When you first started this design series, I took the test and was 33% Contemporary, 33% Scandi/Japandi, and 33% MCM. This video reinforces I like more of a minimal Japandi look but with more color. Thanks for showing the differences.
I really enjoy all of your design style videos. They are so informative and beautifully produced. I also love how you coordinate your clothing choices with the design style. I think your Japandi style outfit is my favorite one of all. I can’t wait until next Thursday!
As a Dane (most Scandinavian design is from Denmark) I have to say Americans tend to "lock" the Scandinavian style into a certain color pallet and into IKEA (we don't see IKEA as design as such but most people in Scandinavia have something from IKEA) but really we simply also have trends!!!!, sometime the trend is bright color, sometimes war,, sometimes light, sometimes the wood is bleach, sometimes is dark walnut, sometimes laxquered other times raw just with mat oil, however it always tend to be more or less simple, relaxed, warm ad typically mixed, Rustic with clean lines, old and new, mid century modern with mixed with everything!, what Americans call mid century modern is actually what we in Scandinavia call Scandinavian design, now just the design made here from that period, that is Danish designers such as Poul Henningsen, Arne Jacobsen (those two are the higest Gods, and yes I wrote Gods as in Denmark design is a religion, it's estimated 50% of all Danish homes have one or more Poul Henningsen lamps, other designers are Hans Wegner, Finn Juhl, Verner Panton, Kaj Bøje Kåre Klint, Børge Mogensen, we can go on, and Swedish designer Bruno Mathsson, Josef Frank, Carl Malmsten, Arne Norell and others, in Sweden however the designs went into a though time when IKEA arrived, we blend these designers with IKEA or other, or things we found at the flee market, there are also lots of new designers all the time, and what you see in trends in the US often come from Europe and has been here for years, other things start in the US like airfryers or when the micro wave oven came, but design is usually from Europe, when we use color it is usually a pop meaning we don't repeat all sorts of blue around the room, we a a blue couch or a big bold art work, it's not about not having color it's knowing when to stop when talking about Scandinavian style, one or two bright colors make much more statement , like a woman in black dress wearing bright red shoes.
Growing up in the 1960s, my family had the only house sporting Danish Modern décor in our semi-sprawling housing development (I babysat in many of those other homes, so I know of what I speak). The default was Early American / Colonial. In fact, the company that made my parents' suite of furniture, Baumritter, later changed their name to match their most popular line: Ethan Allen! While others hung framed prints of bucolic landscapes, we had unframed canvasses of Mondrian and Scuda abstracts on the walls at our house. It was different but interesting. (But we still thought our parents were the biggest squares around.) Our sofa was a drab dark blue, but an accent chair had an orange nubby upholstery.
As a Scandinavian was absolutely shocked to spont only one piece of Scandinavian design besides Ikea. Where did the big Nordic designers go? Architects who designed whole houses down to silverware? No art? Besides the big Danish names from mid century what about Alvar Aalto, Saarinen both father and son, Revell. I like and have enjoyed your videos in the past. This time have to give you C- and suggestion to revise your subject. Maybe take yourself and your video crew for a trip across the Atlantic go and see for yourself the classic Scandinavian decor suppliers Illums in Copenhagen, Svenska Tenn in Stockholm and Artek in Helsinki.
I can appreciate the esthetic and it's lovely, but being a maximalist and loving my collections...not for me but to each his own. My son and his partner did their home in a Scandinavian design mixed in some mid century and transitional pieces...it worked out well for them. THANK YOU for the videos...
Yep, that contemporary stuff is what I also remember Scandi for years ago. So glad it's changed & become warmer. I'm also not a fan of how disposable everything looks in Scandi, but I love the soft, gentle warmth. The Japanese element brings in solid workmanship with regards to carpentry, which I like. Japandi looks great in hot environments too where you don't want a lot of elements impeding air flow & yet looks cool, cozy & inviting all at once. 😎
My morher did our first home in ‘Danish Modern’ in the 1950’s, so everything old is new again, I suppose. In fact, my elderly aunt has my mother’s dining room furniture, which was Drexel-and built to last. She’s taken excellent care of it and has promised to give it to me when she decides to move from her current home into assisted living. The circle will then be complete!
Beautiful to see.. I had the Scandi look when we first married. Two great walnut dressers and a walnut cedar chest. The couch and chairs came with the apt and were bamboo. This was a trip back for me. Thanks, Donna
Thank you for passing your design knowledge to your followers. I really enjoy trying to find my design preferences and looking out for pieces that I will love and enjoy. When bored or need a change I can incorporate a few items I love with new pieces I have come to love.
Thank u Rebecca. Really liked this video. Hope u will continue this series anytime soon. Still looking forward to your input for Modern Farmhouse and Cottage Core. Take good care 😊
Thank you for this series- I’m a new Design Sessions member and learning so much! Ready to figure out my style and take this journey using design principles for my new home. Alisa
Hey there Rebecca, thank you for continuing with this series! I recently re-did your style quiz and Japandi is one of my top 3 styles. I always heard about the style, but I didn't realize just how clean, elegant and peaceful it is (which is perfect because I'm trying to achieve these sentiments in our new home). I really got a lot out of your examples and learned that Scandinavian and Scandi have their own unique properties whereas before I assumed that they were one in the same. As always your outfits are fab!
