain a comfortable indoor atmosphere. Installing a humidifier can also prevent the air from becoming too dry, making breathing easier and more comfortable.

 

2) Natural Light for Comfort

Research shows that natural light in buildings not only reduces electricity consumption but also has psychological benefits, creating a warm feeling as if you are close to nature. One option to allow just the right amount of natural light into your home without it being too hot or glaring is to add a shade roof, such as the Shinkolite Heat Cut acrylic roof, which filters light to an appropriate level while also blocking heat.

Another way to brighten and simplify a room is to choose soft-toned walls that are easy on the eyes. Whether it's Pure White or Accessible Beige, these colors can make a room feel naturally bright and warm, and they pair well with both light-colored Japanese wood and Scandinavian pastel tones.

3) Warm Wooden Textures

The essence of Japandi Style is to connect with nature, and this extends to the choice of materials within the space. Consider mixing materials that mimic the texture and appearance of wood, such as SCG Decor's Wood-Di in Ash Wood Beige. The innovation of Digital Printing today allows patterns and textures to closely resemble natural wood. This can be used to decorate certain wall sections, adding warmth and dimension to the room.

Alternatively, you can opt for a more significant change by installing flooring that feels like wood. For example, UNIX's 12 mm Click Lock laminate flooring in Siam Teak not only has a natural wood-like texture but also easily creates a warm Muji-style atmosphere in your home.

4) Soft and Gentle Color Tones

Light-colored wood remains a staple that highlights Japandi Style decor. Consider choosing light-colored wooden furniture for your home, complemented by soft furnishings like cushions and rugs in white or gray tones. This breaks up the wood elements and makes the home feel softer, more inviting, and friendly.

Create a small outdoor corner for coffee breaks; it's a great way to utilize a small space while creating a vibrant atmosphere. Just place a Rhythm Table Set from SSTEEL in your front yard or balcony, and decorate it with potted plants or flowers to add a refreshing touch to your home.

5) Handmade Items for Uniqueness

Small decorative items, especially handmade ones, add charm and create a unique character for each corner of your home. A cozy seating area adorned with handmade wall decor or souvenirs from your travels can serve as delightful accents.

On your everyday dining table, enhance the experience with earth-toned dishware from Sonite Decor, made from natural materials. This adds to the dining atmosphere and perfectly embodies the essence of Japandi Style.
