HOME TRENDS ’ STYLE EDITOR SHARES A FAVORITE TREND FOR 2022 .
Japandi , the marriage of Japanese rustic minimalism with Scandinavian functionality , is a natural pairing given the many similarities between the two design aesthetics . Scandinavian design is a clean , simple look that focuses on functionality and a lack of clutter . Due to the cold winter months , Scandinavian design has a focus on warm , inviting textures and bringing the outdoors inside with natural materials and plants . The Japanese aesthetic is a simple , organic look that integrates Sabi ( taking pleasure in the imperfect ), Wabi ( rustic simplicity ) and Yugen ( showing more by showing less ) principles . This look , while minimalistic in nature , often incorporates delicate details and meticulously thought-out design choices . Japandi combines these styles to create spaces that are bright and airy but also warm and welcoming with organic materials and thoughtful details . - Designer Jo Alcorn , www . alcornhome . com
