Japandi Bathroom Ideas and Inspiration

>In this article, we talk about the latest trend to hit the world of bathroom interiors and all the Japandi bathroom ideas and inspiration you’ll ever need.

If you’re new to Japandi interiors, then get ready, because after reading this article you will be fully converted to Japan’s and Scandi’s new love child.

*Disclaimer* We can not be held responsible for the overwhelming feeling of needing to re-decorate.

What is Japandi?

Japandi is an interior hybrid that blends Japanese and Scandinavian styles. Influenced by the ancient Japanese idea of Wasbi-sabi, an aesthetic that appreciates beauty is ‘imperfect, impermanent and incomplete’. Japandi also inherits the comfort and cosiness of ‘Hygge’ from Danish culture.

Together, forming a gorgeous yet minimal bathroom interior style we can’t get enough of, with an emphasis on finding beauty in simplicity.

How Do I Create a Japandi Inspired Bathrooms?

In order to create this new interior fusion, there are some key elements you need to consider. Form and function are a must when designing your new Japandi space.

To achieve a Japandi bathroom you need these six key elements:

Lavish texturesLow key lightingMinimal accessoriesNatural material particularly rustic elementsEarthy colour paletteClean and clear design

Now we know what ingredients we need to create the most perfect Japandi space, let’s take a look at the different concepts for your bathroom, cloakroom or en-suite.

Dark Japandi Bathroom

In this Japandi inspired bathroom, they have used their space expertly. Using dark textured walls and floor to create a natural stone like base. Pair your dark walls with a touch of rusticity to achieve a stark contrast, with a parting panel wall. This will nicely spilt the room whilst maintaining a beautiful open space.

Opting for clean lines and minimal accessories is two of the many components that makes this a beautiful Japandi space. When it comes to creating a dark Japandi style, including dark wood /oak vanity units is a great way to introduce a variety of textures.

Light and Minimal Japandi Bathroom

Light and minimal allows you to layer textures whilst keeping the room super simple and airy. Use crisp white walls to keep things looking clean, just as a Danish designer would. Add interest to your space with natural textures, and floating furniture. Remember less is ALWAYS more.

Milano Mirage - Wall Mounted Round Basin Mixer Tap

The key here is to avoid over cluttering with too many accessories, keep everything as minimal as possible. 

Your space should be as light as possible, try your best to keep as much natural light as possible. If this isn’t a do-able, opt for sleek lighting. Something that will keep your bathroom looking simple and soft, if you really want to emphasis the Japanese aesthetic, opt for symmetrical lights on either side of your mirror.

Monochrome Japandi Bathroom Suite

Not a fan of colour, no matter how subtle? Don’t worry, you can always go for a monochrome Japandi space. One of the staple features of Japandi design is contrast; therefore, choosing this yin and yang colour scheme will maintain the perfect balance.

If you’re lacking colour, remember plants are your friend and should be used in large quantities to add biophilic touches.

Remember, texture is everything! – mix marble with fluted tiles, matt walls with textured floors. Go the extra monochrome mile with black brassware instead of chrome.

Bright and Open Japandi En-suite

Keep things calm and open with a neutral colours, for a calming tranquil space. Windows are a brilliant way to allow natural light to flow – so the bigger the better!

When it comes to your bathroom layout think minimal and open. This particularly applies to the shower. Try to avoid enclosures and welcome walk-in showers or any frameless structure. This will create the illusion of more space and avoid the feeling of being ‘caged in’.

Milano Nero - Wet Room Screen

Bright and open Japandi spaces are all about exposure. Exposing as much light as you can whether that’s natural light or artificial is a great way to boost mood and set the scene for a calm atmosphere.

Again, use rustic elements to add warmth and a natural touch. Paneling and wooden shelves work well for the basin area and don’t forget about keeping your furniture soft and round, for true Japanese style. We recommend a countertop basin to finish off the look.

