Our homes have become hubs for working, learning, and living over the past two years, making it difficult to retain any feeling of balance or harmony. This leads us to the Japandi style, a modern Japanese interior design approach that seems to be all the rage this year. Why? Perhaps because two of its most important characteristics are comfort and symmetry. Modsy’s vice president of style, Alessandra Wood, explains why consumers are adopting Japanese design in their homes: “I believe this style is becoming more popular as people become more conscious of what they own and why they own it,” she says.

“Marie Kondo taught us to edit and maintain just what we love, and our culture’s shift toward more sustainability encourages us to have fewer but higher-quality items.” Living in a setting with a minimalist ambiance gives you a sense of calm since you have more space.” Use dinnerware that radiates tranquility to set your table. Hasami Porcelain to perfection, this glazed semi-porcelain plate in gloss grey is manufactured utilizing old-world processes with clay and crushed stone.

These naturally woven abaca placemats have an oval shape that provides a neutral backdrop for most styles of tableware and can be dressed up or down for more formal or casual occasions.

They’re made of New England Ash Wood and come in two sizes as well as a variety of colors: natural, grey, and white. Candles are available for purchase individually. If the more neutral palette of the Japandi style feels too bland, add color with accessories like this clay brown porcelain pitcher that take up the more colorful earth tones.
