5 WABI-SABI Teachings to Elevate Your Home
Today we are sharing five wabi-sabi teachings that we hope will inspire you to create a home you love, no matter your design style.
Wabi-sabi is difficult to distil, as there is no direct translation, however in abstract terms this philosophy embraces an appreciation of impermanence, natural flaws, and the inherent beauty found in the passing of time.
Bonus Mindfulness Exercises:
The 5,4,3,2,1 Mindfulness exercise.
Sit quietly. Look around you and notice:
- 5 things you can see.
- 4 things you can physically feel.
- 3 things you can hear.
- 2 things you can smell.
- 1 thing you can taste.
Create a gratitude jar:
Each day write something you are grateful for or a highlight in your day on a piece of paper and put it in a mason jar or trinket box to revisit and a later date. This can form a visual representation that it is the small moments in life that bring joy, and these can create a ripple effect.

I 'm not japanese, however I do love this concept. It goes very deep and takes time to think and interiorize It, but It is worthy. Thank you for the video.
Well said! It does take time and conscious placement and curation. Glad you enjoyed this and appreciate the style. Suzie x
I’m definitely the wabi sabi woman! But I do love all your videos😊
Thanks Monica, I appreciate your support. Have a beautiful week. Suzie x
I love your videos so much! It’s funny how I see a little of my decorating style in almost every video you’ve made. Wabi Sabi is definitely in areas of my living space, in the appreciation of natural materials and found objects from nature, as well as the lime washed walls. So beautiful and soothing.
Hello Margaret, so lovely to read that you find a little of your decorating style in each video! That is great to hear as we definitely do put our little twist on it when it comes to selecting the photos and sharing our own. I too enjoy the look of the lime washed walls. Have a great weekend xx
Thank you, it was a really beautifully made video about wabi-sabi :)
I've just watched this SUPERBE video: it took me almost one hour to watch it 🤭, stopping every minute to learn those wise tips, and appreciate every single take (and printing it for a new album) and ...So glad to find out that our HOME is full of WABI SABI founds (I've just mended a very old AUBUSSON PILLOW that I've got from a great friend with pieces of an old english linen fabric, and ...it's fabulous 👌!!!) I do also KINTSUGI all the time, and...also so happy to find out that all my huge abstract paintings with oxidate fabric collages are totally WABI SABI !! Thank you very much for this superbe CLASS, glad to share w/ my 🎨 artist friends !!
Thank you Tania for your really lovely reply. It is funny how you can live and create a space that feels right intrinsically and then when you take a minute to observe your choices, it has all the elements that pertain to a style you resonate with! I love the sound of the old, loved aubusson pillow. Sounds like my sort of pillow! Enjoy your weekend. Thanks for your support, Suzie x
Beautiful and peaceful Suzie. Thank you.
Thank you Natalia! I am glad you found the video calming and hope you feel inspired xx

Loving your inspiration
Thanks so much for sharing, very relaxing watching.
That's great to read. Thanks Jackie x Suzie
This is the most thorough and enjoyable presentation of wabi sabi I have ever seen. I really feel that I understand what wabi sabi is - Now it makes sense. I feel that I have absorbed so much knowledge and your calm voice is therapeutic.
Dear Shirley, that is wonderful to hear! So glad the video clicked for you and helped you absorb the Wabi Sabi philosophy xx
This is so relaxing and calming.

Hello Petal Parker, you are so right! It is very grounded, earthy and textural. Definitely evokes feelings of serenity xx
Very inspiring and beautiful video! Thank you! ❤
You are so welcome xx
this might be my most favorite design style & philosophy.. i feel like it lends itself to blend w other styles especially more rustic designs..

