Japandi Colors: The Ideal Palette for a Zen Interior
A palette that exudes harmony
Japandi style is based on a subtle alchemy between Japanese minimalism and Scandinavian comfort. At the heart of this aesthetic is a palette of natural and soothing colors, designed to create an interior that invites relaxation and balance.
Neutral colors as a base
Japandi favors soft and neutral shades:
- Off-white and cream, for brightness
- Sandy beige and taupe, for warmth
- Light gray or anthracite, for depth
These colors serve as a backdrop and create a zen and timeless atmosphere.
💡 Maison Dirya suggestion: our cream Airi rug and Sayuri coffee table perfectly embody these neutral bases.
Dark accents to structure the space
To avoid overly monotonous decoration, the Japandi style introduces dark touches:
- Matte black
- Deep brown
- Forest green or midnight blue
These contrasts add relief and highlight the furniture.
💡 Maison Dirya suggestion: the Riku dining table with its dark textured base perfectly illustrates this play on contrast.
Natural shades for warmth
Organic materials also inspire color:
- Wood tones (light oak, dark walnut)
- The mineral beiges of the stone
- Soft ochres or terracotta in small touches
They are reminiscent of nature and reinforce the cocooning atmosphere.
💡 Maison Dirya suggestion: the Noa travertine pendant light and the Hana ceramic vase bring these authentic mineral nuances.
How to apply the Japandi palette at home?
- Use 3 to 4 colors maximum to maintain harmony.
- Reserve neutral tones for walls and large pieces of furniture.
- Incorporate dark colors in touches (frames, bases, accessories).
- Add the warmth of natural materials with textiles, rugs and decorative objects.
