Our Story
In 2019, life as we knew it began to unravel.
Kevin and I were both running our design and marketing business when he started showing symptoms of CTE — a progressive brain condition caused by repeated trauma.
Our world shifted overnight.
Every day became about care, survival, and finding small moments of peace. Then the pandemic hit, and what was already fragile broke open completely.
One afternoon, I came across an image of a minimalist interior beside a single word: Japandi.
It instantly resonated. The harmony of Japanese and Scandinavian design — simplicity, warmth, balance — felt like a way to live. It became our lifeline, a path toward peace in the midst of uncertainty.
Together, we built this from the ground up—drawing on two decades of design and marketing experience, personal funding, and relentless determination.
What We Believe
Design is Care
What surrounds us should nurture balance, not noise.
Less is More
Mindful spaces invite peace, not clutter.
Sustainability is Essential
Real beauty lasts — for people, planet, and time.
Global Collaboration
Craftsmanship with conscience, globally sourced.
Our Purpose
Our mission is simple:
To calm humans and the planet through intentional design.
Each piece we share meets strict standards for sustainability, natural materials, and lasting craftsmanship. We partner directly with makers and brands that align with our values — artisans who create with respect for nature, not against it.
When you choose Japandi Supply House, you support a more mindful way to live and shop — one rooted in longevity, connection, and care.
Design can be an act of care — for people, for space, and for the planet.
