Klappentext

Writer Cate St Hill believes our homes have the power to become our inner sanctuaries, soothing our souls and nurturing our wellbeing. She takes inspiration from the concept and traditions of Japandi, a hundred-year-old set of lifestyle principles that draw from Scandinavian and Japanese design ethoses. In this book, Cate takes readers far beyond the design trend, introducing them to the connection between aesthetics and well-being that is at the heart of this style. The book opens with an introduction to traditional Japanese and Scandinavian design philosophies, putting forward the idea that the concept of Japandi is nothing new, but has far-reaching foundations. The following chapters each focus on a different aesthetic theme, covering everything from color and texture, to decluttering and simplifying, as well as designing for well-being. Japandi Home is packed with gorgeous imagery, insightful features from contributing experts, and design inspiration readers can implement in their own homes.

Zusammenfassung