Colourful Japandi Bathroom

One for the colour lovers – if you need that pop of vibrance, feel free to introduce soft soothing pastels. To achieve Japanese minimalism, keep furniture minimal, accents black and add your colour through paint, fluted tiles or on your minimal accessories.

If that isn’t enough, introduce colour through your ceramics. Soft pinks, blues and greens look fabulous in countertops basins or vanity units.

Use a round freestanding bathtub as your focal point, pair with contrasting black taps in a beautiful matt black for an extra luxury touch.

Incorporate the industrial vibes through raw and unkept walls. Limewash paint is a great way to achieve an imperfect look, ideal for an industrial feel.

Accompanied by pendant lighting and a floor standing ladder heated towel rail, that lets out warmth and enriches the style of your bathroom.

And that’s a wrap, we hope you enjoyed this Japanese and Scandinavian style guide and we have given you enough Japandi bathroom ideas and inspiration to turn you into an Japandi interior expert.

New AIA Course: Learn More about the Advantages of Prefabricated Bathroom Pods in SurePods

Today, prefabricated bathrooms are becoming more prominent in commercial building projects because of their ability to save time and increase jobsite safety, all while maintaining a high level of finish quality. However, despite their rising popularity, many architects still have looming questions surrounding modular methods— what they are, how they work and the many benefits they can provide.

For those considering prefabrication for an upcoming project, SurePods is now offering an AIA accredited Health Safety and Welfare (HSW) continuing education course. Here, architects can learn about the modular bathroom process and how to employ it in applicable projects, from an integrated CAD / CAM system driving the BIM model straight into production, all the way to installation. Via in-depth discussion of modern prefab materials and methods, users will also explore how prefabricated bathroom pods can de-risk jobsites and preserve a high level of finish quality for projects with 100 or greater repeatable units—such as consolidating the 8 to 12 trades involved in traditional construction to eliminate the punch list. For firms looking for real-life prefab success stories, the course will also illustrate solutions to complex design, logistical and jobsite challenges.

How Novalé Made an Inner West Small Bathroom Renovation BIG on Style

The Inner West council is among Sydney’s largest local government areas, a community of distinctively creative and dynamic neighbourhoods, defined by many cultures, philosophies, and life experiences.

From Ashfield to Hurlstone Park, most Inner West housing is connected terraces with smaller rooms and bathrooms. As a result, most Inner West bathroom installations require innovative small bathroom renovation tactics to make the most of their quaint inner-city living spaces.

Whether you own an apartment, terrace or house, small bathrooms are typical for many Inner West residents. While many people think that narrow and small bathroom installations are limited in size and arrangement in terms of function and style, that’s not always the case.

In actuality, making a small bathroom installation appear larger and seem more spacious, all while incorporating personal décor, is an art that many designers jump at the chance to tackle.

To demonstrate just how exciting small bathroom renovations can be, let’s take a look at a past Novalé Inner West bathroom renovation in Marrickville. Even though this Marrickville bathroom renovation includes four bathroom installations and a laundry renovation, each room is relatively small and narrow. As a result, Novalé designers utilised several design tips and tricks to make these standard small and narrow bathrooms look great and feel larger than they are.

So, how do you make a bathroom installation visually look bigger? Here are four design tricks Novalé designers used to make narrow and small bathroom installations look larger in this Marrickville home.

 

Bounce Light with a Light Colour Scheme

One of the most common questions Novalé is asked for small bathroom renovations is, what colours make a small bathroom look larger?

A trick that Novalé designers regularly use to make a space feel larger is to pick one light colour and use that throughout the space. Complementing colours are then used through texture to add another element. Even though a bathroom installation is small, a cohesive colour palette can make the space feel larger than it is, creating an airy atmosphere.

 

In our Marrickville small bathroom renovation example, the marble’s visual pattern helps add another element of texture into the small bathroom installation whilst also keeping the urban design and monochrome colour pattern in line.

