A small apartment in Gdansk is to be used for short-term rentals. It was a challenge for interior designers from Butterfly Studio. The interior was finished in Japandi style.

Japandi style was the basis for creating this interior

Japandi is a mixture of various styles. In its aesthetics, it draws from the simplicity of minimalism, the naturalness of Scandinavian style, emphasizing the magic of the passing of Wabi-Sabi and the art of Kintsugi - the value of mending.

Wood and elements imitating wood are an important element of the interior

This is perfectly evident in the interior from Butterfly Studio. The architects started by toning down the colors - emphasizing primarily grays and beiges. Adding to this is the color scheme of natural wood - visible in the kitchen built-in and the unique dining table. The color tone was interestingly broken up in the kitchen, by using a grayish-blue kitchen building in the lower part and completely white in the upper part.

The Japandi style is also complemented by the furniture, most of which was made of wood, or kept in a close color scheme. Wood also reigns supreme in the form of parquet flooring laid in a herringbone pattern. Another element is the vertical laths used in a small study completely dominated by a large mondora. An interesting and eye-catching exception is the wooden chairs in the dining room, finished in black.

In the second room a desk was organized

The toilet has been solved in a completely different way - the reigning feature here is the mimicking gray-grey stone ceramic tile and stoneware, reminiscent of more elegant terrazzo solutions. However, there is no lack of accessories and wood, visible in the washbasin enclosure.

In the hallway, the patches on the wall catch the eye

It's worth noting the accessories - they appear in small numbers, but at the same time catch the eye. Vases and pots with organic shapes, small and simple saucers, as well as lamps - solved as minimalist as possible. All these elements contribute to the unique Japandi style used by the architects of Butterfly Studio.
