Why is Wood Such a Cornerstone of the Japandi Style? - The Coventry Observer

Why is Wood Such a Cornerstone of the Japandi Style?

In the last few years, we have seen how the rise of minimalist elegance and simplicity has conquered all decorative spaces in the home. If you have ever been fascinated by this decorative trend, you will love the Japandi style, an aesthetic that fuses Scandinavian decoration with the functionality and harmony of the Japanese style. One of the key elements of this style is the use of wood, in particular, oak laminate flooring.

The simplicity and warmth of wood flooring

If you are seeking to create a calm and cosy atmosphere with a harmonious simplicity that conveys a deep sense of peace, the Japandi style is the option you have been looking for. The use of oak laminate, characteristic of this style, will convey a sense of nature, harmony and balance in your home and also provides that warmth that we love so much about wood.

Diversity of wood flooring options

Wooden floors offer you an impressive range of options, each with distinctive characteristics and aesthetics. From oak, walnut, cherry or spruce, each type of wood will bring its own unique colour, grain and texture to your home. Each of these woods has its place in the world of interior design and in the Japandi style, laminate flooring is king due to its warm tone and exceptional durability.

The symbolic value of wood

You have decided on the Japandi style, and as you know, this style is based on two cultures, Scandinavian and Japanese, and each of them has a symbolic value linked to wood. Within Scandinavian culture, the wood of the northern forests has always been a metaphor for life and resistance due to the climatic conditions in which they live, while in Japan, wood is deeply appreciated for its connection with nature and its potential to transmit tranquillity. The use of wood is closely linked to the cultural traditions of the Japanese country, therefore by choosing this decorative style and oak laminate flooring, you will embody in your home the values of our relationship with nature and the beauty inherent in simple, natural forms.




Oak flooring will shine with this Japandi style as it helps to balance cooler, more minimalist tones by adding warmth and texture that will make your home a living and welcoming space.

Respect for the art of imperfection

When you choose the Japandi style for your home, you are Embracing a philosophy of respect for imperfection.


Wood is never “perfect” Every plank has its unique history and unique peculiarities. You are Embracing the imperfection intrinsic to life or “wabi-sabi” which is the fundamental concept of the Japandi style. Your home will be Embracing the imperfect beauty of nature by creating a work of art with unique character.

The sustainability of wooden floors

One of the premises of the Japandi style is sustainability. This style will add a deep respect for the environment to your home. In this sense, wooden floors are an exceptional choice as they are a sustainable option compared to other types of flooring due to their strength and durability.

 

In addition, today, most wood companies involved in the manufacturing of wood flooring contemplate a style of production in which reforestation is one of the most important links.

 

 

To sum up, by choosing this style and its wooden floor for your home, you will be doing more than a simple choice of interior design, you will be inviting nature into your home and your life,

creating, in that way, a space of calm and serenity representing the search for harmony and balance that characterise the Japandi style.
