Wall Decor Ideas
A timber-backed wall shelf recessed from the wall is one of the most commonly seen Japandi design feature. They are often decorated minimalist designed objects such as pottery and hard-covered books. To create the minimalist look, you could space out the objects to create ’emptiness’.

Bedroom
A simple built-in bedhead is a good to have. However, if you’re on budget, a bedhead featured wall with limewash/wallpaper finish will be a good option to make your bed space zen-like.

Bathroom
Limestone (or similar lookalike tiles) is the natural stone finish that has color tone ranges from light grey to beige, they go extremely well with the Japandi palette. We like this frameless mirror that goes so well with the minimalist look.
