Learn how the cabinetry really brings this style trend to life!

Japandi has evolved from its airy, light-toned roots to the organic, natural feel it brings to spaces today. Japandi 2.0 is tactile with soft, architectural shapes and layered textures. If you you are drawn to rich colors and maximum functionality, this design style is for you. Read on to explore a stunning, tri-tone Remy kitchen that exemplifies this trend.

CABINET COLORS CREATE THE LOOK

The soul of this kitchen comes from its color palette. The warm wood tone of Maple Cider grounds the space while beautiful Painted Sage serves as an accent color. The Painted Linen range hood brightens the look without overwhelming the eye.

The elevated craftsmanship of the cabinetry serves as the backdrop for the other design choices, like the modern brushed gold hardware, waterfall counter top and statement bar stools. The end result is a space that is expressive and blends Japanese design influence with Scandinavian functionality.

DOOR STYLE MAKES A DIFFERENCE

Remy, our slim Shaker collection, works exceptionally in this space: it’s both elegant and modern. Japandi 2.0 favors restraint, with subtle decoration and clean lines. These collections give that same grounded, modern look:

CLUTTER-FREE FOR A ZEN FEEL

Keeping clutter out of sight creates visual calm—a hallmark of Japandi 2.0. Organization products keep your space streamlined and clean without sacrificing ease or comfort.

EFFORTLESS CLEAN-UP

Cleaning supplies have a home with the perfect under-sink combination: a Tilt Out Tray and Sink Base Multi-Storage Kit.

APPLIANCES HAVE A HOME

Don’t let large appliances take up valuable counter space; our Base Mixer Lift is an efficient storage solution.

JUNK DRAWER NO MORE

With our Wood Tiered Cutlery Divider there’s no clutter, even behind closed drawers.

CONTINUITY PROVIDES EFFORTLESS FLOW

Using the same cabinetry creates cohesion, especially when you have an open-concept floor plan. The built-in Maple Cider hutch that frames the dining area of this kitchen is beautifully effective. It adds both continuity and function. With extra space for storage and serving, a hutch elevates your daily dining experience and makes hosting even easier.

Your cabinetry hardware is an important choice—it either completes the picture or detracts from your vision. This space features our Briolette Pull in Modern Brushed Gold, adding quiet luxury with subtle style.

WABI-SABI INFLUENCE: BEAUTY IN IMPERFECTION

Japandi 2.0 design blends the clean functionality of Scandinavian interiors with the quiet philosophy of Japanese wabi-sabi, which finds beauty in simplicity, imperfection, and natural materials. This influence softens minimalism, replacing stark spaces with interiors that feel calm, organic, and lived-in. Rather than polished perfection, Japandi 2.0 embraces handcrafted objects, textured materials, and muted earthy tones. The result is a balanced aesthetic that is minimal yet warm.
