So, you’ve been looking for a simple and minimalist bedroom decor. Recently, you stumbled upon Japandi, but you have not gotten the hang of it. Here is a straightforward yet comprehensive guide to help you realize your aspirations.
First Things First–What is Japandi Style?
It’s a hybrid of Japanese aesthetics and Scandinavian functional design elements. A style that has become a buzzword in the global interior design industry. In short, it’s where simplicity meets elegance. Thus, the term ‘Japandi’ comes from combining Japanese and Scandinavian.
For the organized nature lover you are, this is it. A Japandi bedroom will offer you a calm atmosphere. Imagine your favorite natural elements straight from the loving arms of Mother Nature.
If you are someone who loves staying organized, craves calm, and feels at home with natural material, then this style has your name written all over it. Your perfect bedroom space is a full self-expression of your true personality.
Core Elements of A Japandi Bedroom
Japandi thrives on simplicity. Just focus on these four essentials, and you’re well on your way. Incorporate these four elements into your style, and you are good to go:
Neutral Color Palette
Let’s start here because you will need to lay a foundation. Japandi bedroom colors are the neutrals. The likes of beiges, whites, soft grays, muted greens, and taupe.
The ability of these colors to create a calm and soothing environment is on another level. But it does not mean that you can’t have a delicate dash of color pops. So, go ahead and do your thing.
Natural Materials
Nature exudes a warmth that engulfs even our souls. And Japandi decor embraces natural materials as a key element in its style.
Think of picture frames made from natural twigs or handwoven wicker baskets. Or better still, flower vases hewn straight from stone and a side stool carved from an old log of wood.
In short, natural decor items bring unadulterated beauty in teeny tiny imperfections. It is the ‘wabi-sabi’ notion of Japanese decor. It embraces the exquisite beauty brought about by the simplicity of earthy charms.
Minimalist Furniture and Functional Design
Remember! Minimalism is essential in achieving a Japandi bedroom decor. Go for multipurpose organic furniture to keep the room uncluttered. Like a light stand with storage spaces or a foldable table that expands when needed. A foldable futon bed, maybe? The choice is yours.
Ensure that every piece of furniture in the room serves a purpose. Do away with idle items.
The balance between function and form. Not overly decorated pieces, but visually appealing at the same time.
Soft Textures and Low-Profile Aesthetics
Textures like cotton, linen, silk, and wool are great for Japandi home decorations. Consider using them for your curtains and cushions. Use see-through sheers during the day. They add natural beauty to a room by allowing light and protecting the occupants from harmful sun rays.
For your bed, use durable and breathable natural textiles. Like linen for your sheets, silk-covered cushions, and a fluffy woolen comforter. These textiles give soft textures that add elegance, warmth, and comfort to your space.
Using Murals to Elevate the Japandi Vibe
Having seen how the Japandi style for the bedroom can be achieved organically, here is how to take it a notch higher. Use murals to reach the epitome of this style’s warmth and minimalism fusion.
Of course, you will still have your neutral colors. Have them accessorized by bold brushstrokes of their darker hues. The art could be abstract or of intricate patterns. If you are not creating texture via the art on the wallpaper, you can use a textured mural or canvas.
The goal is to add depth and palpable dimensions to your sleeping space with absolutely no clutter.
Top Japandi-Inspired Wall Mural Ideas to Inspire you
Murals complement Japandi decor with a touch of excellence. Watercolor landscapes, abstract nature patterns, and minimal Japanese art are a few of them. Here are some ideas.
Neutral-Toned Abstract Murals:
Neutrals are a win-win for Japandi bedroom wallpaper.
Have a gray abstract sea mural, for instance. It will take your mind from the ever-running mode to a calm state in a fraction of a second.
And an abstract bearing shapes of different pink hues. It makes your mood better right away.
Watercolor Mountains or Misty Forests:
Watercolors have a way of making images pop out. Especially when the images are landscapes.
Imagine getting into your space bearing a huge Japanese-style landscape. Distant mountains through which an extra-large full red moon is rising and it seems so real. And the little islands full of towering trees and green shrubs exude a great sense of calmness.
A wide river is flowing through the scenery. Its clear waters reflect the breathtaking landscape. Making you feel grateful for being here.
Now, make that side your accent wall so you can enjoy that view while on your simple, elegant, and comfortable bed.
Wabi-Sabi Inspired Textures:
Need a cozy and inviting space within your reach? Go for wabi-sabi-inspired textures.
What about an imperfect deep brown tree branch on a cream background? Let it have no leaves and bear some smaller broken branches. A beautiful yellow sun is setting on the horizon behind a vast, dry, and cracked ground.
Enjoying the splendor of imperfection is a key foundation of Japandi.
Scandinavian Nature Elements in Muted Palettes:
A serene light blue background with a light white clouds mural is enough to make you feel relaxed.
Add to it lots of golden brown and white bird images of different sizes.
Let them blast from a leafless tree that seems to pop from below your simple but luxurious bed’s headboard.
Tips to Style A Japandi Bedroom
Let’s look at more tips you can incorporate into your style to make your bedroom even better.
- Always pair Japandi bedroom wallpaper murals with neutral bedding and wooden furniture.
- Emphasize natural light and airy, free spaces characteristic of open floor plans.
- Keep accessories minimal. And stay in line with Japanese and Scandinavian minimalist design practices.
