The Wabi-Sabi style featured in this mood board originated in Japan. Wabi-Sabi is a Japanese term that essentially means finding beauty in imperfection. This design style disregards absolute symmetry, and the need for perfection in everything. The Wabi-Sabi cultivates all that is authentic by recognizing three simple realities: nothing lasts, nothing is complete and nothing is perfect.
This style embraces authenticity and promotes an overall sense of peace and tranquility using simplicity. This mood board features the vital element harmonious with the wabi–sabi style which embraces artisanal and homemade décor, highly organized and clutter – free spaces, organic materials and elements found in nature like plants, wood and stone. The neutral color palette of white and earth-tone reflects the charming simplicity of nature. A neutral-painted room will provide you with a calm spaciousness that will show off your other decorative wabi-sabi décor.
Features of the wabi-sabi aesthetics and principles include asymmetry, simplicity, economy, modesty, intimacy, and the appreciation of both natural objects and the forces of nature. The pendant light is a good option because it fits in perfectly with the warm earth tones that are key elements in a wabi-sabi interior design style.
Wabi-sabi is a reminder to appreciate our homes and the items we surround ourselves with that tells a story. This mood board features clean lines and utilizes imperfect natural materials such as wood, stone, and a palette of muted natural colors. It incorporate elements that embodies impermanence, imperfection, and incompleteness in its design
