Wabi-sabi is intimately tied to Zen Buddhism and the Japanese Way of Tea.
It's a subtle spiritual philosophy that sees home as a sanctuary; a simple place devoid of clutter, disturbance and distraction.
Wabi-sabi is a casual and frugal decorating style.
Nothing is new and everything has a story and a reason for being in the home.
Everything in the home presents an opportunity to see beauty, because beauty is ordinary.
It's slow and uncluttered, and regards authenticity above all.
Wabi-sabi finds beauty in imperfection and profundity in nature, which accepts the cycle of growth, decay and death.
Wabi-sabi respects age and celebrates humans over machines.
It reminds us that we are transient beings; that our bodies and material world around us are in the process of returning to the dust from which we came.