Love both styles. Too bad I have so much stuff. Ha! Your videos are fabulous! So detailed in each category, Furniture, lighting, rugs, art. Thank you, Rebecca.
Hi love this episode. can you feature modern industrial combined with minimalism? I am struggling on what furnitures I can put on my entry way and foyer. Thanks.
Love the visuals. Helps me understand both styles so much. Im more of a hotel chic kind of person. I'm going to see if you have any examples in your video catalogue ❤
You make a wonderful teacher Ms. Robeson! With each of these style sessions, you have broken it down so well. I feel like I have a solid foundation of the look, color pallet, furniture style and the feeling it evokes. These create great jumping off points to build a cohesive look of your own. Thank you as always.
as a Scandinavian let me make it even more simple, in Scandinavia we also have trends! and there is no such thing as rules about not having bright colors, there are trends so sometimes the trend is more calm, neutral, sometimes more colorful, sometimes the wood is dar other times light ect. but always: simple, not a lot window treatment if any, white is always popular although not a rule in any way and usually we mix old and new, cheap and expensive, most homes have mid century modern pieces like Poul, Henningsen, Arne Jacobsen, Bruno Mathsson and many other Scandinavian MCM designers, in other words what Americans call Scandi is just one trend taken from one period, it' a bit IKEA 2010
HI Rebecca. Thank you for such an educational video! I learned so much on Scandinavian and Japandi designs, and I seem to love both design styles! I live in Honolulu and my home is somewhat Asian with shoji doors and cut-out wood paneling with a touch of Hawaiiana. Yes please more videos on the different design styles and the accessories that go with them! Mahalo again!
I love both styles. I err more on side of Japandi, but with a touch of modern organic. I love the imperfect look and asymmetry. Working toward this in my home. It's fun.
Hi Cindy, minimalist is one of the design styles I’ve already filmed so keep an eye out for a soon to be released episode on the minimalist style 🙌🏻 RR
Beautifully explained Rebecca. Anyone should ba able to understand and purchase the right pieces to complement either one of these styles. Nicely done!
Appreciate this Rebecca! ❤ I took the design quiz at the start of your series and it is confirmed, this is definitely my style. I agree that how one person styles their home is one's interpretation and character. Thank you! Keep on shining, my dear! Also, I noticed in this video, as a mother myself, appreciate you highlighting Sharra and Jimmy's home for their individuality and for what they have done to their respective homes relating to Scandi and Japandi design. Love, Christina ❤
As an Interior Designer myself, I just can't believe I never noticed that Scandi is the style of my home! 😅😂 I guess I wasn't very familiar with it, but I do love all about it. Thanks for sharing!
I enjoy all your videos but this one just "speaks" to me, my 2 favorite styles, I have learned a lot and those are my styles...maybe with a touch of traditional but love all that is airy, clean lines and fresh, whites and creams, loved them...thanks for another great video...your outfit is out of this world beautiful and so in tune with those 2 styles...well done
Neither is my style but love the information you gave us about each style. Appreciate the time and effort you put into each video just for us. Love ya ❤
Fabulous Rebbeccah - Thank you so much for this video, very interesting. I would have never linked japan to scandinavia, but the minimalist and neutral style in both makes them similar in a sense.
Rebecca, i just bought an LG G series tv (one that sits flush to the wall, and is less than an inch thick so it looks like a picture frame. It seems like it would be off-balanced to have a 14"-20" deep media cabinet under a very thin wall-mounted TV. Additional detail: this is in my home theater room. The tv will have 3' tall tower speakers on either side, a center channel speaker underneath, and 2 15×15×15" subwoofers on the same wall (either to the inside or the outside of the tower speakers). Would a media cabinet that was T shapped going up in between the subwoofers, and then exending over the top of the subwoofers look right?
Thank you! I loved your presentation despite my visceral reaction to the first half. My mother's taste in Danish Modern made my childhood home uncomfortable for me to grow up in as my taste is firmly rooted in Culman & Kravis Traditional design. I agree with your statement that the Japandi style offers a bridge between Scandinavian/Scandi and Traditional decorating styles. I'll definately return for more "style series" sessions in the future!
Hygge can be done in any home style because it's a lifestyle. It's not just a warm home decor. Minimalism and or "lagom" the Swedish meaning is: just enough, is the prevalent force in all Scandinavian design, different names of course for each country but same concept. America seemed to just do it all their way then say it's Scandinavian.
I always learn so much from your videos you are very knowledgeable and talented. Thank you Can you tell us where we can find your outfits you look so beautiful in the white sweater and tan outfit
Great design session! I didn't realize how much I enjoyed the clean, serene look scandi and japandi styles until I saw your episode. Although I took the design quiz and my style is transitional with some cottage, I'm also a minimalist who doesn't like clutter or a lot of tchotchkes, which just goes to show you that we can enjoy more than one style!
When you first started this design series, I took the test and was 33% Contemporary, 33% Scandi/Japandi, and 33% MCM. This video reinforces I like more of a minimal Japandi look but with more color. Thanks for showing the differences.
I stopped when it asked for my email address. Most of the elements I liked are Japandi, boho & mcm.
I really enjoy all of your design style videos. They are so informative and beautifully produced. I also love how you coordinate your clothing choices with the design style. I think your Japandi style outfit is my favorite one of all. I can’t wait until next Thursday!
Your cream and tan fit is “giving” I like it a lot

