8 Ways to Give More Japandi Vibes in Your Bedroom

Mixed of Scandinavian and Japanese interior design which is called Japandi style is becoming popular more and more. Japandi interiors are a great fit in the bedroom as it adds calmness, warmness and elegance. Whether you are redecorating your bedroom or starting from scratch and wanting to opt for Japandi interior design style for your bedroom, keep reading here. Because I am going to share 8 ways to Japandi your bedroom today.

Low Wooden Bed

One of the common values between Scandinavian and Japanese interior design is the use of wooden furniture made by craftsmanship. Japandi style loves using a mix of bright colours and dark colour wood. There are many types of wooden beds. But choosing a low wooden bed rather than a high wooden bed would make your bedroom Japandi.

The low wooden bed has been used for centuries in Japan. It is designed for sleeping and sitting on, not for standing on or sitting on it like a chair. The low wooden bed is usually made from Japanese cedar trees that have been cut down by hand with an axe so that each log has its own unique texture and colouration. The low wooden bed is designed to fit into any kind of space, but it will add character to any room if you choose one that matches your decorating scheme!

Rattan Light

Another must material for japandi interior design is rattan. If you’ve known me for a while, you may know that I always use a rattan item at least one for my design. Rattan is a perfect material for japandi design. Whether you use a pendant light or stand light in your bedroom, when you add rattan light, it instantly would make your room japandi. Rattan is a durable material. Therefore if you take care of it properly, it will last for generations.

Here are some examples:

Tatami

Tatami is a Japanese traditional mat that is made from the rush. You don’t need to use them in a whole room. You can lay 2 – 3 tatami mats in a corner as a meditation space, a nap space for children, or you could even use them in a study space. Nowadays, there are many kinds of colours and shapes to choose from. Therefore it would be a perfect fit in a modern Japandi style as well.

It is very easy to clean; all you need to do is flip it over every once in a while and vacuum up any loose dirt or dust. If you have children who like to play on the floor with their toys then this is an excellent option because the edges are rounded so they won’t cut into their skin!

Here is an example:

Shoji

Shoji is a very beautiful and unique Japanese traditional interior. It is a window and room divider that are made of a latticework wooden frame and covered with tough, translucent white paper. In the past, shoji was used to divide rooms, but today it has become a decorative piece of art in your home. You can use it instead of using a curtain, or you can incorporate it behind the head of the bed as decor.

Here are some examples:

Room Divider

Room dividers are one of the most versatile pieces of furniture you can have in your home. If you live in a studio and want to separate the bedroom from the living room, a room divider is perfect for that task. If you live in a huge bedroom and want to create a cosy space, room dividers are also a great option. They not only add extra functionality but also create more privacy, which is important for cities like London, and Amsterdam where people often share flats with strangers. To add Japandi vibes to your home, then wooden or rattan materials are great options as they are both eco-friendly and stylish.

Here are some examples:

Wood Slat Paneling

Incorporating wood slat panelling would enhance the aesthetic value of your Japandi style bedroom. Not only that but it has an insulating capacity that ensures that your house stays warm and cosy even during the worst of conditions. Moreover, you do not need to replace it as frequently. There are actually a few ways to install wood slat panelling in the bedroom. You can use it behind the bed, behind a desk or vanity, or as a room divider.

Here are some examples:

Grass Cloth Wallpaper

Grasscloth wallcovering is one of the easiest ways to make your bedroom more Japandi. It adds an elegant feeling yet simple and natural beauty. They have a wide range of beautiful colours and patterns. So you will definitely be able to find the one for your bedroom. My tip for hanging grasscloth wallpaper is that use it on one wall rather than all the walls. The wall that you installed grass cloth wallcovering will be an accent and will make a room appear larger and more spacious than it actually is. I personally love this style because it’s so easy to install, clean and maintain.

Earth Colour

When it comes to choosing a colour scheme for your bedroom, it’s important to think about what you want out of your space and how you want to feel when you’re there. Using earth and natural colours pair together beautifully and it makes your Japandi bedroom cosy and warm feelings. This warm colour scheme can help eliminate stress and anxiety because it is soothing, calming, and less stimulating to the eyes.
