Regarding The Rise of Japandi Residential Interior Design

The Rise of Japandi is a residential interior design completed in Hong Kong in 2019. The home joins Japanese and Nordic influences in a simple, modern and uncluttered layout. Oak wood gives a warm finish, while light grey stone-like cabinet material adds a rustic texture. A wooden screen door with semi-translucent glass forms an airy partition, and a round opaque glass display cabinet recalls a traditional lantern. Curved edges and circular details soften the transition between spaces. Greenery outside acts as a calm backdrop.
