How to Decorate Japandi: Interior Design Styles Explained

[@carrieh922]

I really like this style video. I feel like I walked away learning something new!

[@LindsayLiving]

Thanks so much, Carrie! That’s one of the best compliments I could hope to receive. 🤗

[@amandah2935]

This is the best video I have seen explaining Japandi style, and I watch a lot of design KZbin channels. Well done.

[@LindsayLiving]

That is an incredible compliment - thank you so much! 😊

[@neidarodriguez3659]

Love this style ,am ready to throw away everything lol😂and start all over

[@LindsayLiving]

🤣🤣🤣 I know how you feel!!! One thing that I found fun was looking at our furniture and decor through the lens of Japandi - we have a few things that have that vibe. You probably do, too!

[@Mrswhiterose28]

This house is I see these videos all the time, I rarely ever comment on am particularly fond of natural materials and all their designer designed my was the best decision I have ever made.

[@dawnvickerstaff9148]

Love this series. More deep dives into design styles. I like learning about what makes each style work.

[@TheSnowClouds]

I didn't realize that I just watched a 17 min video, your context and voice are so clear and captivating.

[@LindsayLiving]

That might be the best compliment I’ve gotten all week. Thank you so much!!!

[@marleneperez3630]

I love it going to try it in my bedroom. I lived in Japan miss it so much

[@LaurenWMcKinney]

Saw that you’re a beginner KZbinr like me, and I just want to say that your camera presence is like you’ve been doing this for ever! I love your videos and have already subscribed. I wish you the absolute best 🥰🥰

[@LindsayLiving]

Thanks so much, Lauren! I appreciate that so much - especially from another KZbinr like you. I had to pop over and check our your channel and found myself subscribing within the first few minutes of the first video I watched. I love your take on creating capsules with timeless pieces to build your wardrobe on. So fun. Can't wait to watch more. Thanks for your comment! I wish YOU the absolute best! 💛

[@FrazzledVirgo]

i like how you didnt just describe the style but that you added how to go about it in the different living spaces! i love this style! it seems like Jappandi has more colors than just scandi?

[@LindsayLiving]

Definitely - I feel like although it still incorporates a limited palette you’ll see a lot more moody range in color within the Japandi style. Like anything, it’s always best when you put your personal stamp on it and create your home in your colors no matter the design style.

[@kimberlyhamilton864]

Great info and photos of the design elements!! One suggestion for making the video more enjoyable is to leave out the background music which competed with your voice, making your voice sounds loud and pressured. Besides that, the content was wonderful. Best wishes!

[@LindsayLiving]

Noted!

[@emeldaintongsolana6947]

thank uou so much my dear friend for sharing ....super love it Japandi modern style....God bless you more and your chanel.....I learn a lot from you...

[@FragBoyStewie]

Lots of info explained in a simple, illustrative manner...Keep up the great work!

[@LindsayLiving]

Thanks so much!

[@EnaAlready]

I LOVE Art Nouveau. Sadly, I don’t know how to incorporate Art Nouveau into an already mish mash of decor. Plus, the furniture (what little I’ve seen) tends to be pricey. Would you be willing to talk about Art Nouveau?

[@andryprokopiou6307]

Great video with greats tips for people who love this style! Very warm and inviting! Not my style but still beautiful to look at😊

[@LindsayLiving]

Thank you so much! I feel the same way - I love learning about different design styles, even if they are not my own. It's fun to see what I can learn from other ways of approaching design. People are so creative in how they put their spaces together. I am a true lover of the design process. Thanks for joining the conversation, Andry!

[@arefinspires]

But can we take a moment to appreciate how beautiful and healthy her hair is!

[@LindsayLiving]

You are so sweet - thank you! 🥰

[@nanciemartin2869]

Thank you so much very informative

[@LindsayLiving]

I'm so glad you enjoyed this one! Thank you.

[@darlenejohnson9534]

Thank you! This was great! I’m also interested in Scandi style and how to combine different furniture woods.

[@LindsayLiving]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I'd love to do a full video on Scandinavian because there are a few different ways of approaching that style. Plus I just LOVE a good Scandi space.

[@anniest-georges3690]

I love and tend so much towards Japandi for my home. Thank you for this video! I enjoyed it a lot.☺️

[@le_th_]

Visually lovely video with helpful information. I'm watching your videos, rather out of order, so I'm getting interesting snapshots of your own personal styling. That said, your hair and brow color in this video are (is?) gorgeous. I'm not sure if this is natural color for both, or the work of a skilled colorist, but W O W...very flattering on your skin tone, and you've done an excellent job of appearing "effortless" in your choice of sweater, pearl bracelet, and a tiny pop of color in your earrings and how that appears against your background. Well done. Rarely do I comment on someone's own personal style choices, as it's subjective, but I've noticed differences from video to video, and since it's a compliment (and NOT flattery), I thought I'd share it. Maybe it will help counter one or two negative comments? lol Probably not, but you never know. Keep up the great work~

[@Kathryninchrist]

I liked this one! I learned from you today and am taking away thing a that I will apply to my home!