Excellent! Waiting for it!
Hopefully you can join the premiere :) xx

@@suzieandersonhome Again, thank you! You and yours have a wonderful weekend as well!💖
This video happens to be my favorite 😍
Hello Maria, wow, that's great to read! What resonates with you the most? I am glad that you enjoyed it. Suzie x
Excellent love it all ! ❤️
Thank you Shirley! Appreciate your feedback.Suzie x
This is a wonderful video. ♥
Thank you Dawn! xx
Lovely. Thank you. 😊
Thank you for watching Sarah! xx
Wonderful !
Many thanks! I appreciate you watching Kenneth x Suzie
So informative and beautiful ❤
So glad you found it interesting. Thanks for watching. Suzie x
Love your videos, Suzie! So informative and inspiring! I'm in the wabi sabi/Belgian/warm minimalism (Vervoordt) camp but I also love styles which frequently seem incompatible with that look, like dark, moody atmospheric (but not Gothic/Victorian or bro-cave) and neoclassical/Parisian (Saladino.) I want to do a refresh of my small 1960s condo and I've having a hard time visualizing a dark, masculine, warmly minimalist space w/neoclassical elements lol. I'm not sure I can make Vervoordt and Saladino "speak" to each other--and on my IKEA budget, too! 😁 Anyway, love the vids and will watch more of them!
Hello Gregg, thanks for your lovely feedback. I resonate with you in the style you love, I adore the Belgian/warm minimalism however in some rooms I could certainly love the richer more moody approach that adds a welcoming comfort. If you have a stand alone room that could be decorated in a darker, moodier palette it would create a lovely contrast to the major rooms of your house. If you look beyond Ikea and look to vintage/second hand stores, flea markets and ebay you can collect some beautifully well made antiques/vintage finds that have a history that adds a certain unique soul to your space. It is also likely you would find some gorgeous handcrafted ceramics/objects of art for your more warm minimalistic decor. Hope that helps! Have a great Christmas! Suzie x
@@suzieandersonhome Thanks for the reply. I'll certainly keep your advice in mind! Have a great Christmas, too! 🙂
fallen in love with Wabi Sabi. i ordered creme and tan tone fabric for my dining chairs. My dining set is Tuscan but I am updating it to work with wabi sabi.
Hello Vicki, it sounds like you are creating a beautiful dining space with your Tuscan style furniture and new upholstery. I hope it turns out as you desire. Thank you for your support. Suzie x
@@suzieandersonhome Thank you ! I told the designers to ease watch your episodes. I am sure they will love it 🥰
Wonderful. I practiced Yoga for many years. Lately I have trouble with mindfulness. I'm beginning the 54321 exercise this evening.
Hi Judy, fantastic to hear you tried the exercise. How did you find it? xx
Thank you
Thanks June, appreciate your support. Suzie x
good. thank you.
Thank you for watching xx
Благодарю!
Love this viedio😊☕️💖💖
So glad! Thanks for your support xx Suzie
This was well done, a lot of people attempt to explain the Oneness of Wabi-Sabi, but fail at the finer points. You however, happened to CRUSH this, to take an adjective from a younger gen. I see a lot of Wabi-Sabi in Gen.Z
Hello, thanks so much for your positive feedback. We feel quite passionate about these principles. So glad you found it hit the mark. Have a beautiful week, Suzie x
Kamu selalu menyajikan tontonan yg menarik Suzie, di negaraku ada model rumah tradisional yg sangat menarik juga yaitu Rumah Tradisional Jawa dan Bali. Terima Kasih untuk Videonya yang sangat bagus...
Terima kasih atas dukungan Anda. Memiliki minggu yang indah. Suzie x
Graças a Suzie deixei de ser pobre! Agora, quando dizem que minha tapera é mixuruca, eu respondo, que nada! É Wabi Sabi, com uns toques de Belgium Style. O povo morre de inveja! TY so much, Suzie Anderson.
Sometimes all it takes to feel different in our space is a change of perspective & wabi-sabi is great for that reason 😃❤️
thanks so much for your style
I usually cannot have any volume on with other content creators who blast background music or barage you with so much talking that taking in the visuals is spoiled. Your style has the volume on and I get to listen to you!
edited: typo
