Create a Japandi Style Home

What is Japandi style? Japandi interior design blends the smooth, crisp modern lines of a Scandinavian design with the functional and sleek elegance of the Japanese aesthetic and therefore creates a beautifully unique fusion between the two styles.

The key to nailing the Japandi design is to focus on creating a relaxing, calm, peaceful and comfortable environment. If you don’t add enough accessories to the space you can risk presenting a room that feels clinical and cold. If you add too many accessories and furnishings to the space you can risk turning your space into a Maximalist haven. It’s all about finding the balance - so our Interior Designer has provided you with some key do’s & don’ts to help you nail the Japandi vibe.

Whether it’s a Japandi living room, Japandi bathroom, a Japandi bedroom or a Japandi kitchen that you’re feeling inspired to create, we’ve explored the style in-depth so that you’ve got all the tools you need to create your dream Japandi home.

How to achieve the Japandi look:

  • Incorporate clean lines - look for lighting, vanities and tiles that are simply designed and structured
  • Style your home with earthy handmade accessories
  • Contrast is your friend! The key to perfecting Japandi decor is to incorporate dramatic contrast. For example, you can incorporate a rich timber floor, with black tapware and accessories to create real contrast.
  • An essential element to Japandi design is Minimalism
  • The Japandi colour palette is borrowed from the current Scandi trend (such as soft pinks, greys, tonal wood, etc.) - however, there are subtle differences as Japandi welcomes deep navy tones, mint and emerald green and darker tone woods.
  • Let a bit of the natural outside world in - add plants & a splash of green!

Traps to avoid:

  • Don’t use too much light toned timber, if this is what you’re drawn to then Scandinavian might be your style!
  • Keep the bright and bold colours away, they don’t belong in Japandi interiors
  • Don’t over-clutter the room with a lot of accessories and unnecessary furnishings unless you’re after a Maximalist style
  • Ignoring the walls - don’t forget to add warm tones and textures to your walls
  • Don’t flood the room with a bright coloured feature wall

Discover Japandi Style: Effortless Elegance for Australian Homes

Japandi design merges the quiet refinement of Japanese minimalism with Scandinavian warmth. This style thrives on balance—clean lines meet organic textures, muted tones harmonise with natural light, and every element serves a purpose. At The Blue Space, we’ve curated bathroom, kitchen, and laundry collections that embody this philosophy. Let’s explore how our products can help you craft spaces that feel both calming and intentional.

Japandi vanities: Thoughtful storage, timeless appeal

A japandi vanity is about quiet confidence. Picture light oak or walnut finishes paired with smooth, matte surfaces. These pieces avoid clutter through hidden compartments and slim profiles, focusing on craftsmanship that stands the test of time.

Our japandi vanities feature integrated stone basins and soft-close drawers. Wall-mounted options free up floor space, while freestanding designs add sculptural interest. Pair them with our minimalist taps for a unified look.

Japandi bathroom accessories: Purposeful simplicity

Accessories should enhance without overwhelming. Think unglazed ceramic soap dishes, linen towels, or bamboo trays. Each item is chosen for its texture and utility, contributing to a space that feels curated, not crowded.

The Blue Space’s japandi bathroom accessories include handwoven storage baskets and stone toothbrush holders. These details work quietly to maintain order, letting the room’s simplicity take centre stage.

Japandi kitchen sinks: Understated durability

A japandi kitchen sink prioritises quiet functionality. Fireclay or composite stone models with slender rims and matte finishes blend seamlessly into countertops. Integrated drainboards and sound-absorbing materials make daily tasks feel effortless.

Our japandi kitchen sinks are built for longevity. Pair them with discreet cabinet handles to maintain a clean aesthetic.

Japandi baths: Tranquil focal points

Freestanding baths in organic shapes—oval, rectangular, or asymmetrical—anchor the space. Materials like stone resin or matte ceramics develop a gentle patina over time, adding character while inviting relaxation.

Explore our japandi bath collection, designed with ergonomic curves and textured finishes. Combine with underfloor heating for warmth underfoot during cooler months.

Japandi lighting: Layers of warmth

Lighting should mimic the soft diffusion of daylight. Paper lanterns, frosted glass pendants, or timber sconces create pools of gentle illumination. Avoid stark overhead lights—opt for fixtures that cast shadows and highlight textures.

Our japandi lighting range includes rattan pendants and mirrors with integrated LED strips. These pieces add depth without disrupting the room’s serenity.

Japandi handles: Intuitive design

Hardware should feel like a natural extension of your cabinetry. Brushed brass, matte black, or timber knobs with rounded edges invite touch while maintaining visual subtlety.

The Blue Space’s door levers and cabinet handles are designed for daily ease. Their understated profiles complement both modern and rustic interiors.

Japandi showers: Airy sanctuaries

Frameless glass screens, stone floor tiles, and concealed fittings create a sense of openness. Built-in niches or timber benches add practicality without visual noise, turning your shower into a retreat.

Our japandi shower range includes rainfall showerheads and linear drains. Pair with bathroom heating for year-round comfort.

Japandi mirrors: Functional art

Mirrors in japandi spaces amplify light and dimension. Slim blackened steel or light timber frames keep the focus on reflection, while anti-fog coatings add practicality.

Browse our japandi mirrors, available in round or asymmetric shapes. Position them to capture morning light or highlight a feature wall.

Japandi laundry: Hidden order

Concealed storage, durable surfaces, and neutral palettes define a japandi laundry. Open shelving with linen baskets keeps essentials accessible but out of sight, while stone sinks resist stains and wear.

The Blue Space offers laundry solutions, including custom cabinetry and composite sinks. Pair with door hardware that aligns with the room’s minimalist ethos.

Japandi tiles: Earthy foundations

Floor and wall tiles ground the space with organic textures. Terracotta, limestone, or large-format ceramics in soft greys and whites add tactile interest. Use textured tiles as accents—in shower niches or behind vanities—to avoid overwhelming the eye.

Our japandi tile collection features handcrafted options with irregular edges. Order samples to see how natural light plays with each finish.

Why The Blue Space?

With over a decade of expertise, The Blue Space bridges design and practicality. We select products that marry beauty with resilience, ensuring your home evolves gracefully. From basins to toilets, each piece is chosen for its ability to simplify daily life while elevating your space.
