Posted by SJ on Feb 25th 2021

Do you know what Wabi Sabi is?. Let's find out a little about this principle of Interior Design.

Traditional Japanese design is rising up these days, and Wabi Sabi is one of its most cherished principles. Actually you may create almost your entire your home design by following this principle only, as we will see.

Back to the basics could resume very well the meaning of this principle. Wabi Sabi means finding beauty in imperfection. Each word has a complementary meaning. While Wabi means Being one with nature with humility, Sabi means Accept the imperfections of nature just like they are.

This principle in Interior Design can be seen as make your self one with nature, with humilty giving to your place a natural environment, with a thoughtful decluttering and the love for a conscious minimalist surrounding. Instead of looking for the latest furniture novelty, it mans to accept your current elements and use them wisely. This is call authenticity. Let's see how it works:

Cherish artisanally and homemade furniture, looking for originality

A thoughtful declutter is essential for a better living, so, we have to learn to live with less in a highly organized place, in a simple way

Don't look for perfection. The search for a perfect room is useless. At some point you should stop and enjoy your place even if some piece mismatch with the rest of elements

Feel the kindness of nature indoors. Get wood furniture , plants and nature elements inside your home. The nature textures, with their perfections or imperfections are always welcomed

Do you find that the Barcelona Chair could make it in a Wabi Sabi place? No doubt about it. Its sleeker and sober design fits perfect.
