Japandi TV Unit - Serenity & Functionality
Japandi TV Cabinet — Minimalism with Warmth
A Japandi TV cabinet is more than just a place to put the television. In a Japandi interior, it's a design statement — low to the ground, made of warm solid wood, with flowing lines and without unnecessary trinkets. The Japandi style combines Japanese minimalism with Scandinavian warmth: wood you can feel, shapes that mimic nature, a calming aesthetic that makes the screen disappear completely when the TV is off. At Industrial Home, you'll find TV cabinets that perfectly complement a Japandi living room.
What Makes a TV Cabinet 'Japandi'?
Not every TV cabinet is suitable for a Japandi interior. The characteristics of a true Japandi TV cabinet:
- Low profile — a Japandi TV cabinet is low to the ground, often on slender legs. This gives the living room a sense of airiness and calm.
- Warm solid wood — oak or mango wood, visible grain, honest material. No gloss, no thick lacquer layers.
- Clean lines — no ornate decorations. Everything has a function.
- Organic details — subtly rounded corners, a handle recessed into the wood.
- Natural color palette — light oak, warm brown mango wood, or a combination with matte black metal.

Japandi Living Room: How to Combine the TV Cabinet?
Color palette: warm & neutral
For the wall behind the TV cabinet, choose a warm neutral color — soft beige, warm light gray, or an earthy tone like terracotta. White walls also work, but opt for a warm white, not cool white.
Lighting: indirect and atmospheric
Japandi interiors avoid harsh spotlighting. Choose indirect floor lamps or wall lamps next to the TV cabinet. A warm light temperature (2700-3000K) enhances the Japandi ambiance.
Accessories: less is more
On the TV cabinet, there should be a maximum of 2 to 3 objects. Think of a small ceramic vase, a dry branch, or a handmade earthenware dish. No kitsch, no rows of collectibles.
Rug: organic and low-pile
An organically shaped rug in natural or beige tones connects the TV cabinet with the rest of the living room. Choose a low-pile model for the sleek Japandi look.

Buying advice: choosing the right TV cabinet
| TV size | Min. cabinet width | Ideal viewing distance |
|---|---|---|
| 50 inch (127 cm) | 130 cm | 2.0-2.5 m |
| 55 inch (140 cm) | 150 cm | 2.2-2.8 m |
| 65 inch (165 cm) | 170 cm | 2.5-3.2 m |
| 75 inch (190 cm) | 200 cm | 3.0-3.8 m |
- Ideal height: the center of the TV screen at eye level when seated — approx. 95-110 cm from the floor.
- Floating vs. freestanding: floating gives more floor space, freestanding more storage space. Floating requires a load-bearing wall (masonry or wooden studs).
What is the ideal TV height for a low TV cabinet?
A low Japandi TV cabinet is typically 30-45 cm high. Combine this with a large TV (55-75 inches) that you can optionally place on a swivel arm or wall mount above the cabinet, so the viewing height remains comfortable.
Which type of wood best suits Japandi?
Oak is the Scandinavian choice — light, warm, natural grain. Mango wood is the Asian variant — slightly darker and more robust in appearance. Both fit excellent with Japandi. Choose based on the rest of your interior.
Does a black TV cabinet also fit Japandi?
A completely black TV cabinet is less typical Japandi — that style embraces warmth. But a combination of dark wood or matte black metal with warm wood (like Rift Metal) works excellent as a contrast.
How wide should a Japandi TV cabinet be?
As a rule of thumb: the TV cabinet can be slightly wider than the TV — ideally 1.5 times the screen width. For a 55-inch TV (approx. 122 cm wide), a 160-180 cm cabinet is nicely proportioned.
