Japandi Style Kitchen Islands Enhanced With Handleless Replacement Kitchen Cabinet Doors

Knowing your kitchen would benefit from a refresh and identifying the perfect style for your home are two very different things, so you're certainly not alone if you're looking for inspiration for your next interior design project.

Today, we want to sing the praises of Japandi design because it's a style that truly celebrates both form and functionality, both of which are integral to a successful kitchen design. So, let's explore exactly what Japandi style is and look at some of the replacement kitchen cabinet doors in the Happy Doors collection that align with the design ideals of this beautiful style.

What is Japandi Style?

Merging the beautiful qualities of Scandinavian and Japanese interiors, Japandi is more than just a buzzword. Both styles have a focus on simplicity, comfort, natural elements and sustainability, with the Japanese aesthetic bringing artistic elements and the Scandi aesthetic celebrating warmth and comfort.

Japandi interiors typically incorporate natural, high-quality materials, organic shapes, and neutral colours, which reflect the world around us because spending time outdoors is important to both Scandinavian and Japanese culture. With these key features in mind, here are some of our favourite Japandi inspired replacement kitchen cabinet doors.

Frequently Asked Questions About Replacement Kitchen Cabinet Doors and Japandi Style

Will Japandi kitchens ever go out of style?

While Japandi design has been around for many years, there are no signs that it's ever going to truly go out of style. However, whenever you're sitting down to design any room in your home, we always recommend choosing features that truly bring you joy and suit your lifestyle because this is the only way to guarantee that you'll be happy with your surroundings for many years to come.

Is it easy to install new replacement kitchen doors?

Replacing your kitchen cabinet doors is one of the simplest design projects you can undertake. You can also simplify the installation process even further by providing hinge hole measurements during the ordering process, as we'll pre-drill the holes for you. So, when your new doors arrive, all you'll need to do is grab a screwdriver to attach them to your existing cabinets.

How can I incorporate more Japandi design flourishes into my home?

As the most successful Japandi inspired spaces are light, airy and spacious, spending some time decluttering and embracing a less-is-more philosophy is often an excellent place to start. We also recommend choosing materials and features that enhance the connection with the outside world, whether that's through houseplants, wooden furniture or large windows.
