Beauty in Imperfection: Japandi Yards
We’ve seen an increase in desire for Japandi yards, a fusion of Scandinavian style, and the Japanese term “wabi-sabi,” which roughly translates to “there’s beauty in imperfection." Japandi yards break free from the neat lines of traditional landscaping and embrace the organic form. We predict that Japandi will be the one of the hottest outdoor style trends of 2022.
Japandi yards make beautiful use of texture and height, combining tall, billowy grasses with creeping ground covers and freely formed shrubs. Hardscaping selections often include warm woods and loose gravel and follow the shapes and curves of the terrain. And, as the backdrop, a home’s exterior walls and fences: soft charcoal, blues, and neutrals, which tie the whole space together.
The warm minimalism of Japandi yards makes them a great option for clients seeking a low-maintenance space. Embracing the natural form of plants and terrain encourages homeowners to embrace the beauty in their yard’s imperfections. However, Japandi doesn’t mean that the space lacks design--working with Yardzen’s design team will ensure that the yard flows and that you select plants that will thrive with little intervention. We predict Japandi will be one of the hottest outdoor style trends of 2022. #myyardzen #japandi #japandistyle #scandihome #organicmodern #sunsetmag
