Japandi living with a southern touch
An atmospheric interior with beige tones, natural materials, and a comfortable seating area. In this home tour, you’ll see how color, calm, and personality come together in a warm living room full of character.
Playful and atmospheric
Rianne describes her interior as playful, cosy and atmospheric—a mix of Japandi with a subtle Spanish touch. Beige tones form the base, complemented by natural materials such as rattan, jute and bamboo. The living room feels warm and calm, yet never boring. By combining different textures and shapes, the space remains visually interesting. From a soft rug to unique thrifted accessories: everything contributes to a personal interior style.
“I love a cosy home, and it can be quite full as long as the atmosphere feels right.”
Light and balance
With no fewer than 32 windows, managing natural light was a challenge. Too much light can make an interior feel cold, while atmosphere is created through balance. By choosing pleated click shades, the view is preserved while sunlight is gently filtered. This creates a soft, warm ambiance in the living room. Large plants enhance this effect and add a lively, natural feel.
Eye-catchers with a story
What makes this interior unique are the personal items. The dining table is a perfect example. Once black, it was completely hand-sanded down to a warm wood finish. These kinds of DIY projects give the interior character and create a truly distinctive look. Accessories also play an important role: vases in organic shapes, often hand-painted in the perfect beige tone. The result is an interior that doesn’t feel standard, but truly one of a kind.
“I just love the perfect shade of beige, nothing beats it!”
The perfect sofa
The seating area is the heart of the living room, featuring the standout Molli modular sofa by By SIDDE. Its deep seating makes this sofa extra comfortable and invites you to sink in and relax. The choice of a beige colour seamlessly matches her interior style: calm, warm and timeless. A modular sofa like this fits perfectly within current interior trends, where flexibility and comfort take centre stage.
“I just wanted that one sofa… and then suddenly, there was Molli!”
Rianne’s tips
For anyone who wants to get started with interior styling, Rianne shares a few valuable tips. Work with a clear colour base, for example using the 3-colour rule: one base colour and a maximum of two accent colours. This creates a sense of calm in your interior. Also, paint your ceiling in the same colour as the walls for a serene and luxurious effect. And perhaps most importantly: follow your intuition and choose what suits you, not just what’s trending.
“Stay true to yourself, and your home will naturally become your place.”
