Offering an antidote to a throw-away society, Wabi-sabi takes pleasure in the rustic, slightly broken and modest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you constantly feel pressured to update your home and keep buying new things only to, before you know it, end up falling out of love with them? Instead of following the latest fashions and pursuing what appears to be trendy at the time, Wabi-sabi encourages us to show love and gratitude for what we already have. By embracing Wabi-sabi in our homes we are saying <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to the mass-produced and disposable while honoring the authentic and individual.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you are a fan of the Japanese aesthetic or not, if these ideals resonate with you take note that Wabi-sabi is not just a way of styling, but a way of life. Yes, it can be manifested in the way we decorate, but there are numerous ways you could go about it to compliment your personal style and your budget.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-87607\" src=\"https:\/\/vinterioruk.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Mix-rarefatto.jpg\" alt=\"Wabi Sabi: How to create a perfectly imperfect home - Vinterior\" width=\"800\" height=\"623\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Image source: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.axel-vervoordt.com\/books\/wabi-inspirations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Axel Vervoordt<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-87600\" src=\"https:\/\/vinterioruk.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/japanese-natural-wood-sculpture-c-1990s_0.jpg\" alt=\"Wabi Sabi: How to create a perfectly imperfect home - Vinterior\" width=\"2304\" height=\"2304\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Japanese Natural Wood Sculpture (C. 1990s)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-87602\" src=\"https:\/\/vinterioruk.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/large-rustic-eastern-brass-jug_0.jpg\" alt=\"Wabi Sabi: How to create a perfectly imperfect home - Vinterior\" width=\"1067\" height=\"1600\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Large Rustic Eastern Brass Jug<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-87611\" src=\"https:\/\/vinterioruk.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/pair-of-vintage-japanese-kokeshi-dolls-1950s_0.jpg\" alt=\"Wabi Sabi: How to create a perfectly imperfect home - Vinterior\" width=\"2992\" height=\"2992\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Pair Of Vintage Japanese Kokeshi Dolls 1950s<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>A short guide to Wabi-sabi\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-87612\" src=\"https:\/\/vinterioruk.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/PaulinaArcklin-Paulina-Arcklin-Loft-6042.jpg\" alt=\"Wabi Sabi: How to create a perfectly imperfect home - Vinterior\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1498\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Image source: <\/span>Paula Arcklin<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The humbling mindset of Wabi-sabi comes from the ancient Japanese philosophy about making peace with our imperfect, temporary and unheroic nature. Deeply rooted in Buddhism, Wabi-sabi can be traced back to the 16th-century Japanese tea ceremonies. Focused on finding beauty and calm in the handmade, irregular and crooked, these modest tea ceremonies used well-loved utensils and simple rituals as symbols of wisdom and acceptance of the natural flow of life (and decay).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The greatest lesson to take from Wabi-sabi is that peace and satisfaction can be found in humble moments. Changing our perception of the world, Wabi-sabi navigates us through a more meaningful life and experiences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To create a happy home you don\u2019t need to reach for shiny boxed furniture, but rather learn to appreciate what\u2019s in front you, with all its flaws and signs of wear.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-87601\" src=\"https:\/\/vinterioruk.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/large-raku-bowl-japan_0.jpg\" alt=\"Wabi Sabi: How to create a perfectly imperfect home - Vinterior\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1600\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Large Raku Bowl<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-87603\" src=\"https:\/\/vinterioruk.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/lovely-antique-french-country-farmhouse-painted-kitchen-dining-table_0.jpg\" alt=\"Wabi Sabi: How to create a perfectly imperfect home - Vinterior\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1800\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Beautiful Antique Farm House Elm Wood Dining Table Kitchen Distressed Rustic<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-87608\" src=\"https:\/\/vinterioruk.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/narrow-armoire-in-distressed-finish_0.jpg\" alt=\"Wabi Sabi: How to create a perfectly imperfect home - Vinterior\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Narrow Armoire In Distressed Finish<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are ten simple design principles for creating a Wabi-sabi home.<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n<h2><b>1. Signs of wear are not to be hidden<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wabi-sabi is about allowing items to age gracefully and then proudly presenting the signs of their loving use. By favouring higher-quality possessions over constantly seeking the new, you will surround yourself with a handful of items that will only look better as time goes by.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, this doesn\u2019t mean that only what\u2019s bearing the marks of age should be praised. Wabi-sabi finds admiration for all stages of life. If it\u2019s honest and well-made, any piece with character will perfectly fit the Wabi-sabi concept.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-87615\" src=\"https:\/\/vinterioruk.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/rustic-mechanics-shop-counter-sideboard-dresser-pigeon-hole-storage_0.jpg\" alt=\"Wabi Sabi: How to create a perfectly imperfect home - Vinterior\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Rustic Mechanics Shop Counter Sideboard Dresser Pigeon Hole Storage<\/p>\n<h2><b>2. Opt for honest materials<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When selecting materials for your home always think raw, organic and natural. Typical Wabi-sabi choices include wood, concrete, stone, clay, marble, glass, rattan, metal, wool, leather and linen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay away from plastics and mass-produced pieces from the high street as they won\u2019t age well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-87596\" src=\"https:\/\/vinterioruk.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/est-living-seaside-abode-norm-architects-5.jpg\" alt=\"Wabi Sabi: How to create a perfectly imperfect home - Vinterior\" width=\"1500\" height=\"2000\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Image source: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.estliving.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">EST Living<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>3.
