Every day there seems to be a new trend in home decor that takes the world of interior design by storm. One of these latest popular styles, which can implemented in a compact home such as a Crown Asia condo in Las Piñas, is the Japandi style.
Known as the lovechild of both Japanese and Scandinavian design, Japandi embodies both of their best aspects to create a novel look that has captured the imaginations of many dabbling and experienced home designers. Similar to the philosophy of Japanese design, Japandi also follows a minimalist approach when it comes to interior design. On the other hand, like its Scandinavian predecessor, the Japandi style is also all about functionality, but in a way that does not sacrifice aesthetic appeal and basic domestic comforts.
For those who are looking to emulate the Japandi style in their Crown Asia home, below are three general tips to try out.
Three Tips to Incorporate Japandi into Your Home
The Japandi Style Incorporates the Use of Natural Materials
Like with both Japanese and Scandinavian interior design, the usage of natural materials is commonplace in a Japandi home. The purpose of this stylistic choice is not only to achieve a pleasant look for one’s home but to also emphasize its sense of connection with the natural world.
In order to achieve a Japandi-style interior in one’s home, authentic wooden furniture and fixtures are a must for getting that all-natural facade. Inorganic natural materials such as stone are also a great addition, especially if one can successfully integrate them with the aforementioned wood decor. Including household plants is also an excellent way of attaining a Japandi look for one’s house, as it not only will help result in a natural vibe for the home’s interior, but it would also has the potential to improve the indoor air quality and may even be used for cooking and to deter pests.
Depending on the type of natural materials and plants that one wishes to use for their interior design plan, the cost can range from inexpensive to costly, particularly for those who want to incorporate rare wood or valuable stones.
Japandi Interior Design Utilizes A Subdued Color Palette
One of the other notable qualities that the Japandi interior design style inherited from the Japanese and Scandinavian designs is its usage of a neutral color palette. While not as striking and confident as other more colorful palettes, the point of utilizing such hues does much to emphasize the beauty of a Japandi home.
By exclusively using subdued colors, the viewer wouldn’t be bombarded with visual clutter that could potentially be an eyesore. Such colors would also allow one to focus on the other elements of Japandi design, such as its natural furniture and other such fixtures. Another color often used in Japandi design is the color white, which not only acts as the perfect canvas for other home components to use to stand out, but it is also not distracting and pleasing to look at for most people.
Of course, there may be some individuals who may not prefer the palette used in this interior design style, and thus Japandi may not be for them.
A Japandi Interior Maximizes the Presence of Nature in Your Home
Arguably, the best selling point of Japandi is how it focuses on promoting the influence of nature in one’s household, something that most yearn for in this day and age. With how quickly the world is undergoing urbanization and with nature gradually being pushed out, Japandi offers that sense of connection with the natural world that many take for granted nowadays.
Japandi homes are characterized by their inclusion of large windows, which are meant to evoke a feeling of space while also providing the house’s inhabitants with a great view of the outside world. These windows would of course allow a lot of natural light in, which not only is great at mitigating the feeling of artificiality in one’s home, but also for reducing electrical expenses for lighting as well. Big, open windows would also mean greater airflow, hence a better air quality for the home that both improves the quality of life and gives the feeling of freedom as well.
Everyone needs to be exposed to nature at some point in their lives to maintain their health, and thus renovating one’s house to embody a Japandi aesthetic is a must for nature lovers out there.
Designing one’s home to follow the Japandi design philosophy is an easy task, so long as one knows how to go about it. One would only need to mix in some furniture made from natural materials in their home, tone down their interior’s color palette to something neutral, and do their best to make nature a part of their household.
Try Japandi in Your Hermosa Condo
To be able to even apply the tips listed earlier, one would of course need to have a home of their own to decorate as they see fit. For those who are looking for an upscale condo in Las Piñas, consider looking into one of Crown Asia’s projects in the area: Hermosa.
Situated close to the upcoming master-planned Vista Global South Township along the C-5 Extension, Hermosa promises to be the ideal city home for the up-and-coming Filipino urbanite.

Imagine walking into your Japandi-inspired home, with its natural materials, subdued colors, and windows that connect you with nature.

In conclusion, embracing the Japandi design philosophy in your home, whether it’s a house or a condo like Hermosa, allows you to create a space that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also in harmony with nature.
