Incorporate asymmetry

Following with the theme of bringing everything back to nature, wabi sabi style is all about asymmetric and imperfect shapes. In nature, it’s rare to see something that is perfectly symmetric and balanced. Trees don’t generally grow in perfectly straight lines and flowers don’t all look the same. To achieve a wabi sabi style, your furniture and homeware pieces must reflect this. This can be done by including pieces that have movement, such as a curved shape coffee table, pieces that aren’t straight-edged, and things that have a rustic and organic feel to them. The notion of asymmetry doesn’t just refer to your actual furniture and homewares, but it also flows through to the way your interior is configured and your homes overall mood. The way you could do this is by offsetting your furniture so you have an armchair that is offset or including a nest of coffee tables that are of different shapes and sizes. Wabi sabi interiors have an effortless and serene aesthetic. They evoke an emotional and personal connection. I’m sure we all have been in a home where everything is perfectly placed, and you feel as if you can’t sit on the lounge suit in fear of ruining the fabric. Well, wabi sabi interiors are the opposite to this. They are inviting, lived in, timeless, and full of character.
