If you don’t like hanging artwork and prefer a more minimalist look, you can definitely still achieve while having a TV! 

Be sure to mount. your TV and add some texture or shelving to frame the TV in your space and make it look like a cool, minimalist art piece. 

Area Rugs

This more traditional, Persian style rug looks amazing in this Japandi-style living room. This is proof that you can easily combine more traditional elements into your Japandi space. 

When choosing a patterned rug, make sure you are pulling at least one of the colors into another aspect of your decor to ensure your room looks cohesive. 

This is another example of a gorgeous patterned rug in a Japandi-style living room design project. 

I love how the distressing on this rug contrasts the more minimalist elements. It makes the room feel grounded and organic while seamlessly tieing in the black metal finishes. 

When can I move in?!

One of the the most common rug styles you’ll see in a Japandi living room design project is a jute rug. And for good reason!

Dried bouquets are a great way to add some organic texture and greenery to your space without having to worry about upkeep or budgeting for flowers every week!

Cane furniture is a great way to add a ton of texture and life to your room! 

This timeless material is super trendy right now. It looks great in any Japandi living room because it brings in lots of texture and natural materials while keeping things looking airy and fresh. 

Use Braided Baskets for Storage

Storage baskets are a great way to keep your necessities accessible without having them cluttering your living area. 

They’re an awesome two-in-one solution because they also double as decor! 

Natural-fiber baskets look amazing in this space and add a lot of texture and visual interest. 

Add Decorative Jars and Vases

Decorative jars and vases are a great budget-friendly way to add some Japandi style to your living room.

Colored glass, stone, or ceramic vases all make excellent options and can really add a lot of style to any space.

This pedestal vase is so interesting and makes the room feel more full and inviting.

When you’re decorating with vases and decorative jars, you don’t necessarily need to stick to the rule of threes in interior design. Well, at least not in a traditional way. Feel free to mix up the different items you’re using to create three different levels to the space rather than three jars or vases. 

Coffee table books and planters are all great options for adding additional levels to your decor! 

Check out this post with the BEST coffee table books to add to your decor. 

Use Neutral Coffee Table Books

The neutral coffee table books in this space are gorgeous and add so much to the simple Japandi coffee table. 

Adding coffee table books is a great way to not only decorate a room, but also to incorporate your interests into your decor. 

You could even add books about Japandi interior design to make really set the tone for the whole room!

Use Throw Pillows to Add Color

Throw pillows are an easy and budget-friendly way to expand your Japandi color palette in your living room design project! 

Choose throw pillows in muted colors or earthy neutrals to add color into your minimalist space. 

Throw pillows are also a great way to add more texture to your space to make it feel even cozier and more inviting!

Add Minimalist Task Lighting

When you’re looking for ways to add more Japandi-inspired items to your living room design project, task lighting can be a great place to start! 

Choosing minimalist floor lamps or table lamps in neutral shades will make your space more functional and inject more Japandi style.

Add Natural Fiber Light Fixtures

Natural fiber light fixtures like lamps and chandeliers are a great way to incorporate natural materials into your room! 

I love how interesting this room is from the ceiling to the floor. I just want to touch everything! 

Use Decorative Trays

Decorative trays are a great way to style a minimalist space! They provide a confined area to store all your everyday items while also filling up the surface area of your furniture without adding too much visual weight.

Choose decorative trays in natural materials to make your space feel more grounded. 

Decorate with Candles

You can’t really talk about Japandi without the most important part of Scandinavian interior design – candles! 

Candles add so much coziness to any room. 

I love the minimalist style of these candlesticks.  It allows you to add multiple candles to your space without risking anything looking too cluttered. 

This fun twisted candlestick is also a great way to incorporate candles into your Japandi living room! 

I love how the candles are all different heights – and potentially different colors? They look so cute on this coffee table.

Decorate with Greenery

There are so many ways to add greenery into your Japandi living room! 

I love this dramatic, oversized planter and tree. It is definitely a statement piece and will look amazing against minimalist furniture. 

This smaller potted plant also make a huge statement in this room! Adding a potted plant to shelving or a sideboard up against your wall is a great way to decorate your walls without putting any holes into them. 

Get a Minimalist Statement Mirror

Mirrors are a great way to make your room look bigger and lighter! 

A minimalist mirror is a great way to add lots of clean, simple lines into your room while also reflecting light and making the room feel bigger. 

I love how this mirror is reflecting the branches and almost looks like a doorway into another room.

Mix Up Your Fabrics

Mixing up fabrics can make your space look so much more interesting and cozy! I love how these pillows are all in the same color palette but are different colors and fabrics. 

Adding in a fabric-covered ottoman to use as a coffee table is also a great way to add in a different texture to your Japandi living room design! 

Layer Your Curtains

I LOVE how this layered curtain looks in this minimalist, Japandi-style living room. 

Layering your curtains gives you a great opportunity to add in different textures and materials. This is extra important in living rooms so. that you can have both softly filtered light and stronger light filtering depending on the time of day. 

Decorate with Black

Black accents are a great way to add some Japandi touches and deepen the color palette of your space. 

If you already have a lot of lighter decor or don’t want to add too many dark pieces to your small space, a few black accents can really help keep the color palette from getting too light.

All you need are a few black jars, decorative trays, or coffee table books to incorporate black into your decor.
