Interior trends: Scandinavia meets Japan
26.8.2017
Translation: machine translated
The much-loved Nordic style has been given a new look, with the best from the Empire of the Rising Sun. Handmade crockery, natural materials and functional, unadorned furniture - in today's age of constant, excessive flux, optical calm is a welcome change in the home.
Trends are always changing, unlike Scandinavian style, which remains one of the favourite furnishing styles of the 21st century. No wonder: light woods, high-quality textiles and muted colours make the style particularly compatible with other trends. The clean look of Scandinavian furniture and decorative objects blends perfectly with an industrial or mid-century interior. As with everything in life - the right mix makes all the difference. Today's Scandinavian look gets an Asian twist: baskets and lighting made from zoster in Asian shapes, ceramic crockery in warm tones and furniture with filigree legs are strongly reminiscent of the minimalist, streamlined Japanese style.
A calm look in the bedroom
In the bedroom, soft lighting, sleek furniture and natural textiles help you find calm in the evening. Too much fuss distracts from the essentials. In the room, a reserved colour concept with shades such as beige, grey and blue have a relaxing effect.

Living room and conviviality
The clean aesthetic of furniture and design can easily seem cold. Textiles, which in the case of Scandinavian style bring warmth, are therefore essential. Here, the mix of materials is just as important: eelgrass rugs, cotton cushions or linen lanterns add comfort. [[image:8480739]] [[smal: Naturel et fonctionnalité sont clés.

Mix and Match in the dining room
One table, many possibilities - the dining room offers plenty of room to experiment. Combine different chair models from the same colour universe. This makes the space particularly interesting without having to make concessions on style. A rug not only provides comfort, it also protects the floor from scratches. We've already had a bit of fun and chosen our favourites: [[product:6339994]] [[product:6195511,5887710,6310841]] [[product:6087428,6379083,6403700]]
Perfectly imperfect dishes
The look is also perfect for the table: ceramic or earthenware tableware has a long tradition in Japan. For handmade pieces, small imperfections and different glazes are welcome and are exactly what, apart from the food, turn them into a real feast for the eyes. As going into more detail on the subject of crockery is worthwhile, we have dedicated a whole article to the subject: [[marketingpage:5386]]
