Poster calma Japandi & Scandi

For a bedroom, go with one or two larger japandi wall art prints rather than a busy gallery wall. A single 50x70cm or 70x100cm print above the headboard in muted tones (think warm greys, soft clay, or faded ink wash) will anchor the room without competing with your sleep. We'd pick something with organic forms or quiet line work over anything geometric. Our framed prints arrive ready to hang with UV-protective glazing, so you don't need to worry about fading even if your bed sits near a window.

Natural oak is the safest bet for japandi style prints because it bridges the Scandinavian warmth and Japanese simplicity without drawing attention away from the artwork. If your room leans more Japanese (darker wood furniture, black accents), go with black. White frames can work in very light, airy Scandi-leaning spaces but tend to feel a bit too clean for a true Japandi look. All our frames are solid FSC-certified wood, so even up close the grain and finish feel considered, not like a cheap surround.

You absolutely can mix them. The trick is to treat your Japandi pieces as the quiet anchor and let your existing art be the louder voice. A calm minimalist wall art print in neutral tones pairs beautifully next to something bolder, like a colourful abstract or a vintage photograph, as long as you keep the frames consistent. A good starting point: hang your Japandi print at eye level in the centre of a group and build outward.

For a standard UK living room wall above a sofa (roughly 180cm wide), we'd recommend either one large statement print at 70x100cm or a pair of 50x70cm prints hung 5-8cm apart. Three or more starts to feel like a gallery wall, which can work but pulls away from that pared-back Japandi calm you're probably after. Stick to two pieces maximum from our scandi calm art prints and let the wall itself do some of the work. Negative space is a feature, not a problem.

Scandinavian minimalist art prints tend to be cooler, cleaner, and more graphic. Think stark line drawings, pure whites, and light pastels. Japandi pulls in the Japanese side: warmer neutrals, wabi-sabi imperfection, ink-wash textures, and a feeling of quiet age rather than bright newness. Our japandi wall art prints lean into that warmth and organic texture, so they bring depth and soul to a room in a way that pure Scandi minimalism sometimes doesn't. If your space feels a bit cold or sterile, Japandi is probably the direction you actually want.