[@franzenealthea8530]

Wow, I learned so much from your video! I was going for a "japandi" aesthetic for the past few months but I had no idea what it was called. Now I understand the purpose behind it and I can get behind it 100% now. Thank you so much for explaining this to us!

[@LindsayLiving]

I’m so glad this was helpful - thanks so much for taking a moment to let me know. ❤️

[@danielnelson85]

Another great video Lindsay. What do you think? Is it a trend, or is it here to stay?

[@LindsayLiving]

Thank you SO much, Daniel. I appreciate that so much. I think it's definitely a trend but has roots in design styles that have definitely lasted the test of time. I think we'll see elements of Japandi stick around for quite awhile. I'm interested to see how it evolves.

[@sandysmom100]

We are going to try this design ! We have a lot of stress so we need to get distressed. I know I like some skandi furniture . I’m the chief decorator in the family , so my head is dizzy lol . I went from Asian , - to MCM - to Moroccan - to antiques - to MCM again - to early American - antique country style -Now Japanese zen . The jumping off point is an antique beautiful lamp that was my grandmothers from the 40’s .

[@sandysmom100]

Also holly wood glam - dark academia - ect …My kind is crazy. Lol

[@sandysmom100]

My mind

[@LindsayLiving]

Wow! I'd love to see photos if you ever want some advice. Carefully look over your things and see what existing items might work with your new design plans. You clearly love the look of antiques, so I know you'll find a way to a home that expresses your own unique style.

[@alyssaaugust9881]

I’d love a video with more info on the “cottagecore.” Loving your videos!

[@LindsayLiving]

Thanks so much, Alyssa! I’m so glad you enjoyed this one. I would love to make a full video on cottagecore - thanks for sharing your idea! I’m thinking of making a whole series on design styles and cottagecore would be such a fun one to research. ❤️

[@elena_a-2023]

Thank you so much for this video. I love this style so much!

[@LindsayLiving]

I'm so glad you enjoyed this one, Elena! I'm planning to make this into a series, teaching about different design styles. You'll have to let me know if there are any other styles you'd like to learn more about. Thanks for your comment!

[@florinabn4669]

If I hear "huga" one more time.. :))). Very informative video!

[@LindsayLiving]

Hahahaha? Right?! Thanks so much for watching!

[@marissabrooks8125]

This was fantastic

[@LindsayLiving]

I'm so glad you enjoyed this one, Marissa! 💛

[@jenniferrobertson6858]

Great video, yes please do a series!

[@LindsayLiving]

Thanks, Jennifer! This is definitely going to be come a series and I've gotten so many suggestions for styles to explore next. Let me know if there's any you'd like to see here!

[@Renee1207]

Thank you so much for making this video! So informative! This is is a style I am embracing naturally in my new tiny studio apt :)

[@LindsayLiving]

I’m so glad you enjoyed this video, Beverly! I tried to find every piece of information I could to define Japandi and clarify it for anyone who is trying to achieve this style in their space. I must admit, researching this had me excited to try some of these design ideas in my own space. I lived in a studio apartment for a long time and absolutely loved it. I wish you luck in designing your new home! Thanks so much for joining the conversation!

[@jerseygirlmillie]

Enjoyed learning about Japandi. I would be interested in the Transitional style.😊

[@LindsayLiving]

Ooh! That is such a great suggestion - and another hybrid style that a lot of people might not know about. Off to research! Thanks for the suggestion, Millie! ❤️

[@ModernARQ]

Excellent!

[@jeneth341]

More cozy minimalism for living room and bedroom please.. thank you💖

[@LindsayLiving]

Noted!

[@webwolf404]

Last year I was trying to explain this style and this is a great word for it! I love it. I lived in Japan for a while and teach the language and LOVE the hygge feel and look. Not to mention a massive passion for scand mid century modern! Yay!

[@LindsayLiving]

That is so cool! Thanks so much for sharing your experience. It sounds like Japandi is perfect for you! I agree, Japandi incorporates so many things I love - neutral palette, MCM furniture, decluttered spaces, modern art, cozy textiles. What's not to love?

[@KimC-vk5qp]

Love it! So easy to live with. Thank you for the info! Just subscribed :)

[@LindsayLiving]

Hi Kim! Thanks so much - I’m so glad you enjoyed this one. Planning to make this a series so let me know if there’s anything else you’d like more information about. 😊

[@KimC-vk5qp]

@@LindsayLiving Oh sweet! I'd love to see more on Mid Mod, Japandi, Scandi, color palets that are hot, beach designs, lighting, outdoor living/entertaining decor, how to pick a faucet and sink, etc. and where to find gorgeous duvet covers. I always have trouble finding ones I love. Thank you!!!

[@chalitagomutbutr8281]

Can you please make a video about modern design ? Thank you 😊.

