Wabi-Sabi

Wabi-Sabi is a Japanese philosophy translated into interior design, centered on imperfection, impermanence, and authenticity. Rather than polished perfection, it values natural aging, irregular forms, and subtle textures. Colors are muted and earthy: clay, stone, soft gray, warm white, and natural wood. Furniture is simple and often low, with visible grain, knots, or handmade qualities. Objects are few, chosen for meaning rather than decoration. Cracks, patina, and asymmetry are embraced rather than hidden. Lighting is soft and indirect, creating calm rather than brightness. Wabi-Sabi interiors feel quiet, grounded, and deeply human.