With a white emphasis from the marble, natural light can easily bounce throughout the space, making the area feel lighter and more expansive than it actually is. Plus, the large marble tile mirroring on the floor up the wall achieves a seamless and spacious feel.

 

Honestly, you can’t go wrong with a black and white colour scheme in a small bathroom renovation! The darker hues of matte black create details throughout the bathroom installation, which gives the eyes interesting focal points to look at, so the space does not seem dull. The black offers attention-grabbing details and helps to expand the space.

Make a Statement with the Floor or Wall

One of the best ways to make any narrow or small bathroom renovation feel larger is by highlighting the room’s length rather than its width by using a stand-out tile on the largest empty area of the space. As a result, when individuals walk into the bathroom, all their attention focuses on the large tile area and tricks their brain into thinking that the surface area is more expansive.

Thus, creating a focal point with a bright, exciting, or patterned tile makes the space look larger and feel more spacious.

The key to making a bespoke tile or feature wall really work in a small bathroom renovation is to ensure the tiles don’t overwhelm the rest of the room. A good tip is to balance out the striking pattern with plain colours throughout other elements in the space, ensuring both aspects complement each other seamlessly.

Two of the bathroom installations in our Marrickville small bathroom renovation case study have a feature tile.

In our first bathroom installation, all attention is captured by the gorgeous geometrical black and white floor tiles. This small bathroom renovation creates the perfect monochrome bathroom with subtle white elements thought the rest of the space.

 

Following the same methodology, another bathroom installation from this Marrickville case study makes a statement with the colourful feature wallpaper.

 

No Small Bathroom Renovation is Complete without Innovative Storage Solutions!

One of the most challenging aspects of small bathroom renovations is incorporating lots of storage, in addition to making the storage appear elegant and integrated into the overall design. Remember to utilise your walls for smart storage that doesn’t take up too much space, such as installing wall cabinets, built-in nooks, or even basic shelves!

 

Open-plan bathroom storage solutions are here to stay since they’re attractive and great for displaying all of your favourite lotions and potions, as well as colourful plants! The only stipulation is that things must remain nice and tidy because they are on display.

Pretty much each small bathroom renovation in our Marrickville case study utilises hidden storage behind the mirrors. It’s just a no-brainer – for small bathroom renovations, as the mirror provides a wealth of deep storage, all whilst not intruding into the room. These minor yet compelling elements are what elevate a concept to the level of a designer.

 

Always Opt for Wall-Hung Sink Cabinets

Wall-hung units – or units on slender legs – are the finest option for faking square footage in any small bathroom renovation. Simply because they allow people to see the room’s borders, tricking the eye into thinking the space is more expansive. Again, pretty much each small bathroom renovation in our Marrickville case study utilises floating vanities.

For a cohesive effect in your small bathroom renovation, make sure you choose a floating vanity style that matches the colour of your walls and think about wall-mounted taps, which allow for slimmer basins and more space on top for bathroom accoutrements.

22 Bathroom Flooring Trends for 2022

Our Big Bathroom Flooring Predictions For Next Year

Everybody wants a unique, exciting and memorable bathroom to call their own. 

Some people want a contemporary luxury spa feel, while others prefer decadent marble structures and a more traditional look.

But whatever your taste, the foundation of a truly exceptional bathroom design lies under your feet, in the flooring. 

Big, small, bright or moody, your bathroom can be any of those styles or shapes, but it’s flooring will always be one of the most important things to get right. 

We scoured Instagram, Pinterest and (our fave) Houzz to uncover the bathroom flooring ideas that we think will set the trend next year.

Here’s 22 bathroom flooring ideas that we predict will be gracing the world of bathrooms in 2022.

1 – The Pebble Bathroom Floor


Image from maisonderone

Stylish, slip resistant and relatively inexpensive to install, pebble or rock flooring provides a great material for wetroom and walk-in shower floors. 

Create a truly unique look with any number of pebble combinations and find the stars of the show in your local river or on a nearby beach, to save a little more money to spend elsewhere in the bathroom! 