@@paulawalin1828she said it was a DERIVATIVE of Scandinavian, “scandi” NOT “Scandinavian”.
@@texasangela exatly, please refere to the Oxford dictionary for clarification.
Thank you, Rebecca! Can't wait to see more of these!
BTW, your beige and white outfit was perfect for the scandi/japandi styles!
Apart for your excellent content you always look so groomed and stylish! Love all your outfits!!
I love minimalist Japandi interior design
More of these videos, i love them. Thanks
Hermosa explicación de estas 2 formas de decoración, gra por mostrar de forma tan clara y profesional este video

This was the last video about the series, 5 months ago, I hope they continue. Love your style❤
Love seeing all of the design styles you present!! You are the master!
You look very refreshed.

Nice video... I am watching your video 1st time...
I love both styles. I err more on side of Japandi, but with a touch of modern organic. I love the imperfect look and asymmetry. Working toward this in my home. It's fun.
Loving the series. Waiting for Minimalist as that is the style I prefer and the one that was rated over 60% in my test results. Thank you.
Hi Cindy, minimalist is one of the design styles I’ve already filmed so keep an eye out for a soon to be released episode on the minimalist style 🙌🏻 RR
Oh my word I was praying you were going to do these two. Yippee so glad you did them. Thank you thank you thank you

Love the series , glad to see you continuing. Japandi was my style on the quiz . Your outfit was perfect for both!
DS member
Neither is my style but love the information you gave us about each style. Appreciate the time and effort you put into each video just for us. Love ya ❤
Thank you was very informative
Thanks so much for making the distinction between the two. We love Hygge (pronounced by the Danish hoogah). Love your videos!
Fabulous Rebbeccah - Thank you so much for this video, very interesting. I would have never linked japan to scandinavia, but the minimalist and neutral style in both makes them similar in a sense.
Regardless of what people say I love the videos created by you on different styles!

I’m renovating and just found u ❤
You are excellent Rebecca. Nobody does these style reviews better than you do.
I luv japandi

My favorite style is scandi. I think it's the antithesis of chaos and my soul needs that
Hygge can be done in any home style because it's a lifestyle. It's not just a warm home decor. Minimalism and or "lagom" the Swedish meaning is: just enough, is the prevalent force in all Scandinavian design, different names of course for each country but same concept. America seemed to just do it all their way then say it's Scandinavian.
Like they have done with absolutely everything they discover for the first time. From food, to decor to culture.
Love your outfits ❤wish you would put links of where to buy
I found both depressing, but if it makes you happy go for it, as usually very interesting😊
I love the minimalistic style but with a rustic touch, since I live in the AZ mountains.
I always learn so much from your videos you are very knowledgeable and talented. Thank you Can you tell us where we can find your outfits you look so beautiful in the white sweater and tan outfit
Loving your designs & inspirations😊🎉
Love it Rebecca!❤ you haven’t do this series for a while! I will get every little inspiration the you bring to us 🎉
I really appreciated it 🥰
love japandi
Thank you Rebecca!
This is my style!
