6 Ways to Make Sustainable Jpandi Office Design

Working from home is the new normal now since the pandemic has started. Some people find it easier than working at the office, and some don’t. Which one are you? I personally think the difference between people who prefer remote work and who find it hard to be productive at home is whether they have got their own designed workspace that they can be productive or not. Creating a proper sustainable home office at your home will not only help you to focus on work and achieve daily goals more, but also it has benefits to your health (Mentally and physically) as well as to the environment. Having said that, Japandi style is the perfect design for a home office as the style is able to provide calmness, cleanness, and healthiness.

Today, I am going to share why you should choose Japanadi design for your home office and how to create Japandi home office which will improve your productivity, creativity, and health while respecting mother earth.

Why Should You Choose Japandi Design?

Japandi is a combination of Japanese and Scandinavian interior design styles which focus on simplicity, functionality, and minimalism. So why Japandi? Japandi design is not only about aesthetics. It is deeper than that. I believe there is a connection between nature and home environment and the positive impact it has on physical health and mental wellness. Japandi design is exactly the design that makes a positive impact on your home environment, your family health and the planet by using natural materials, furniture and objects.

And also Japandi style emphasizes a less-is-more approach to sustainability. Applying Japandi interiors and using Japandi furniture at your home office can create a clean, healthy and calm environment. This healthy environment can improve your productivity and creativity so that you can focus on your work.

There are six things you can consider when creating Japandi home office in your home. I will walk you through one by one.

Decluttering

This is the first thing you need to do when you start creating Japandi home office. Well if you just moved into the house, this is irrelevant for you. As I mentioned above, Japandi design embraces the notion that “less is more” and focuses on minimalism. Obviously, you do not have to throw away anything. But select carefully what you really need in the home office. Keep only stuff that you use for work and declutter as much as possible. You can move unnecessary stuff into other rooms or give it away to your friends, colleagues or charity shops. This process will provide cleanness and freshness for the home office. Trust me you feel better and blank space allows the eye to relax and concentrate on your work.

Choose Quality Over Quantity

Japandi design very much values traditional craftsmanship, artisans and high-skill handmade pieces that are built with integrity. Merge that with Japandi’s sustainable mindset by investing in furnishings made from sustainable materials by artisans. The advantage of investing in these high-quality pieces is not only longevity and durability but also since they create each piece by hand, the piece will be the only one unique decor for your home and that will make your home office more lovable and warm. If you live in the UK, I recommend checking out Konk, Bombinate, and West elm. If you live in the Netherlands, check out Leolux, Pastoe and Zuiver.

They have beautiful sustainable home decor that supports a practical function-driven space for the home office.

Opt for Natural Materials Home Decor

Natural materials like wood, bamboo, cork, rattan, hemp are ideal and are standard features in japandi interiors. Besides being environmentally-friendly, natural materials used products tend to contain much lesser volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or potentially toxic substances compared to home decor made of synthetic materials. That means you can work in a healthy Japandi home office by opting for green materials decor.

Create Warmness

Home office is where you spend at least half of a day or maybe more. Usually, an office has unthoughtful design and a lack of warmth which doesn’t help you to be productive at all. However, since the design of the home office is all in your hands, you should opt for warm textures and colours in your Japandi home office in order to improve productivity and creativity. For example, you can place hand woven cotton throw, wild silk cushion, 100% handwoven wool cushions in the armchair or bench, beautiful sustainable pet rug or Handmade OEKO-TEX standard 100 linen curtain.

Have Some Sustainable Indoor Plants and Flowers

Minimalism is not only a physical aspect of the design. It also considers the spiritual and abstract assets such as nature, people, abstract figures, natural light, sky, earth and air. You may already know that humans have a connection and dialogue with the surrounding environment. Therefore, having some indoor plants such as Strelitzia nicolai, Scindapsus pictus ‘Argyraeus’, or Schefflera arboricola ‘Melanie’ and Flowers like White Willd Orchid, Natural Grace, Autumn hydrangea will make you calm and able to perform best at work. So sustainable plans and flowers are essential when you create Japandi home office!

Natural Light

According to CISION PR Newswire “optimizing the amount of natural light in an office significantly improves health and wellness among workers, leading to gains in productivity,”. Therefore, choose a room where you can get natural sunlight if it’s possible. If you cannot have a home office with natural sunlight, a desk or standing lamp which softly diffuses throughout the room can make all the difference. Welsh Cottage light, Noko Black Wicker Conical Pendant, or Oiled Oak Edgar Floor Lamp will complement your Japandi home office space!
