Beautiful minimalist furniture trends are taking over UK homes, and it’s called Japandi! Japandi furniture is a happy mix of Japanese calm and Scandinavian coziness.

So, what is Japandi exactly, and how can you bring it into your home? It does not matter if you live in a small apartment or a big house, this guide will help you get started with Japandi-style deco rating. Look no further than our curated furniture collection at Ofcasa, linked below to help you get the look just right!
What is Japandi Style?
Japandi is a mix of Japanese minimalism, which is simple and calm, and Scandinavian hygge which is warm and has clean line home decor. Japandi is not just about how things appear, it is about living simple and choosing quality over quantity.
Japandi style often uses natural wood furniture, linen, and bamboo. It features soft, neutral colors such as white, grey, and beige, and is known for smooth shapes, simple lines, and furniture that looks good and works well.
How to Make Your UK Flat Japandi-Style
UK homes are often small, especially in the city, so Japandi’s clean and clever furniture styles are a great fit. Here is how to try it:
- Use calm neutral colors and natural materials for the base: paint walls in off-whites or soft greys. For furniture, pick natural fabrics, or furniture with clean and brignt finish.
The Elowen Round Dining Table (paired with Aoife Dining Chairs) is a dream for small dining areas! Its rounded shape saves space, while the white marble-like finish and sleek legs keep the look clean and classy.

- Layer cozy textures: mix soft and natural items to give your house a warm minimalist interior. A beige boucle chair paired with a linen table runner looks lovely. Use fabric dining chairs instead, and you can even add a jute rug on the floor, and maybe a ceramic vase or bowl for a touch of charm.
Boucle's texture adds coziness without clutter, making it a star in Ofcasa's collection.

- Choose multifunctional, useful furniture: keeping the previous advice in mind, pick the type of furniture that does more than one job and does not take up too much space.
Ofcasa’s Veronica S Round Coffee Table is a great pick as it is stylish, small, and so it is great for pairing with books, small plants, or even tea!

- Let the light in to create a zen inspired living room: you can use light, sheer curtains or some bamboo blinds to let in plenty of sunlight. At night, choose warm lamps and cozy paper lantern lights to create a peaceful glow.
Is Japandi More Minimal or More Cozy?
Japandi is both! Japanese scandinavian decor gives you the neat, peaceful feeling of minimalism and the soft feeling of comfort. If you can imagine a wooden table with comfy fabric dining chairs and a soft blanket nearby, then that style is Japandi!
