Seattle style: Pacific Northwest modern and Japandi

Seattle design responds to gray light and wet climate: warm wood, large windows, natural texture and a clutter-free plan. Japandi, the Japanese-Scandinavian blend, is widely used locally and often paired with Northwest craft.

Work by Seattle designers first, then the styles Seattle draws from.
