Karimoku Case, a Japanese lifestyle brand, knows all about designing Japandi interiors. To demonstrate their expertise, they’ve created 10 case study homes—and what is striking about one of them, the Azabu Hills Residence in Tokyo, is that everything here has a sense of flow and motion. Specifically, all the furniture, from the sofa to the coffee table, has rounded edges and forms and the different pieces are all in a palette of earthy colors. The zelkova wood used for many pieces, which looks similar to beech, is a traditional building material for temples in Japan.

This 323-square-foot apartment in Paris wasn’t the most practical space—until architect Hélène Lacombe intervened. She created an inviting home by skillfully combining waxed concrete, mahogany elements, and light colors to create a completely Japandi look. There’s also a small garden that continues the combination of Scandinavian chic with a Japanese sensibility.

Even if you only have limited space to work with, small rooms can embrace the Japandi aesthetic too—you just need to know some of the right design moves to make. One of them is to create niches with seating and corners that invite you to make yourself comfortable with a good book. This is how interior designer Tom Lawrence-Levy created this Zen-inspired and inviting resting place in a London apartment.

4. Add some wabi-sabi

Light, matte walls and plenty of natural light give this living room a calm and cheerful atmosphere.
