Pleated pendant lights add a touch of luxury and sophistication while maintaining a simple, Japanese-inspired aesthetic.

We love how the pleated design introduces subtle texture and a warm ambiance, creating a tranquil atmosphere that draws you in and makes you want to wind down in a hot bath. You can also opt for paper lanterns or woven light fixtures. 

soft earth tones

Earthy hues like soft green, cream, and beige are key elements in both Japanese and Scandinavian design. This palette creates a calming environment that’s light and airy and brings the beautiful colors of nature inside.

We recommend pairing these light tones with a pop of dark wood and gold to break up the colors and add a layer of interest. 

minimalist design

Minimalism is essential in a Japandi bathroom, where the “focus is on clean lines, functional design and a clutter-free environment.” Emphasizing simplicity, a minimal design allows the beauty of each element to shine while fostering a calming atmosphere. 

nature-inspired patterns

Patterns inspired by nature, such as leaves, flowers, or waves, add interest without overwhelming the space. We adore the half wall of botanical wallpaper above, giving the space a pop of color and elegant style. 

zen garden vibes

Incorporating elements reminiscent of a Japanese garden, such as stones, trees, or sand, can transform a minimalist bathroom into something soothing and beautiful.

The combination of sandy tones, textured accents, stone sink bowls, marble vanity, and the stunning bonsai tree is perfect for creating a zen bathroom with both wabi sabi and hygge vibes.

textured features

Add texture through materials like wood, marble, and stone to bring depth and warmth to the bathroom. These elements draw the natural beauty and craftsmanship of Japandi design into the space.

You can opt for sleek or rugged textures or a combination of the two for subtle but beautiful contrast. 

freestanding tub

A freestanding tub creates a focal point in a Japandi bathroom, exuding simplicity and elegance. The clean lines of a modern tub work perfectly for a Japanese-inspired space, while the surrounding features create the warm and inviting aesthetic Scandinavian designs are known for. 

round silhouettes

Round silhouettes have a way of softening the aesthetic of a room, giving the space a subtle flow. We love anything with curved lines (mirrors, vases, sink bowls, etc.), and they’re also perfect for adding simple contrast and balance to a space with sharp, angular lines – like the bathroom. 

natural light

Large windows are perfect for brightening the space and bringing in the warmth and natural light from the outdoors. This helps to create a subtle earthy feel that balances the simple and modern aesthetic of the bathroom.

If your bathroom doesn’t have any large windows (or any windows at all), don’t worry. You can add soft overhead lights to create a welcoming ambiance instead.

Negative Space

Japanese interiors feature intentional negative space, creating large, empty space in rooms to add depth and balance. You can incorporate this into a minimalistic room, ensuring that spots are left open for an authentic Japanese aesthetic.

We suggest pairing negative space with features and decor that add subtle texture and warmth, such as the limewashed walls and handmade pieces. 

reeded wall

Reeded walls create a traditional Japanese look, adding texture, natural elements, and sophistication to a space. While we typically see this texture done with wood, you can create the same aesthetic with stone. We love the rugged look of this material and how it blends into the sleek wall for a stylish yet soothing appeal. 

simple palette

A simple, neutral palette gives the bathroom a serene and balanced atmosphere. We love how this color scheme is soft and light, adding warmth to the space. These colors create a gorgeous backdrop for decor and finishing touches, and the timeless appeal means the aesthetic can evolve effortlessly with needing a full remodel.

patterned tiles

Patterned tiles can add visual interest and a personal touch to a minimalist Japandi bathroom. The neutral tones match the simple aesthetic, while the unique shapes create a dynamic appeal.

We love the unexpected use of patterned tiles on the outside of the tub, though you can add them inside a shower or as a backsplash. 

thoughtful storage

Incorporating clever storage keeps the space organized and clutter-free, which is essential for maintaining the beautiful yet functional aesthetic of Japandi interiors.

We love the vertical towel rack, providing a space to hang towels and decor and adding clean lines and contrasting textures without taking up counter space. This is also one of the best ways to create a Japandi vibe in a small bathroom. 

serene & spa-like

Design a Japandi bathroom with elements that create a spa-like experience. “The space should be as restful as it is functional, prioritizing natural materials and well-crafted pieces.”

Use aromatics, plush towels, houseplants, and more to transform your bathroom into a serene retreat you can use to wind down after a long day.
