Elements of Wabi Sabi Style



The term ?wabi sabi? has no direct English translation, rather it?s a Japanese aesthetic rooted in tradition. The word ‘wabi’ refers to harmony and tranquility while ?sabi? loosely translates to beauty achieved over time.
The design philosophy reflects nature?s colors and textures and honors the beauty of imperfection. Modesty, simplicity, and handmade are prioritized, whereas anything excessive, artificial, or saturated in hue is avoided.
Wabi sabi is aligned with sustainability in its principles to reuse, recycle, or repair instead of replace. The design style shares the comfort of hygge with the minimalism found in japandi design as well as the use of natural colors and textures in bohemian style.
How does one achieve the wabi sabi aesthetic" In these seven ways: 1. Simplicity
Conscious editing and removal of anything unnecessary creates a sense of calm that arises from an uncluttered space. Quality is valued over quantity.

2. Earth tones and muted colors
The wabi sabi palette is soft, warm, and harmonious with nature. Color is welcome if muted, think of olive or sage seen in landscapes, various browns tones found in wood, or the soft pinks of a sunrise.