[@This-isGirl]

I really like your video, crisp and no nonsense, packed with info. Could you just tune down your voice a wee bit. I play you at minimum volume but there are many parts where you are shouting 🤭 Sorry I hope you don't get too offended I like you and will continue to watch 🤗

[@LindsayLiving]

Thanks for your kind words and for the feedback, Debbie. I'm always working to improve the quality of my videos. I made this video back in February, and have made significant improvements to both video and audio quality since then. I wonder if you have the same issues with my newer videos.

[@willsoe1]

I felt a little jalous of the more neutral toned wooden items, since I opted for solid oak tables, which have a rich, deep colour when oiltreated. They’re beautiful - but dark! Decluttering is an ongoing project in my home - I just seem to move things from one area to another 😂 I loved this video, so informative and with lots of beautiful and inspirational pictures. Thank you. I’ve always been drawn towards a style I believe is called New England? I feel it would go well, or combine well, with my Danish style. Could you educate us on that? Kind regards from a Dane 💚

[@Fawxee]

I was wondering what this "hoogah" was, until I saw the word in writing. Haha! We have the same word in Norwegian.

[@magymamdouh7499]

Any idea about traditional style please and can l mixed with japandi style, thanks

[@Nancy-sk3bi]

Hey can do a video on kitchen ideas for Japandi

[@LindsayLiving]

Ooh! That's a fun idea! Let me do some research and see what I can find for you. Thanks for joining the conversation. 😀

[@456inthemix]

Hygge is a cozy lifestyle.

[@Kenken77733]

Where can we buy things like this. I’m soooo lost I can’t find these kind of items Anywhere !!!

[@LindsayLiving]

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. I’ve had several requests to make videos about where to source design and decor pieces in the Japandi style, so you can bet that’ll be coming up here soon. 👍🏻

[@FrazzledVirgo]

very well done, only thing i would change ( but only if your'e dying to be big on here?) i would try to mellow your tone and also replicate the design you are discussing? :)

[@LindsayLiving]

Thanks for the feedback. Check out some of my more recent videos - I've discussed tons more design styles since making this first one over a year ago. 😀 kzbin.info

[@FrazzledVirgo]

@@LindsayLiving really enjoyed it! thx

[@ee_li]

Thank you

[@LindsayLiving]

So glad you enjoyed this one!

[@hollwood695]

MCM please! Or MCM + Scandi combo

[@LindsayLiving]

That would be such a fun video! This is definitely an area I love wholeheartedly. 🤍 On my list - thanks for the suggestion!

[@monicafulgeri3255]

And about japandi bathroom?😅

[@LindsayLiving]

You could totally design a beautiful Japandi bathroom. I'd love to see more of that!

[@camillabinkert1428]

❤️

[@จิตติญาอรรคลีพันธุ์]

Tailored style? Different sizes?

[@jenniferfitzgerald1796]

That giant jenga book stack needs to go. What’s its purpose?

[@LindsayLiving]

To hold books - is that unclear? 😂 We have giant Jenga, too, but it's out in the garage.

[@TekuygonMusic]

So no squishmellows? :(

[@LindsayLiving]

hahahahahaha!!! Of course - have what you LOVE in your home - just maybe in the closet when you're showing off your place to guests?

[@lenoraberendt750]

What if you prefer cool as opposed to warm tones? And you love color?!

[@LindsayLiving]

It sounds like you're into more of a hybrid style - mixing ideas from Japandi with a heavier Scandinavian or slightly Coastal bent. gather inspiration photos and look for patterns in what draws you to rooms. This will help you hone in on your design style. Check out this video for more on finding your design style: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZjViZ-gar2fldk

[@SilverFox-1212]

I think it should be called Scandapan

[@willscott4785]

You explain things clearly, like a well-trained teacher, but I'd like to see the photos more - bigger and for longer - and the talking head less. I also prefer shorter, more succinct videos. Less is more, after all.

[@LindsayLiving]

Thank you so much for your kind words about my teaching style! It means a lot to me. I hear your feedback about the visuals and video length, and I'll make sure to work on improving those aspects. Your support and suggestions are greatly appreciated!

[@maninmaxim9781]

очень красивая девушка. вы не из России?

[@LindsayLiving]

Thanks for your comment! I'm not from Russia - I'm from Washington State in the USA. 😀

[@Nancy-sk3bi]

Please

[@ribbrascal]

Lol it's so funny to hear all these design channels pronounce "hygge" in different ways.

[@LindsayLiving]

I learned it originally watching The Oprah Winfrey Show and I do as my lady O leads 😇

[@Katrine_Green]

Dear its pronounced H Y G G E not hugga 😊😁

[@LindsayLiving]

Wouldn't be the first time I've mispronounced something. I think I learned this pronunciation from Oprah, but wouldn't want to through her under the bus - she's a queen.

[@Arentjansz]

WoW SO MUCH TALK,🤑🤕

[@LindsayLiving]

It's almost like that's the whole point.. ✌

[@sheiladepew866]

Please take a breath between sentences. I'm exhausted.

[@LindsayLiving]

I yam who I yam... ☺
