The Art of Cosy Minimalism: Hygge and Japandi Simplified

When it comes to creating a home that feels both stylish and serene, two design philosophies have taken centre stage in recent years: Hygge and Japandi. These two styles resonate deeply with those who value simplicity, comfort, and a connection to nature. 

What is Hygge?

Hygge (pronounced “hoo-ga”) is a Danish concept that resolves around creating a sense of cosiness, contentment, and well-being. It’s more than just a style-it’s the way of life that celebrates the joy found in simple pleasures, whether that’s curling up with a good book, hosting an intimate dinner, or surrounding yourself with meaningful objects.

Key features of Hygge-inspired interiors include:

  • Neutral, calming colour pallets
  • Soft textures like wool, linen, or sheepskin
  • Functional yet beautiful furniture that invites relaxation.

The Influence of Japandi

Japandi design takes this serene ethos a step further by blending the clean, minimal lines of Japanese aesthetics with the warmth and functionality of Scandinavian style. This fusion emphasises: 

  • Natural materials like wood, stone, and cane
  • Decluttered spaces that focus on intentional living
  • A harmonious balance between form and function

The result is an interior style that feels calming yet sophisticated – a perfect fit for modern life.

Our Hygge Cane & Mango Collection draws inspiration from these two complementary styles, offering pieces that are as beautiful as they are practical. Hand crafted from sustainably sourced mango wood, the range features cane webbing accents and a white patina finish that evokes a sense of timeless elegance. 

Co-founder of Casa Bella Suzanne Pearce, believes that “greenery” and “black & white photography” are the perfect accessories to compliment this range. Find out more about how she styles Hygge Cane & Mango in her home, on our latest ‘take a seat’ episode on Instagram.