Though laying the pebbles can take a bit of time, you can do it without the need for professional help – if you are feeling brave!

2 – Coloured Floor – Neutral Walls

If a neutral floor palette seems boring to you, why not go for an exciting splash of coloured tiling and do something completely different?

In this simply stunning space designed by German designer, Lien Tran Interior Design, the bright coloured floor tiles contrast with the marble feature walls to create a bright and vibrant space that is grown up while still being fun.

3 – Embrace Japandi Tranquility

The emerging trend of 2021 will only “blossom” further next year, and these stunning Kasai Carta Sakura porcelain tiles from Tile Club are certain to create the peaceful and relaxed vibe in your bathroom. 

Combining the ever popular Scandi style and the more natural elements of Japanese design, Japandi leans heavily on natural materials and neutral colours to create a calm and clean aesthetic that adds a harmonious feel to the bathroom.

We expect to see this sort of floor and wall tile in many bathrooms across Instagram in 2022 – we simply cannot take our eyes off it!

4 – Weave Your Way To A Stunning Mosaic Bathroom Floor

Made from Equator marble and featuring clean and crisp white and grey colours, these durable tiles have a natural beauty that creates an interesting geo pattern on your bathroom floor.

The lighter colouring in this tile makes it ideal for bathrooms with no natural light source and it works beautifully with the ever popular Scandi style of bathroom space. 

Find them at Tile Club.

5 – Black Herringbone For Ultimate Drama

Black Herringbone For Ultimate Drama

This open wetroom contrasts the deep and sensual black herringbone tiles with the ever popular white subway tiles on the walls. 

With a pair of chrome overhead rainfall showers, simple shower screen, and contrasting wooden bench, you would be hard pressed to find a space exuding a more grown up Scandi style than this.

Supremely stylish and modern, black herringbone will never not be cool to look at and we expect to see it a lot more next year!

6 – Moroccan Fish Scale (Shell or Mermaid Tiles)

“Shell tile” sounds so much nicer than “fish scale” and “mermaid tile” has a 70’s sort of a ring to it – but they are one and the same. 

Quirky and unorthodox, Moroccan fish scale tiles are a fun option for your bathroom flooring design and you can play with colours to your heart’s content to create a space unique to your own style. 

For some they may be a little too wild, but for many it’s a pattern that offers something out of the ordinary for a more progressive-looking bathroom.

7 – Even Bolder Colour Blocks – Brave Bathroom Flooring

Even Bolder Colour Blocks - Brave Bathroom Flooring

The UK has some of the smallest bathrooms in Europe, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be brave and bold with your flooring colour choice. 

Bold is beautiful and just because you have a smaller bathroom space, you don’t have to limit your colour choices to plain and simple. 

Simple square tiling in contrasting primary colours can create a wow factor in big and small bathroom spaces – so don’t be afraid of teaming bold colours together – as this 2022 bathroom flooring trend is all about being brave!

8 – Terrazzo Bathroom Tiles

Big in 2021 and continuing that way next year, Terrazzo was one of our favourites from the last 12 months and we would hope that people continue to recognise its subtle yet striking qualities. 

Super hardwearing and available in a range of colours, this marble chipping and cement combo tile is made from off cuts of other materials, so is a more sustainable bathroom flooring option.

Easily paired with almost any other colour, it provides an attractive, durable and striking look that lasts and that (we feel) won’t ever go out of style!

9 – Terracotta and Earth Tone Tiles

The warm and earthy tones of classic terracotta are on the rise and growing in popularity. 

Looking beautiful when combined with Terrazzo, shades range from warm clay and apricot hues through to red brick and fire orange.

This tile colour and design will make a huge impact in 2022 and can be stunning when paired with brushed copper and bronze brassware – both of which you will see much more of next year.

