5 WABI-SABI Teachings to Elevate Your Home | Our Top Interior Styling Tips

5 WABI-SABI Teachings to Elevate Your Home
Today we are sharing five wabi-sabi teachings that we hope will inspire you to create a home you love, no matter your design style.
Wabi-sabi is difficult to distil, as there is no direct translation, however in abstract terms this philosophy embraces an appreciation of impermanence, natural flaws, and the inherent beauty found in the passing of time.

Bonus Mindfulness Exercises:

The 5,4,3,2,1 Mindfulness exercise.
Sit quietly. Look around you and notice:
- 5 things you can see.
- 4 things you can physically feel.
- 3 things you can hear.
- 2 things you can smell.
- 1 thing you can taste.

Create a gratitude jar:
Each day write something you are grateful for or a highlight in your day on a piece of paper and put it in a mason jar or trinket box to revisit and a later date. This can form a visual representation that it is the small moments in life that bring joy, and these can create a ripple effect.

I 'm not japanese, however I do love this concept. It goes very deep and takes time to think and interiorize It, but It is worthy. Thank you for the video.

[monicascott]

I’m definitely the wabi sabi woman! But I do love all your videos😊

[margaretrosin]

I love your videos so much! It’s funny how I see a little of my decorating style in almost every video you’ve made. Wabi Sabi is definitely in areas of my living space, in the appreciation of natural materials and found objects from nature, as well as the lime washed walls. So beautiful and soothing.

I've just watched this SUPERBE video: it took me almost one hour to watch it 🤭, stopping every minute to learn those wise tips, and appreciate every single take (and printing it for a new album) and ...So glad to find out that our HOME is full of WABI SABI founds (I've just mended a very old AUBUSSON PILLOW that I've got from a great friend with pieces of an old english linen fabric, and ...it's fabulous 👌!!!) I do also KINTSUGI all the time, and...also so happy to find out that all my huge abstract paintings with oxidate fabric collages are totally WABI SABI !! Thank you very much for this superbe CLASS, glad to share w/ my 🎨 artist friends !!

This is the most thorough and enjoyable presentation of wabi sabi I have ever seen. I really feel that I understand what wabi sabi is - Now it makes sense. I feel that I have absorbed so much knowledge and your calm voice is therapeutic.
