Achieving A Wabi Sabi Home
Featured above is the Blanca Vessel. The profound significance of our home lies in the objects that connect with our souls and shape our lives in unimaginable ways. Every piece, new and old, tells a story that is bridged to our very own, yet solitary in its own right. When designing a space, it is often essential to discover what elements we are drawn towards and how these characteristics speak to us. Reflect upon the intricate details and craftsmanship that is carefully brought to fruition by artisan hands. Of the many design styles to choose from, there are none quite like the Wabi Sabi aesthetic, a trend that has continuously gained favor over the past year. Cherishing the beauty within the imperfections, focusing on the raw, organic feel they bring into your home, is the beautiful philosophy Wabi Sabi is known for. This way of life focuses on allowing objects to speak for themselves in an authentic way, creating a space that is simple, yet elevated, and one-of-a-kind. Each object has its own purpose to be fulfilled, yet comes together in ideal harmony for a space that feels grounded and at peace. These key concepts resonate with us here at Bellari Home, as we feel that your home is more than a place to live, it is a lifestyle, a safe space and an ode to your being. As we continue to explore the ways to achieve a Wabi Sabi home, we invite you to get inspired and reflect on how this trend and philosophy can be the right fit for you. Follow along to learn more about the adored Wabi Sabi interior design style. What Is Wabi Sabi? Featured is the Sentiment Ravena Vessel. Wabi Sabi Style embraces the Japanese philosophy that nothing is perfect, finished or permanent, inviting you to live a more authentic, meaningful and fulfilling life. "Wabi-sabi" is a Japanese term that indicates a focus on finding beauty within life's flaws. Wabi translates to the beauty found among irregular or unbalanced things, while sabi means to accept the beauty of things that age. Together, this philosophy centers around the fleeting balance and understanding that all things are perfectly imperfect. The Seven Principles Of Wabi Sabi Featured above is the Livella Dining Table, Ferra Lily Candle Holder, and Terra Vessel. To truly grasp the significance of Wabi Sabi design in the realm of interior design, we must explore its seven fundamental philosophies. These principles seamlessly intertwine, shaping an informed outlook on this unique way of life. Fukinsei: Asymmetry Embracing the unpredictability and impermanence of life, emphasizing the importance of spontaneity and irregularity. Kanso: Simplicity Invites you to declutter your mind and simplify your life by focusing on the essentials. Shibumi: Beauty In The Understated Acknowledges finding the beauty within objects that are often overlooked or unseen. There is beauty in many simple and humble things in life. Shizen: Naturalness Highlights the importance and value of being in harmony with nature and appreciate our surroundings. Yugen: Profound Sense Of Mystery Find the beauty within the unknown and explore the many dimensions of life. Datsuzoku: Freedom From Habits Encourages individuals to break free from societal norms, daily routines and the ordinary, and to embrace their own unique qualities and the freedom from the conventional. Seijaku: Tranquility Seek the solidarity and stillness occurring within our chaotic lives. Ways To Incorporate Wabi Sabi Into Your Home Featured is the Luna Vessel, Goddess Sculpture, and Column Fluted Side Table. When it comes to Wabi Sabi home decor, elements that are prominent within this style tend to be neutral color palettes, one-of-a kind and earthy objects that age gracefully, and various textured, natural materials. The interconnectedness between these fundamentals is the result of allowing nature to take precedence in the home. Allow us to tap into the specifics of incorporating Wabi Sabi into your home decor. Natural Elements In a Wabi Sabi home, the allure of natural materials is undeniable. Wood, natural stone, and ceramics are prominent within this style, adding a touch of charm and softness with their earthly textures. You'll find this in coffee tables, sofas, home accessories like vases or sculptures, and lighting fixtures, just to name a few. The beauty lies in their ability to age gracefully and be appreciated for their weathered appearance. Each unrefined and imperfect piece will bring a sense of serenity and balance. When it comes to adding plants into your space, look for large, dried branches and statement florals or trees to be showcased in textural pots and vessels. Organic Color Palettes In the midst of deciding on which colors to implement into your home, take a look at the hues that are common within nature. Often this includes neutral palettes such as browns, greys, taupes, whites and creams. In a Wabi Sabi home, these are the sole colors that tend to be focused on throughout the entirety of the space. These colors evoke a sense of calmness and create a connection with nature, which is a crucial aspect of the Wabi Sabi philosophy. However, you should avoid using any bright, bold colors or overly saturated hues, as they tend to distract from the overall sense of tranquility. It is great to keep in mind how these colors appear when natural light is gracing them. A Wabi Sabi home tends to embrace the quality and warmth of natural light, therefore, you'll want to assure the colors chosen reflect the light in a graceful way. Raw, Curved Edges As mentioned, it is essential to embrace imperfection in all facets of life, as this is how we discover true authenticity. Curved objects evoke a sense of unpredictability and movement that contrasts with the static and angular line work often seen within modern design. When it comes to decor, Wabi Sabi draws inspiration from nature, appealing to the inherent beauty of natural shapes often found in our surroundings. Furniture with organic lines, sculptures with asymmetrical forms, and objects with raw, curved edges exemplify the essence of Wabi Sabi design. Avoid adding in objects that feel too polished or "perfect" in essence as this delineates from the organic feeling. Vintage & Vintage-Inspired