Japandi and Wabi-Sabi: The Future of Modern Interiors
At Royal Touch, we translate these philosophies into tactile wall finishes using lime plaster, decorative textures, and microtopping. Perfect for architects and interior designers seeking authenticity, restraint, and craftsmanship.
Where Minimalism Meets Texture
The design world is shifting. Clean lines, muted tones, and natural textures are no longer just trends—they’re becoming the backbone of refined, intentional spaces. Two philosophies are leading the charge: Japandi and Wabi-Sabi. At Royal Touch, we bring them to life through lime plaster, decorative wall textures, and microtopping solutions—executed with precision across India.
Japandi merges Scandinavian warmth with Japanese minimalism. Wabi-Sabi embraces imperfection and nature’s raw essence. Together, they prioritize honest materials, natural texture, and serene palettes—qualities that define our wall finishes.
The Role of Wall Finishes in Japandi and Wabi-Sabi Design
Lime Plaster: Earthy Elegance That Breathes
Nothing captures the calm, tactile beauty of Wabi-Sabi like lime plaster. It’s breathable, antibacterial, and ages with grace—changing subtly over time, just like the spaces it inhabits.
Soft matte textures
Natural tonal variations
Hand-applied layers that bring depth without noise
Perfect for bedrooms, lobbies, retail, or hospitality spaces craving a quiet but confident finish. Explore our Lime Plaster Projects here.
Decorative Wall Textures: Subtle Drama
Japandi interiors thrive on balance—clean structure offset by natural texture. Our decorative wall textures are designed for this contrast. Think raw meets refined.
Custom finishes ranging from smooth stone to weathered clay
Tone-on-tone layering for a minimalist yet warm feel
Ideal for feature walls, art galleries, or wellness spaces
Each surface tells a story—crafted, not coated.
Microtopping: Seamless, Minimal, Modern
Microtopping delivers a sleek, monolithic finish with an artisan’s touch. With just 2-3mm thickness, it’s ideal for walls, floors, and even furniture.
Neutral palettes align perfectly with Japandi
Imperfect hand-troweled surfaces channel Wabi-Sabi’s soul
Durable, low-maintenance, and strikingly contemporary
Use it where form meets function—bathrooms, kitchens, studio walls, or open-plan commercial interiors.
