Scandinavian design style has been on the very top of the interior design world for a couple of seasons now, and Asian wasn?t falling behind either. It was just a matter of time when we will see these two styles of surprisingly similar aesthetics joining forces and creating a unique offspring ? Japandi.

Drawing inspiration from the Japanese principle of wabi-sabi, the essence of which is finding beauty in imperfection, and Scandinavian clean, yet playful design, Japandi produces a soulful approach to interior design that will impact the way we decorate our homes in 2017 and beyond. Before you decide to implement it into your home, let?s learn something more about it.

The concept of wabi-sabi originates from Zen Buddhism, also known as Japanese Zen, and is based on the idea of the beauty of imperfection. This school of Buddhism emphasizes self-control, modesty and deep bond with nature ? features that we can find in both Asian and Scandinavian décor.
