Scandi home design has been popular in South Australia for years, but now there’s a new kid in town, and it’s showcased in a home that’s set to do a lot of good.
Japandi is an interior design and architectural style that blends the minimalist and natural elements of Japanese aesthetics with the functionality and comfort of Scandinavian design.
And it takes centre stage in The Advertiser Foundation’s Good Home.
The house and land of the stunning Oakden Rise property at 24 Bluegum Way, Oakden were donated by Weeks Homes and Villawood Properties, and it is set to be auctioned next month, with all proceeds going to charity.

MyChoice Design Studio – which is affiliated with Weeks Homes – SA manager, Sam Parobiec, 35, says Japandi only really gained prominence in Australia recently.
“It was showcased on The Block two years ago and really took off all over Australia,” she said.

“Japandi is a very cohesive home, so the exterior and interior speak to each other and it’s very grounded, with lots of earthy and warm tones and no real dark accents – lots of natural timbers, textural elements and linens.

Ms Parobiec said Japandi’s aesthetic of cool exterior tones complemented SA’s climate.
“It’s really consistent with how we live – I think Japandi’s here to stay and it’s only going to get more popular,” she said.