Objects Whether old or new, objects that have a vintage feeling are a vital focal point in a Wabi Sabi home. These objects are more than simple decorations, but are a reflection of the philosophy of Wabi Sabi that celebrates the beauty of the imperfect, the impermanent and the incomplete. The organic and unique nature of vintage artifacts, and those that are inspired, provide an authentic look and feeling. Weathered bowls, textured vases, earthy coffee or side tables, and rigid paintings are all pieces that will add personal touches and a rustic, handmade feeling to your space. Incorporating vintage-inspired objects into your home not only provides aesthetic but also imbues the space with a sense of nostalgia and emotional connection. They serve as a reminder of the timeless beauty that lies in the impermanence of life and the fleeting nature of all things. Lots of Textures Textures are not only visually pleasing, but they also awaken our sense of touch. When you add varying textures to your space, you are creating depth, dimension, and visual intrigue. Along with the use of natural materials, such as wood, stone and ceramics, common textiles used in a Wabi Sabi space include linen, cotton, and wool. Maintaining Simplicity The concept of "less is more" is highlighted within Wabi Sabi interior design. Maintaining a simplistic approach to decorating is essential when styling your home. Focus on the pieces that are absolutely necessary for your space, ridding of any items you no longer need, or those that are not fulfilling their purpose any longer. This will provide a sense of clarity not only in your home, but within your daily life as well - a key philosophy in Wabi Sabi. Allow The Imperfections To Take The Stage Of the many ways to incorporate Wabi Sabi into your home, this can be a simple, impactful approach to this way of life. Allow the "flaws" of your space to be apart of your design style. The scratches on your coffee table, the cracks upon a vase, or the weathered look of your flooring all embrace the organic beauty common to the Wabi Sabi philosophy, while also inviting depth and history into your home. Featured above is the Tuscani Travertine Console Table and the Sorento Sculpture. Wabi Sabi teaches us to find beauty in even the most mundane areas of our lives or the imperfections within the world. Appreciating the small and subtle beauty within everyday things, allowing us to live our life to the fullest, in an authentic way. It's a positive shift in our mindset, offering us a chance to break free from the conventional, enabling us to embrace the beauty of imperfection and value the smallest details that create the greatest impact. When designing your Wabi Sabi space, it is essential to embrace natural and raw materials, neutral tones and hues, and organic silhouettes and textures. These elements hold great value and help create a tranquil atmosphere that aligns with the Wabi Sabi philosophy. A Wabi Sabi home is a powerful reminder of the impermanence of all things and the everlasting beauty of nature's fleeting moments. If you find yourself connected and inspired by the philosophy of Wabi Sabi, we offer you a chance to explore our collections, inspired by the timelessness, effortlessness, and beauty found in nature. Through our pieces, we provide a sense of nostalgia and an admiration of your surroundings. We were mentioned as a Wabi-Sabi design expert on the Redfin blog!

These Textures Are The Most Stylish To Have In Your Home
When decorating a home, we often ask ourselves "what elements should be our key focus to making our space really feel like a cohesive home?" And to answer this, we are here to tell you that while each part plays a role in forming your home into a haven you enjoy for its function, comfort and appeal, creating balance, interest and an overall ambiance is essential to fully achieve a space that feels as charming as it appears. And what is the best way to go about this? A simple answer – by incorporating varying textures into your design. Our surroundings are a strong influence on our emotions, especially one's that we are consistently existing within. Colors, patterns and textures affect our moods with their ability to entice our senses. Styling a space with textural home decor makes for an environment that is warm and dimensional, and is a great way to assure your home is complete in every aspect. If you're wondering how and why you should add texture into your home, follow along, as we breakdown what to expect and what you will gain when adding various textures into your space, as well as which textures are the most stylish to have in your home. Why You Should Add Texture To Your Living Space As mentioned, the way our home is adorned can often alter the way we feel, specifically as a result of what elements are prevalent within our space. Texture is quite an important feature to implement into your design plan, as it can further provoke particular emotions within a room and take the look of an entire space to elevated heights. It not only changes the way a room feels, but alters how it visually appears, inviting a sense of comfort and multi-dimension. For example, layering wood and terracotta together can incite a rustic and earthy touch, that generates a relaxing and cozy aura, benefiting your emotions in positive ways. When it comes to designing a home, often times texture can be overlooked, as other elements like wall colors and color palettes tend to be the main focus, since they involve tremendous decision making. However, designing your home and layering with copious textures, whether that be with a throw rug, accessories or furniture, is essential to bringing new life and character to the room, and to avoid the space seeming dull or flat. Deciding which textures can be immense, as there are so many options to choose from, fortunately, we have narrowed a few of the trendiest to feature within your home. Which Textures Are Trending Within Interior Design? Personalizing your decor is an individual journey, as you want to fuse your interests and identity into your aesthetic. You may want to locate pieces that are aligned with your home decor goals or choose objects that fill a specific