Wabi Sabi is a Japanese expression that refers to the ancient art of recognising and celebrating the beauty in the naturally imperfect world and objects.
While Wabi Sabi is more of a way of life, it also translates into design with a strong focus on asymmetry, simplicity, imperfection and a great respect for natural objects and processes. Think handmade ceramics, timeworn treasures and carefully crafted furniture that serves a purpose.
“From Wabi-Sabi ceramics to ornate wallpapers and lanterns, the Japanese-inspired interiors trend is stunning in all its forms. To work the look at home, incorporate just one or two elements,” says real living style editor Kerrie-ann Jones.
