What is Japandi? It’s a furnishing and interior decoration style that blends modern Scandinavian design with the clean and Zen aesthetic of Japan. You’ll love its elegance, symmetry, and minimalist charm.

Pro Tips

Carefully plan your home office to make sure it is comfortable and ergonomic without compromising on style. Your workspace counter must be big and deep enough for all your computer equipment in addition to being at a maximum height of 30” (compared to kitchen counters whose standard height is 36”).

Use Flooring to Create Visual Continuity
Using only one type of flooring throughout the room will make it look bigger by not segmenting the space. Choose a material like hardwood that is durable and impact resistant, and that will stand up to spills.

Soothing Light

Since cluttered rooms always seem darker, bring natural light to your workspace by keeping it simple. Rethinking how your living area is organized and planning for enough storage is the key for a bright, clutter-free, and clean space. Combine this strategy with recessed lights and a desk lamp, and you’re good to go.