purpose within your space. While this may be the case, it can also be a helpful head start to designate what textures are the most prominent and trending within interior design. With countless textures and textiles circling within the design world, a few standout when it comes to applying visual texture into your home, including travertine, marble, wood, and boucle, as they create depth, warmth and focal interest, and can easily be found in a variety of decor options. Follow along as we ponder these favored elements to include in your space. Let's Talk Travertine So, what is travertine? While we have dived deep into the trend of travertine, we'd like to break down a few key attributes as to why this material is here to stay. Travertine is a type of natural limestone, formed by mineral deposits made from hot springs. Typically, it is found in rusty-brown, cream and tan hues with a fibrous or porous appearance. The appeal of travertine is its subtle earthy-tones and soft speckled texture, as well as its ability to be long-lasting and resilient to extreme damage and strong weather conditions. As travertine ascends in popularity, it can be found in tremendous and minuscule designs, such as kitchen or bathroom flooring or modern coffee tables and accent pieces. Whichever form travertine takes, it invites a rigid, yet elegant touch of texture in a way that is not as traditional as marble or granite. Marble Is A Must Let's uncover everything about marble! Marble is a metamorphic rock that is the result of the metamorphosis of many rocks undergoing various pressure and heat changes, including calcite, limestone, dolomite and serpentine. These metamorphic changes creates a significant appearance of distinct veining and rich pockets of contrasting hues. It is well sought-after, as marble has the ability to enhance a space with timeless luxury and has durability unlike many other materials. Known for its classic look of white and grey, marble can also be found in non-traditional, vibrant colors that will add an eccentric pop of color to your home. Since marble is profoundly and inherently luxurious and textural, styling a space with marble comes easy, as it has the ability to transform the room in the blink of an eye. See our Elevated Collection and Livella Marble Collection to find those special pieces to enhance your home. Wondering About Wood? From oak and mahogany to redwood and cedar, wood is a material that is commonly featured in many homes as it never goes out of style. With a substantial shift towards adding organic elements inspired by Nature within the home, also known as Biophilic design, and maintaining a down-to-earth atmosphere, wood furnishings are often sustainably crafted pieces that can easily exist within any abode and have consistently remained relevant over time. Versatility and resilience are key features that surround the significance of decorating with wood decor, since it can be located in a variety of shades, tints, and styles, and is long-lasting and needs hardly any aftercare or maintenance. Wood tends to carry more visual weight among other elements and generates a more rustic and organic feeling, mainly due to the variations of wood that can be found throughout Nature. Bring A Touch Of Boucle Stemming from the French term "boucle" meaning to "loop" or "curl", boucle fabric is the result of looped yarn, also known as boucle yarn, being woven into a single fabric. The fabric is produced from looped yarn of at least two strands, being spiraled together to create a loose yarn effect, appearing rugged and fleece-like. Boucle fabric is notably known to be crafted from wool, however, it now exists in an assortment of forms such as linen, silk, polyester, and cotton. From afar, boucle constructs a harmonious texture that is gentle on the eyes, and up close, has a unique looped quality that is soft to the touch. Boucle, well-known for its ivory and cream color scheme and durable qualities, is an instant and effortless way to add texture into a space, functioning well within any decor style. Due to the adaptability of boucle fabric, you can find this brilliant textile in a surplus of forms, from sofas and accent chairs to pillows and throws. Textured furniture specifically is on the rise, as it is often the first item you see upon entering a room and provides immediate depth to the space, so adding a boucle sofa or accent chair is the most common way this fabric is seen throughout homes. Subtle Ways To Add Texture Committing to major decor pieces, like furniture and rugs, may not of interest to you at the current moment, however this doesn't necessarily mean that you cannot add textural elements to your space in an impactful and easy way. Statement objects like coffee tables and sofas inspire an eye-catching focal point, but sourcing pieces that incorporate your preferred materials are just as beneficial, as they can be easily moved around your home and will be purposeful within any room. Candle holders crafted from luxurious marble or vases sculpted with terracotta can assist in creating the eye-catching depth you are aiming for. Intricate details make a difference when it comes to adding texture, so try not to exclude embracing texture within your accent pieces. With this in mind, experience the beauty of artful objects with our range of textured elements to include in your home. Texture's ability to transform a space from ordinary to extraordinary is reasoning as to why it is essential to apply specific elements to your home. When we have the opportunity to reflect on particular shapes and structures, we are transcended to a place that offers excitement and intrigue, as well as comfort and tranquility. A fundamental idea to keep on top of mind while layering various textures and textiles is to stray from going overboard when mixing different materials. Try to decorate with 2 to 3 different textures within your home, as too much texture can appear overwhelming and evade from the balance you are looking for. With styling a home comes many lessons of trial and error, but here at Bellari Home, we aim to provide you with insight on the upcoming trends to help inspire you to make the best decisions for you and your home.
