Perhaps you have never heard of the Wabi Sabi style (or yes), in any case it is one of the most acclaimed trends in the world of decoration and interior design. It is a very special and peculiar style with which you may feel more identified than you think.
Below we will show you the keys to this style...what it is, what materials it uses, color palette, textiles and much more. Keep reading to discover this decoration style.
What is it?
The Wabi Sabi style has as its philosophy the appreciation of the beauty of all those things that are imperfect, worn, aged by the passage of time, etc. Appreciates authenticity and rejects the search for perfection and the meaning of the new and intact. Instead of polished and flawless spaces, Wabi Sabi teaches us how to incorporate elements that have character, traces of use and an undoubted connection with nature.
Colors and Materials
In our studio, before thinking about a specific style of decoration to carry out our projects, we always think about materials and qualities so that the spaces are functional and durable. In this style there are many natural materials with the imperfections that nature provides us with, such as grains of wood, imperfections of natural stones, etc. At Wabi Sabi we usually see handmade ceramics, marble, natural wood and organic textures.
As for the color palette of the Wabi Sabi style, we can find soft tones, earthy browns, neutral grays and worn whites. Overall, this is a very relaxed and pleasant color palette.
Present Minimalism
This peculiar style has a strong connection with the minimalism style but it is not a cold and empty minimalism. Minimalism in this style tries to simplify with purpose, eliminating all unnecessary elements to make room for the true essence of the objects. A single ceramic vase on a table or a subtle paper lamp can become focal points that tell stories and capture the essence of Wabi Sabi.
Connection with Nature
In a world where chasing perfection is the most common thing, the Wabi Sabi style goes against the current. This style invites us to find beauty in the imperfections of nature. This connection between style and nature is an essential part of Wabi Sabi.
Integrate natural elements such as plants, stones and untreated wood to create a harmonious and aesthetic balance in the space. Additionally, these pieces will help elevate the feeling of tranquility and serenity in your spaces.
Whatever style you identify with, let yourself be carried away by this philosophy whether it be the colors, the materials, the connection of nature or the concept of imperfection. Finding beauty in the imperfect can be very interesting when decorating your home. Escape from perfection and symmetry and experiment with the Wabi Sabi style.
