We see Japandi Supply House as a vehicle for us to help others (and the planet) heal. It’s a HUGE idea. It’s an IMPACTFUL idea.

Three Business Owners Burned Out. Then They Found the Drive to Try Something New.
“When COVID hit, it made us pause and take another look, because our services were the first to go [for clients],” says Emily Bishop.
To busy herself, she found joy and serenity in design projects around their house. “I was trying to create a more peaceful bedroom retreat so we had a calm space to sleep and wake up during those high-stress days of COVID,” she says. In particular, she fell in love with a concept called Japandi, which is a hybrid of Japanese minimalism and cozy Scandinavian design. It inspired her to declutter their home and fill it home with neutral colors, natural materials, and lots of plants.
