The most beautiful Japandi-style outdoor spaces

Japandi, a peaceful blend of Japanese and Scandinavian aesthetics, translates beautifully to both indoor and outdoor spaces. After Japandi Living and Japandi, books focusing on interiors and the overall lifestyle, author Laila Rietbergen now takes you to the world of Japandi outdoor living.

It's about balance: between light and shadow, form and function, tradition and innovation. Japandi invites us to slow down and notice – the grain of the wood, the space between stones, the play of sunlight through leaves and branches.

Laila highlights the influence of both the Japanese and Scandinavian garden, showing how it can shape your outdoor space and providing tips to create a smooth, natural flow between inside and outside. She discusses elements like garden layout, choice of materials and plants, and colour palette, all accompanied by inspiring photos.

Japandi is the newest and hottest trend in interiors: a harmonious combination of functionality, comfort, and the minimalist look that characterizes Scandinavian design with the purest elegance of traditional Japanese craftsmanship.

Japandi harmoniously blends Scandinavian hygge with wabi-sabi, a concept derived from Zen Buddhism that advocates peaceful sobriety and invites us to admire the beauty hidden in slight imperfections in nature. This first major survey of Japandi style will introduce the reader to the fundamentals and to iconic objects that will transform an interior into a Japandi-inspired retreat.

Chapter one of the book examines the converging principles that have contributed to the emergence of Japandi Style such as functionality, neutral colors, the importance of organic materials, and the thoughtful simplicity of shapes. Chapter two presents some of the most emblematic works of Japandi Style, and the design studios behind them. Chapter three gives examples of how to decorate and furnish rooms - the living room, dining room, bedroom, bathroom, winter garden, or home office - in Japandi Style.
