Incorporating Japandi Influences in Bathroom Design
Japandi design has taken the interior design world by storm, blending the warmth and minimalism of Japanese and Scandinavian styles. The result is a serene, functional, and timeless aesthetic that creates a beautiful sanctuary which is perfect for bathrooms. To help you achieve this look our new Kusabi mixer collection is designed to embody the harmony and simplicity of Japandi design.

Japandi is a hybrid style that merges Japanese aesthetics and wabi-sabi principles, which celebrate simplicity and natural beauty, with the Scandinavian principal of hygge or cosy design. This fusion places emphasis on clean lines, neutral colour palettes, natural materials, and an overall sense of calm. The goal is to create spaces that are not only visually appealing but also functional and tranquil.
How to create a Japandi bathroom.
To design a Japandi-inspired bathroom, consider the following –
- Minimalist Japandi interior design: Japandi design values uncluttered spaces. Good storage in vanities or shaving cabinets is the key here. Design elements should all have a purpose.
- A Japandi bathroom with natural materials: Incorporate natural materials such as warm timbers, natural stone and tiles with a handmade appearance. Bamboo can be incorporated in items like blinds or light shades.
- Japandi bathroom colour palette: Warm natural whites such as Dulux Natural White, Antique White USA, or Whisper White, teamed with darker hues like charcoal or an unexpected pop of eucalyptus green.
- Soft Lighting: Create a relaxing atmosphere with soft, ambient lighting. Try to bring in as much natural light as possible. Where window space is limited, investigate the option of a sky light.
- Japandi bathroom styling tips – Keep towel colours in a similar warm neutral colour palette and add a ceramic vase with structural flora to enhance the modern Japandi bathroom vibe.
