THE JAPANESE OR STYLE "JAPANDI"
It's not sleeping in futons or putting Japanese panels like curtains. The Japandi trend is halfway between the Nordic style and the Japanese way of life. A quiet way of life, connected with nature and so-called, sustainable. In this trend wood and bamboo are main materials. Oh, well. Maybe, yes, the furniture goes down a few centimeters to get closer to the ground, or sorry, to the ground.
Nordic and Japanese mix
The Scandinavian and Japanese style are already quite minimalist, simple and functional. And the function of both, too.

The desire to promote respect for the environment and the use of natural materials, many of them recyclable, limiting, at the same time the consumption of plastic.
How can we incorporate these elements of nature back into our lives? The best way is to incorporate them inside our houses. The most obvious way, is by means of plants, but not the only one, you can also use other elements that are found in nature in your decoration: stone, wood, seashells, containers with beach sand, wood or straw.

Natural fibers with different textures and designs such as wicker, rattan, hemp or jute are also a very good choice. You can choose these materials for your furniture or for decorative accessories such as carpets, baskets or lamps to create a relaxing oasis in your home.
