Japandi Kitchens

Japandi Kitchens

JAPANDI KITCHENS

Japandi kitchens beautifully merge two iconic design philosophies; Scandinavian warmth and comfort with Japanese functionality and minimalism.

The Japandi style is rapidly gaining traction in the realm of kitchen design in 2024, and is distinguished by its emphasis on clean lines, strategic use of light, and the incorporation of natural materials. This design philosophy uses a refined, neutral colour palette, enriched by deep, earthy tones, to create an elegant and cohesive aesthetic that celebrates comfortable, well-lit, serene spaces.

Japandi interior design originated in the early 21st century. It emerged in the mid-2010s as designers and homeowners began to appreciate the shared principles of minimalism, functionality, and a preference for natural materials found in both Japanese and Scandinavian styles. Japandi emphasises simplicity, natural elements, and an earthy palette, making it a popular choice for those seeking a peaceful and uncluttered living space.

Embrace the Japandi style in your kitchen with natural wood finishes, minimalist furniture, and a neutral palette, accented by tones of brown and green for subtle colour highlights.

For a striking contrast, consider incorporating darker tones, particularly through cabinetry, which can anchor the space and add depth. Keep decor minimal and maximise natural light to truly capture the tranquil essence of Japandi style.

Loving the Japandi style and wanting to emulate it in your own kitchen? Get in touch with our team to begin your journey to crafting your dream kitchen.

DESIGN FEATURE

Feature Highlight: Contrasting Cabinetry

In this Japandi-style kitchen, contrasting cabinetry artfully blends the dark hues typical of Japanese design with the neutral wood colours of Scandinavian style. In this kitchen shown here, we’ve used Polytec Bottega Oak alongside Polytec Natural Ravine, with a focus on the darker tones to echo the Japanese aesthetic. 

The Scandinavian influence is evident in the lighter wood sections, minimalist features such as the concealed rangehood and floating shelves, and the clean lines of the layered island bench, which highlights the natural beauty of the wood. Additionally, the stools serve as a subtle nod to Scandinavian interior design, enhancing the overall harmony and elegance of the space.

This fusion of functionality and natural beauty makes the Japandi style a compelling choice for those seeking tranquility and style in their kitchen environment.
