What is Japandi Houseplant Styling?

This trend finds beauty in simple things by combining elegant Japanese minimalism and rustic Scandinavian simplicity. Think of it as neutral colours, simple lines and big and beautiful leafy houseplant.

What are the elements of Japandi Styling?

If you are familiar with 'hygge' or Scandinavian styling, you will understand the concept of creating a cosy space. Your home is your sanctuary and a place of calm. 

Mix up that sense of Scandinavian calm with the traditional Japanese concept of 'wabi-sabi' centred on the importance of beautiful imperfection. Appreciating that nature, while beautiful, is never perfect.

The principles of wabi-sabi are asymmetry, simplicity, roughness, imperfection and appreciation of nature and natural things. 

Wabi-sabi is sometimes helpful if you think of yourself as a perfectionist and are never happy with your plants. It can challenge how you feel and make you appreciate your imperfect plants. 

Decorating in Japandi Style at home?

Focus on natural colours and materials, and avoid bright colours and clutter. Keep the space simple and aim to create harmony. Clean and open spaces are the key to Japandi styling, with one or two statement plants that have space to grow. 

Japandi style creates a sense of stability and permanence; choose plants you intend to keep and grow for years.
