10. Blend geometric and playful patterns for the perfect Japandi look.
With Japandi’s “imperfect beauty,” you can blend bold and beautiful Japanese patterns with the more playful Scandinavian patterns for a fascinating hybrid look. Japanese decor is known for utilizing beautiful designs to incorporate lovely cushions and curtains, for example. Though you should avoid too much decorative detail, statement pieces are welcome. Japandi doesn’t mean boring walls – consider a gorgeous Japandi wallpaper to contrast your more neutral furniture pieces. Other options to bring in a playful mix could be as easy as adding a comfy afghan or blanket!

Though you want patterns that are different, try to make sure they have a common thread. Does the blanket you chose have a hue that ties it in with the rest of the room, for example? Try to connect it into at least three areas. For example, maybe the green in one of the cushions matches the green plant you chose. No matter what, you don’t want your elements to look mismatched; some cohesion element is lovely and brings the room together nicely.
