Wabi Sabi

Here is how to incorporate Wabi Sabi principles into your everyday life –

• Live in your entire home – use all the beds, all the chairs, enough natural light and space for pets. Also pay attention to having quiet time that is not constantly interrupted by some electronic noise or voice, ringing, jangling, whirring and so on.

• Clearing clutter is central to wabi-sabi so make yourself a rule – for every item you buy, get rid of another you already have. If you cannot bear to part with something, store it elsewhere, but clear it from your immediate environment so that clutter is reduced.

• Appreciate imperfections too. There is beauty in asymmetry, in old things, in weather-beaten items, which nevertheless posses great character! Shop at flea markets, get interesting things into the home, things may be imperfect but never messy, dirty or slovenly.

• Live the wabi sabi way; give your home some soul!
