""Wabi-sabi is less about the specific style and more about a mindset," says Asha Winn, principal designer and founder of California-based Studio Asha. "[It's] about creating spaces that feel grounded, real, tactile, and lived in. And it's not about perfection more than it is about the simplicity and letting natural materials and the little imperfections of those materials bring character and soul to the home.""
"But if you're more inclined to create a space that's meant for actual living, then you'll love wabi-sabi, the Japanese philosophy of embracing simplicity and finding beauty in life's imperfections. While some Pinterest-worthy interiors feature polished surfaces, carefully curated gallery walls, and quaffed throw pillows, wabi-sabi is all about creating casual and comfortable spaces that are better suited for everyday living. It's all about softer curves, weathered edges, and natural textures in muted, earthy color palettes."
Wabi-sabi is a Japanese philosophy that embraces simplicity and finds beauty in imperfection. The approach favors casual, comfortable, lived-in spaces over highly polished interiors. Key features include softer curves, weathered edges, natural textures, and muted earthy color palettes. The mindset prioritizes natural materials and the small flaws of those materials to add character and soul to a home. A focus on the beauty of aging and repair elevates broken or worn pieces as worthy and meaningful. Wabi-sabi principles can integrate with many aesthetics and encourage practical, tactile, and grounded environments.
