The basics
- A low bed in oak or a darker wood, with simple lines.
- Earthy, muted colours: sand, clay, stone, soft black.
- Natural textures: linen bedding, a wool or jute rug, paper or rattan lamps.
- Matching bedside tables and soft lamps on both sides.
- Almost nothing on the floor and surfaces.
In the example
The bedroom above was furnished by the redsgn chat in Japandi style with IKEA pieces: an oak TONSTAD bed and bedside tables, a STOCKHOLM 2025 sideboard and lamps, and a BANKKONTOR rug.
Sizes that keep it calm
Leave about 60 cm on both sides of the bed, so the room stays symmetrical and easy to move around. A bed that’s too big for the room works against the calm that Japandi is about.
