Style 02 of 9

Wabi-sabi interior design.

Wabi-sabi finds beauty in things that are imperfect, worn and unfinished. Rooms are low and grounded, walls are limewashed rather than painted flat, and surfaces are stone, raw timber and heavy linen. Colour stays in the earth range, light is warm and dim, and the few objects in the room look made by hand.
