How To Decorate A Japandi Bedroom:

1. Simplify the Space

Okay, let’s start this journey by simplifying your space and by that I mean declutter your space. I am sure you all know the difference of stepping into a cluttered room vs a decluttered room. You either get calm or stressed and I think you can guess which one is which. Therefore, this step is really important in order to achieve the calmness in your bedroom.

2. Embrace Natural Materials

One of the defining characteristics of Japandi style is the use of natural materials and therefore this is of course something we want to embrace. The natural materials will both give you a connection to the nature, but also bring in warmth and texture to your room. A few ways to include these materials in your bedroom is by including bamboo blinds, wooden bedside tables and stone accents.

3. Create a Zen Ambiance

An important factor to achieve a cozy ambiance is of course lighting. I believe this is one of the most important factors since it truly enhances the overall aesthetic of the room.

To achieve the soft lighting in a japandi style, opt for lighting fixtures such as paper lanterns or pendant lights. However, it’s also important to consider the placement of the furnitures and mostly the curtains to let the natural light inside.

4. Layer Textures

By layering textures, you create a sense of depth and interest in the room. This will result in a welcoming and inviting atmosphere. The easiest way to layer textures is by choosing various textures in your bedding, rugs, and throw blankets. However, remember to stick to a muted color palette to keep the calm atmosphere.

Personally I love to layer, I think it gives every room an interesting look. How do you feel about layering? Do you like the look of it?

5. Introduce Greenery

As I mentioned before, this style is partly defined by the neutral color palette. This is something you could take all the way by introducing neutral colored plants, such as pampas grass or you can introduce green plants.

So, if you’re like me, someone who wants to add a little touch of color, introducing green plants is the perfect way to do that. Not only does it enhance the aesthetic appeal of the room, but it also clarifies the air making you sleep better.

6. Opt for Multifunctional Furniture

When choosing furniture, opt for smart, multifunctional pieces. By choosing multifunctional piece you achieve a minimalist look since you’re no longer in need of as much furniture. This type of furniture could be a platform bed with integrated storage or a bedside table that also functions as a desk.