10 – Hexagonal Heaven

Hexagonal Tiles - Image from LivForInteriors
Hexagonal Tiles – Image from LivForInteriors

Big as a plate or as small as a fifty-pence piece (but with fewer sides) hexagon tiles come in a range of sizes and have long been a regular favourite for the bathroom floor. 

If you do opt for the very small ones, be careful to match them with a plain surface so they stand out and don’t have to compete with other textures. 

Colour choices are varied, but for a calm and soothing hexagonal flooring effect, white is always good, while green, blush and coral are proving to be ever more popular on Instagram.

11 – Green & Gold(With Hexagons Again!)

If you look back through the decades of bathrooms gone by, you’d be hard pressed to find anyone that would say they loved the green bathrooms of the 70’s and 80’s. 

In 2022, however, we can see green make a big impact and come back to prominence in bathrooms and ensuites – finally laying to rest the ghosts of it’s sickly avocado past.

Paired with traditional gold brassware, green floor and wall tiles create a kind of “art nouveau” feeling that brings the look together to create a stunning sense of the dramatic throughout the bathroom.

12 – Wood Floors For Spa-Lovers

If you’re looking for a truly “Zen” design, wooden flooring and wall accents can help you achieve it, brilliantly. 

Wood can help to soften the hard ceramics that are found in a bathroom, and the impact it can have on light and sound in the space is impressive too.

Seal your bathroom wood with boiled linseed oil or urethane as this will help to keep your natural wood grain nice and vibrant – and treat it outside before bringing it indoors as both linseed and urethane can have a strong smell!

Pair your wood floors and accents with traditional style bathroom furniture to create your own 2022 take on this classic bathroom style!

13 – Pattern It Black & White Mediterranean

Image from Complete Colours & Interiors
Image from Complete Colours & Interiors

Sometimes called “Tuscan” or “Spanish Modern”, we expect to see a little more of this style on “the Gram” in 2022.

Along with the terracotta comeback, Tuscan style bathrooms are again on the rise here in the UK and beyond – as it seems we just can’t shake that “led on a beach in the Med” vibe! 

This style was hugely popular in the USA in the noughties, but we’re hoping for a resurgence in the UK, this time with more ephasis on monotone styling.

To achieve this look, think about using patterned monochrome flooring, like this Spanish floor tile installation from Anissa Grossman at Complete Colours & Interiors.

14 – Marble SlabBathroom Flooring

Marble is versatile, durable and works alongside a range of colour schemes.

Adding value to your home, marble bathroom floors have seen a resurgence in Europe throughout 2021, and with good reason.

Sophistication, grandeur and a luxurious vibe are guaranteed with a marble floor – think expensive spa day or exceedingly posh hotel and you won’t be too far away from a dream bathroom at home!

15 – A Polka Dot Paradise

Image from Apartment Therapy Instagram
Image from Apartment Therapy Instagram

Right now you’ll find polka dot bathroom accessories in almost every furnishing store you can think of. 

Why? Because it’s on the way up the trends chart. 

The irony – and it’s not lost on us – is that polka dots used to be associated with the plague and uncleanliness – and yet here we are in 2021/22 and we’re using them in the cleanest room of our homes. 

Helping to create a classic look and feel, polka dots could be far more adventurous too if you opt for the coloured variety – with gold polka dots seen quite regularly across Pinterest, Houzz and IG.

16 – Geometric Shapes & Unusual Patterns

Image from The Nord Room
Image from The Nord Room

Geometric tiling is still a trend we love, and we’ve seen a lot more of it over the last 12 months too. 

Though the style has never really gone away, linear and angular furniture designs have probably contributed to geometric flooring becoming popular again. 

Warmer tones paired with neutral wall tiles can achieve a beautiful country-style bathroom if paired with a freestanding bathtub and traditionally styled brassware. 

If you’re feeling slightly more adventurous try tiling a little further up the wall and you’ll create a lavish bathroom space that is sure to turn heads.

