PERFECTLY IMPERFECT DESIGN TRENDS TO BRING PEACE TO YOUR SPACE

PERFECTLY IMPERFECT DESIGN TRENDS TO BRING PEACE TO YOUR SPACE
Share

Why wabi-sabi and kintsugi may be key to unlocking your design flow.

– KEYS SOULCARE

Nowadays, our homes are the backdrop of every facet of our lives: They’re our offices, gyms, go-to restaurants… you get the picture. But, at the end of the day, our homes are our happy places; our little slice of solace in this crazy world. So, shouldn’t they make us feel good, too?

We’re constantly looking for ways to bring those sanctuary vibes to our spaces. Two trends that we can’t stop thinking about? Wabi-sabi and kintsugi — two distinct design philosophies that elevate the ideas of rethinking imperfection, timelessness, and peace.

Want your space to reflect your perfectly imperfect self? We’re breaking down these two popular design fads.

Wabi-sabi

Rooted in traditional Japanese aesthetics and Buddhism, wabi-sabi celebrates the imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete nature of life. Asymmetry, natural wear, and a deep appreciation for the quirks of the here and now (rather than “picture perfect”) are among its design touchpoints.

Keep Exploring & Stay Inspired…

Read: Wabi-Sabi for Artists, Designers, Poets & Philosophers. The serene cover art, design, and historical knowledge bring wabi-sabi to life in super accessible ways.

Explore: This gorgeous Dwell Magazine wabi-sabi photo essay gives us an excuse to daydream about travel and design projects to come.

Kintsugi

There’s a reason why kintsugi is considered the art of Japanese joinery. This trend uses cracks and chips sealed with gold or other precious metal, emphasizing the importance of picking up the pieces after life’s biggest falls. After all, there’s nothing like a comeback story.
