Japandi Cuisine

Japandi is a mix of Japanese and Scandinavian styles. It is all about simplicity, but without feeling impersonal. Instead of excess, the focus is on the functional, the practical and the natural. Colors are subdued, and materials are carefully chosen to bring a sense of calm and coziness. The style lends itself well to a kitchen that is not only beautiful to look at, but also practical to use.

A Japandi kitchen not only feels visually pleasing, but also easy to use on a daily basis. It is a kitchen where everything has its place without being too distracting. The materials used, such as wood, stone and ceramic, create a warm, natural atmosphere. At the same time, there is great attention to practical layouts that make work in the kitchen easier. So a Japandi kitchen is not one that screams for attention, but one that provides the comfort and tranquility you need to start or end the day well.

In a Japandi kitchen, materials play a big role. Wood, such as oak or bamboo, is often found in the cabinet doors and countertops. This gives the kitchen a natural look that is not too busy. Besides wood, ceramic, natural stone and composite are also used, which are not only beautiful but also practical to maintain. Colors are neutral, with light tones of white, gray and beige. These colors create a space that does not overwhelm, but invites you to spend time there.

The layout of a Japandi kitchen focuses on simplicity and efficiency. Much attention is paid to keeping things organized and easy to find. Cabinet fronts are often sleek and without too much fuss, and handles are small or not present at all. This makes the kitchen visually calm and uncluttered. Inside drawers and cabinets, clever storage solutions such as bamboo organizers keep everything neatly in place. These are small details that contribute to a tidy and functional feeling in the kitchen.

The technology in a Japandi kitchen is not only modern, but also subtly integrated. Consider, for example, an induction cooktop that is incorporated into the worktop so that it does not distract from the calm design. The cooktop, faucets and even the sink can come in colors such as beige or sand, which perfectly match the neutral tones in the kitchen. This creates a calm and clean look without making appliances stand out too much. At Amstel Keukens, we ensure that these technologies are not only beautiful, but also function well and are easy to use.
