7 Japandi Tips for Creating a Relaxing Bedroom

1. Connect to Nature

Drawing upon a close reverence for nature, Japandi decor stands for a serene interior that keeps one grounded in the freshness and beauty of nature. Think moss-covered walkways, Pagoda pillars, koi ponds, and bonsai trees lined neatly and trimmed ever so mindfully - these are a few things that encompass a traditional Japanese garden. While these elements are difficult to recreate and depend on various parameters, you can always make some room in your bedroom by incorporating low-maintenance plants such as succulents, ferns, and peace lilies. Adding plants will not only massively improve the air quality but also instil a sense of calm and stillness, promoting sound sleep.

2. Natural Elements

Natural elements and sustainability are at the forefront of Japandi interiors, which is why you should consider incorporating handy items that adhere to eco-conscious values. Whether it is a rustling beaded wall hanging or a roomy wicker basket to house your delicates, the addition of natural elements in your bedroom is crucial to creating a Japandi-inspired interior. Textural and dimensional wall art is another great way to incorporate natural accents into your home decor.

3. Keep it Simple

Japandi rests on the notion that less is more. A clean and streamlined look is of the essence when it comes to Japandi interiors. A tidy and clutter-free room will not only brighten up your room and provide the illusion of more space but also reduce stress levels and offer a more comfortable sleeping environment. Make the most of your bedroom space by investing in a foldable futon bed, and built-in storage units to tuck away off-season furnishings, and other organisers.

4. Low-profile Furniture

We’ve stressed the importance of low-profile furniture that provides a bare and beautiful look. You can go for beds with simple frames, or a sleek bedside table, and install ambient pendant lights in your reading nook. Floating shelves are a great way to save up on space, offering functionality and a streamlined look. You can mix and match between rich wooden accents and their light counterparts such as white oak and maple to create an alluring visual contrast.

5. Prioritise Comfort

Remember the Scandinavian notion of “hygge”? Let comfort take centre stage in your Japandi-inspired bedroom. Layer your bed with weighted blankets that cradle you in warmth and plush throw pillows to create an inviting atmosphere. Muted colours such as beige, taupe, and brown work remarkably well. You can also go for sheer drapes that sway gently in the wind, letting in as much natural light as possible.

6. Lighting

Lighting is a feature that ties together all the elements of your Japandi-style bedroom. To create an ambience that’s conducive to relaxing and unwinding, soft and diffused lighting is a must. Shoot for dimmable lamps, paper lanterns, or even Himalayan salt lamps to create a soothing and calm environment. Light curtain fabrics will also help welcome natural light into your bedroom, which will work especially well if you have limited floor space.

7. Create a Soothing Retreat

To transition from the busyness of the day into a restful slumber, forge a nighttime ritual. Invest in aromatic scented candles and diffusers, and let the enchanting smells evoke a sense of peace. Dedicate a space in your bedroom to these calming elements, and engage in mindful practices such as journaling, meditation, or a little light reading.
