The Value & The Costs of
Wabi Sabi
The Value
If cultivating a mindful lifestyle and prioritizing sustainability is important to you, you might want to consider incorporating wabi-sabi elements into your custom modern home. Wabi sabi, a Japanese aesthetic philosophy, is centered around the acceptance of imperfection, impermanence, and the beauty of the natural world. It encourages appreciation of the present moment and finding beauty in the ordinary and the imperfect. It can manifest itself in spaces by the use of natural materials, earthy colors, imperfect beauty (e.g., displaying patina and items with irregular shapes), minimalism, and emphasis on negative space.
The Costs
Since there isn’t just one way to incorporate wabi-sabi into a space, the amount you have to budget will range depending on your preferences and needs. Ask yourself which elements of wabi-sabi you’d like to see in your home. Would you like to select furniture and finishes made of natural materials that will age gracefully and patina over time? Would you like to incorporate special handcrafted items, such as hand-thrown pottery, woven textiles, or hand-carved wooden objects as decorative elements? Your choices and the scope of the work will all affect the final costs associated with integrating wabi-sabi into your custom modern home.
