Creating Calm Interiors with Japandi Decor

Abstract artwork focuses on the small sofa in our first Japandi living space. The rich neutral color of the wall art inspires dark beige scattered cushions on the white sofa and draws visual connections with a natural wooden tone around the room.

A monochrome Scandinavian rug spreads a bold pattern across the small lounge area, and comfortably defines it from the rest of the opening plan.

The modern wooden bookshelf is lightly accessorized with small and elegant ornaments that neither require attention nor clutter the airy interior.

A large dining room hanger remains understated in its solid white color. The white light shade blends quietly with a row of solid white kitchen wall units in the back, while the wooden dining table visually blends in with the natural wood base units.

A lounge chair, a small side table and a mature indoor plant slot into the transfer space between areas, forming a beautiful reading song.

The white walls of the living room not only paint a peaceful environment but create a clean background that can act as a casual projector screen whenever needed.

Botanical screens explode with texture and color on a small console table in the corner, where a rotating floor lamp glows softly.

We begin our second home tour in an elegant living space design where the high ceiling height is accentuated by high custom cabinets. Jute carpet completes the honeycomb tone of the double-banked untis.

A modern sofa threads a cool gray accent in front of the warm wood tone wall.

The narrow, rectangular coffee table throws neatly across the compact lounge area, separating the sofa from two modern armchairs placed opposite each other. At the back, a built-in shelf ensures that the creamy stucco walls remain streamlined.

Raw gray concrete floods the floor of the entire apartment, from the living room to the dining room, to the kitchen.

A rustic fruit bowl provides the dining table with a simple but functional headpiece.

The modern staircase design is covered in natural timber with a solid wooden railing.

Above in the kitchen layout, a central kitchen island is raised on slender legs to optically lighten its size.

Built-in units draw around the black kitchen island in a soft wood tone.

Materials board.

This 85 square meter apartment is located in Lviv, Ukraine.

Double workspaces are installed through the windows to take advantage of most natural light. A bookshelf is flush adjacent to complete the edge-to-edge installation.

The small kitchen seems much larger than its limited size thanks to ice-white unit finishes and desks.

A custom bench carves an L-shaped dining room into one corner of the kitchen. The bench adds a warm wood tone to the cool white decor, which is mirrored by a set of tall wooden grain units located opposite.

The white kitchen ends at a wooden lath screen that marks the home entrance.

Appearing wall lights illuminate an all-white corridor that leads to the bedrooms and bathroom.

Inside the first minimalist bedroom, a custom-made platform bed with storage was created to perfectly match the length of the wall. White closets walk to a height-equal wall mirror, where the resulting optical illusion doubles the length of the storage.

Home workspace surrounds the opposite side of the bedroom. A white swivel chair contrasts with the natural wooden desk.

The second bedroom is an almost accurate mirror image to the first. Here, the swivel chair pulls up to a usual desk with a bookshelf formed under it.

The bathroom follows a lacquered color palette of white and beige.

A similar decorative pattern forms the powder room. Bold matte black accents sharply puncture the creamy walls and miniban sink.

Finally, our third featured home design is spiced up with a complex wow factor. A huge landscape vignette smokes through a living room presentation wall in shades of deep shadow.

The umbra artwork is a color complemented by a modern floor lamp next to the cool cream modular sofa.

A modern living room chair clearly matches the cream cover of the sofa, and connects with the soothing wood grain of the living room wall panels.

A decorative vase supports a branch that extends aptly across the landscape vignette.

More Mother Nature kisses are put on the dining room. The Japanese-style paper lantern is the Formakami JH5 Pendant by Jaime Hayón for & Tradition.

Pocket doors adjoin the dining room with the kitchen.

Curved dining chairs gently embrace the rounded edges of the dining table.

A neat contemporary stool changes the dining furniture layout.

The plant arrangements expand on the color theme set by the art in the living room.

On the table, a Japanese teapot requires a moment of relaxation and conversation.
