Create your ideal Japandi look with Patternmatch Interiors – including made-to-measure blinds, shutters, soft furnishings, and colour-perfect paints.

If you're looking to refresh your home with a sense of calm, simplicity and sophistication, Japandi style is one of the most inspiring design trends to explore. Rooted in the fusion of Japanese minimalism and Scandinavian warmth, Japandi has become popular in homes across Bedfordshire, offering an effortlessly balanced aesthetic that works beautifully in both period homes and modern builds.

At Patternmatch Interiors, we help customers in Bedford, Ampthill, Flitwick, Biggleswade, Sandy and the surrounding areas bring the Japandi look to life with a bespoke mix of blinds, shutters, fabrics, paints and home styling advice. Here’s how you can do the same in your space.

What is Japandi Style? Japandi combines two powerful design philosophies:

Japanese Wabi-Sabi: Embracing simplicity, craftsmanship, and the beauty of imperfection

Scandinavian Hygge: Celebrating comfort, natural textures, and light-filled interiors

The result? Calm, uncluttered rooms that still feel cosy and welcoming. It's perfect for anyone in Bedfordshire looking to declutter, reset, or just create a sanctuary at home.

Paint Colours for Japandi Interiors One of the most important starting points is your wall colour. Japandi interiors favour neutral tones with earthy warmth – think soft taupes, stone greys, pale sage greens, muted charcoal, or warm white.

We offer a curated paint palette at Patternmatch Interiors to help you find exactly the right Japandi shade. All our paints are carefully selected to complement our made-to-measure blinds and natural fabric ranges. Whether you're repainting a lounge in Clapham or renovating a cottage in Woburn Sands, we can help you find a colour that brings the look together.

Made-to-Measure Blinds & Shutters for the Japandi Look Japandi rooms use clean lines and practical light control. That’s where our custom blinds and shutters come in. Some popular choices include:

Wooden venetian blinds in pale oaks or deep charcoals

Roman blinds in textured, natural linens

Café-style shutters for privacy without blocking daylight

Roller blinds in earthy tones or raw-look fabrics

We supply and fit all blinds and shutters with expert care across Bedfordshire – from Kempston and Bromham to Shefford and Arlesey. Every product is made-to-measure, so your finish is neat, stylish, and exactly right for your space.

Layering Fabrics and Accessories Japandi avoids visual clutter, but that doesn’t mean rooms should feel cold. A few soft textures go a long way. We recommend:

Sheer curtains layered over blinds for a gentle, diffused light

Natural fabrics like linen, cotton and wool for cushions and throws

Bespoke seat pads or bench cushions in neutral tones with a textured weave

Many of our Bedfordshire clients pair our blinds with curtains for that ideal mix of warmth and minimalism – especially in older homes with higher ceilings or bay windows.

Maybe you love a bit more colour? We can introduce clay pinks or smoky blues. Want to add more warmth? We’ve got wood tones and natural weaves that elevate the look without breaking the style rules.
