Simplicity and Function in Home Design: Why Scandinavian & Japandi Design Styles Are So Popular

I’m renovating and just found u ❤

I definitely will be looking for more scandi and japandi in my environs. And whatever else you present Rebecca, well done! :-)♥

What you described is a secondary. The main principle is the SUN LIGHT. The light dictates design direction. For you guys it’s hard to understand living in USA.
I’m living in Scandinavia 4 years. And since October to March we are suffering without sunshine. At winter time our evening starts at 3 pm 🕰️
The days a short, gray and cloudy. We neeeeed a LOT of light.
Is that’s why windows are tall, the sofa is low - to let the day light come in to home. The furniture and decorations are white - to let the day light mirroring from furniture. Together and huge windows and white furniture, and shiny decorations helps to fulfill home with the light.
That’s why a lot of lightning and home and lots of lots of candles 🕯️, different kind of candles. Lightning and candles is the source of light at everything.
👑The LIGHT is the king 👑

I love minimalist Japandi interior design

Thank you for this series- I’m a new Design Sessions member and learning so much! Ready to figure out my style and take this journey using design principles for my new home. Alisa

I luv japandi

Hi Rebecca, iam still trying to send a thumbs up!! I live less than 30 miles from Sun Valley. I LOVE LOVE LOVE your show!!!

You are stunning more than Scandi / Japandi..ha..ha..ha...

Thank u Rebecca. Really liked this video. Hope u will continue this series anytime soon. Still looking forward to your input for Modern Farmhouse and Cottage Core. Take good care 😊

Love this design style series! Thanks Rebecca.

Love the visuals. Helps me understand both styles so much. Im more of a hotel chic kind of person. I'm going to see if you have any examples in your video catalogue ❤

Great video! Please keep them coming. Thank you!

So calm, beautiful and relaxing. You knocked it out of the park!

Love you and loving this series!

Every version of a style that you see on Instagram is a bastardized version of the original style, and this is no different. Original Scandinavian, Japanese, Boho, many other styles , were not safe from that happening to them.

Thank you for passing your design knowledge to your followers. I really enjoy trying to find my design preferences and looking out for pieces that I will love and enjoy. When bored or need a change I can incorporate a few items I love with new pieces I have come to love.

I am enjoying the series of designs very much! I like the presentation, deliverables and the examples shared. It's professionally done ❤

Thanks for another amazing video😊

Good afternoon....is there no Rebecca today, that would really upset me, as every Thursday Rebecca is my highlight for the day.

Minimal and cosy is my style. Dont crowd rooms with furniture or stuff. Fresh, spacious, airy, serence. Keep tones soft. Color is stressfull to eyes.

HI Rebecca. Thank you for such an educational video! I learned so much on Scandinavian and Japandi designs, and I seem to love both design styles! I live in Honolulu and my home is somewhat Asian with shoji doors and cut-out wood paneling with a touch of Hawaiiana. Yes please more videos on the different design styles and the accessories that go with them! Mahalo again!

Not a fan of Scandi, too plain for me

Not my style, too much white.

Rebecca, i just bought an LG G series tv (one that sits flush to the wall, and is less than an inch thick so it looks like a picture frame.
It seems like it would be off-balanced to have a 14"-20" deep media cabinet under a very thin wall-mounted TV.
Additional detail: this is in my home theater room. The tv will have 3' tall tower speakers on either side, a center channel speaker underneath, and 2 15×15×15" subwoofers on the same wall (either to the inside or the outside of the tower speakers).
Would a media cabinet that was T shapped going up in between the subwoofers, and then exending over the top of the subwoofers look right?

Thank you! I loved your presentation despite my visceral reaction to the first half. My mother's taste in Danish Modern made my childhood home uncomfortable for me to grow up in as my taste is firmly rooted in Culman & Kravis Traditional design. I agree with your statement that the Japandi style offers a bridge between Scandinavian/Scandi and Traditional decorating styles. I'll definately return for more "style series" sessions in the future!

Oh my word I was praying you were going to do these two. Yippee so glad you did them. Thank you thank you thank you

My morher did our first home in ‘Danish Modern’ in the 1950’s, so everything old is new again, I suppose. In fact, my elderly aunt has my mother’s dining room furniture, which was Drexel—and built to last. She’s taken excellent care of it and has promised to give it to me when she decides to move from her current home into assisted living. The circle will then be complete!

Thank you for bringing back the design style videos! I’m really enjoying them!

Nice video... I am watching your video 1st time...

Fabulous Rebbeccah - Thank you so much for this video, very interesting. I would have never linked japan to scandinavia, but the minimalist and neutral style in both makes them similar in a sense.

As an Interior Designer myself, I just can't believe I never noticed that Scandi is the style of my home! 😅😂
I guess I wasn't very familiar with it, but I do love all about it.
Thanks for sharing!

Loving the series. Waiting for Minimalist as that is the style I prefer and the one that was rated over 60% in my test results. Thank you.

You have good arms why do you hide them in voluminous fabric?
Start wearing clothes that emphasize the shape of your beautiful arms you can afford to show them off

Beautiful to see.. I had the Scandi look when we first married. Two great walnut dressers and a walnut cedar chest. The couch and chairs came with the apt and were bamboo. This was a trip back for me. Thanks, Donna

Love both styles. Too bad I have so much stuff. Ha! Your videos are fabulous! So detailed in each category, Furniture, lighting, rugs, art. Thank you, Rebecca.

❤🎉🎉🎉

Thanks for the informative video. Enjoyed it & the flow is a wonderful knowledge experience.

Hey there Rebecca, thank you for continuing with this series! I recently re-did your style quiz and Japandi is one of my top 3 styles. I always heard about the style, but I didn't realize just how clean, elegant and peaceful it is (which is perfect because I'm trying to achieve these sentiments in our new home). I really got a lot out of your examples and learned that Scandinavian and Scandi have their own unique properties whereas before I assumed that they were one in the same. As always your outfits are fab!

Love both styles, but I miss my colorful artwork, so I guess this isn't for me. Beautiful video, learning a lot!!!

Love your videos, but REALLY love your outfits. ❤️

I love both styles. I err more on side of Japandi, but with a touch of modern organic. I love the imperfect look and asymmetry. Working toward this in my home. It's fun.

I found both depressing, but if it makes you happy go for it, as usually very interesting😊

Not for me! Looks too cheap, too manufactured, and too MCM.

You are excellent Rebecca. Nobody does these style reviews better than you do.

MY FAV INTERIOR DESIGNER IS BACKKKKK

Love it thanks for sharing ❤❤

Apart for your excellent content you always look so groomed and stylish! Love all your outfits!!

Great video.
