Japandi interior design for any home: what it includes
Japandi in IDstudio: Pale oak and lattice on warm white, low furniture, black only as a thin line. Calm and uncluttered. In your home that means pale white-oiled oak joinery, full height, flush fronts with lattice inserts on display units, slim charcoal pulls, shadow-gap plinth, over wide pale white-oiled oak planks.