17 – Stencilled Designer Bathroom Floor

You know the old design saying “if you don’t like something, paint it”? Well, that’s what bathroom flooring stencil fans tend to say to justify their work! 

Designer bathroom stencilling is a great idea and not limited to any one style or design.

A great DIY bathroom project that will work on almost any type of bathroom floor, we love the stencils from Royal Design Studio – who have a seemingly endless supply of amazing ideas! 

Relatively inexpensive when compared to completely retiling or laying out a new floor, stencils could be where you save a little extra money to spend on more luxurious bathroom items.

18 – Zellige Tile Bathroom Flooring

Zellige Tiles by BestTile

Another Moroccan favourite of ours – and everyone else’s – are Zellige tiles. 

Handmade and with a definitively unique and imperfect charm, Zellige tiles were everywhere back in 2019, but we predict they’ll make a slow and sure comeback to the walls and floors of UK bathrooms in 2022.

As each of them are hand moulded, hand cut and hand finished there are no two Zellige tiles that are the same, which is not ideal for the perfectionists out there!

19 – Cork Bathroom Flooring

As we look to become ever more eco-friendly and go green in our approach to modern living, there is certain to be a rise in the use of cork flooring in bathrooms, and that’s just one of the reasons it makes it into our list.

A unique and eco-conscious flooring material, cork is fabulous for bathroom floors as it is resistant to mould and mildew and works brilliantly in damp bathroom spaces. 

Spongy and filled with natural air pockets, cork is soft and comfortable under foot, and though it is more expensive than floor tiles and carpet (who uses carpet these days?) we are certain you’ll see more of it in your IG & Pinterest feeds in 2022.

20 – Classic Penny Tiles

Penny Tile Bathroom Flooring – LittleBlackBookOfInteriors

A distant cousin of the hexagonal tiling above, penny tiles are the ultimate in classical bathroom flooring options.

First gracing the bathrooms of the early 1900’s they are slowly but surely becoming popular again, and we expect big things for these small tiles in 2022. 

With their non-slip surface making them great for wetrooms and high traffic bathrooms, they are perfect for wrapping around curved areas, thanks to their diminutive size and look stunning every time.

Normally used in classic black and white, today’s penny tiles come in a glittering array of colours and patterns that will help to create a unique flooring style in your bathroom.

21 – Real Stone Bathroom Flooring

Image from The Stone & Tile Company Instagram
Image from The Stone & Tile Company Instagram

A stunning way to make a bold and elegant style statement, natural stone is a great bathroom flooring material that is both strong and durable.

Real stone flooring is expensive and decadent, but that is to be expected, as every quarry in the world has a slightly different type of stone with different veining and colouring guaranteeing a unique look that won’t be found anywhere else in the world.

A really strong and positive selling point for any home, natural stone will be seen a lot more in 2022 as new and more effective synthetic sealants make it a viable material for use in wet rooms and walk in showers.

22 – Lily Pad Porcelain Tiles

Bathroom Designed By Tracy Cole of HelloFloraUK
Bathroom Designed By Tracy Cole of HelloFloraUK Instagram

A best-selling tile of the last 3 to 4 years, lily pad offers a striking geometric pattern with angular lines that has been inspired by patterns found in nature. 

The lily pad pattern has no boundaries when it comes to helping you achieve a versatile look that can be either modern or traditional. 

It’s fab at making small spaces feel much bigger than they are, which is probably why it is finding its way into more UK bathrooms and ensuites. 

Although it was huge in 2019, 2020 and 2021, we don’t see this style going away any time soon, and if anything it is set to be even more colourful and popular as it is a tile that can help to create a range of visual effects that enhance your bathroom space.

How to Choose a Glass Door for your Bathtub Replacement

Do your tub curtains have you so frustrated you KNOW (even if it’s the last thing you do) you’re going to replace them with glass doors in your upcoming bathtub replacement? Have you had it ‘up to here’ (as Mom used to say) with moldy, smelly curtains? You’re also sick of cleaning water off the […]