Thanks Hope for watching our Video. I'm glad you find ours easy to listen to...I have to say I agree with you when it comes to too much loud talk! I just need to improve on my sound quality so it makes the listening more enjoyable. Appreciate your support. Suzie x
I love your video so much. The style is my favorite . I live in New York condo. Can you give me some suggestions how do I combine these elements with a modern New York look ?
Hello Ting Ting. Thanks for your feedback. I think that elements of the Wabi Sabi style can be incorporated into any space. It's about being conscious of the pieces you select and the space in between. Not overcrowding or having clutter is the starting point and living with what you love. Serene muted colours, handmade unique pieces and natural textures. I hope that helps! Have a lovely Festive Season. Suzie x
Usually when I see a ID video I don’t like everything but this one Is like everything except the up cycling books turned into ornaments. Maybe maybe I’ll change my mind, it happens
Hello Ana, I'm glad you (almost) like everything! Thanks for your support x
Dear Suzie,
Would you ever consider covering Spanish colonial or Moroccan design? I live in a place that gets so very hot, but also freezes in winter!
Thanks for your consideration!
Hello Hope Rules, we actually have Spanish Colonial/Moroccan design on our current list of video ideas :) We hope to cover it soon xx Have a lovely day!
@@suzieandersonhome 🤗❤️❣️🤙🏼
@@suzieandersonhome Thank you!!
Love the quote by Oogway from Kung Fu Panda! ❤️
It is such a good one! Xx
Bello,bellísimo estilo wabi sabi,me encanta!,😘💙❤️🌿
Thank you lovely Gabriela xx
@@suzieandersonhomesi realmente es hermoso!👍😘
Merci j'aime beaucoup cette tradition japonaise. J'aimerais connaître les enduits et l'or qu'il est possible d'utiliser pour le kintsugi ! Très inspirants l'artisanat et la nature.🌿
Thank you Michelle! From what I understand, at-home kintsugi kit's can be purchased online. Otherwise there are a few tutorials on CZcams that you can follow and they should let you know the materials required xx
Thanks for the nice video. May I ask the name of the piano music used in the background?
Hello, the 3 songs featured in this video are: Ever So Blue: Traces, Ever So Blue: Sketches, and Ever So Blue: Patchwork. We source our music from Epidemic sound :) xx
@@suzieandersonhome thank you so much!
🌱🍃🦋🍂
How is this wall texture at 4:03 achieved? Thin layer of plaster, painted and later partially scraped off?
Hello Shedinja, I recommend you reach out to a paint company or a company that specialises in aged finishes such as this one xx
So elderly people are wabi sabi? I like to think so! ❤
That is a wonderful concept! xx
The wall finish at 4:02!!!
Isn't it beautiful!? xx
What is the difference between wabi sabi and organic modern ?
We will be doing a video on organic modern soon! I’d say one big difference is that Wabi Sabi is a philosophy that can inform certain design choices, whereas organic modern is a design style xx
👍👍👍
Thanks for your support Lily, Suzie x
Wonderfully chosen images. Sound is muffled. (Please try to improve voice recording.)
Thank you John for the feedback! I am looking at investing in a proper mic so stay tuned for improved audio quality xx
@@suzieandersonhome Very kind of you to respond. I am looking forward to your new videos. (.... with your commentary to match the visuals.) Best regards!
I’ve loved the video but couldn’t help noticing the expensive and luxurious houses and items. I just wonder if it would be possible to apply these tips in a low budget and small house and still have the same impact.
Hello Aleks, absolutely you can. The fundamental styling elements (our 5 L’s) apply to any living/entertaining spaces from a picnic, caravan, apartment through to an English manor house! Creating a space that resonates with you, with thought and care has amazing results in how you feel in a space. We hope
Our videos show a range of abodes with a focus on the elements that are transferrable to all budgets. In fact some of my favourite ever pieces were found, foraged or picked up in flea markets. Have a wonderful week. Suzie xx
PS: I didn't notice any sound problem on my TV, it just sounds perfect as well the background music...
Oh, wow, that's great! I had a few comments requesting I improve the sound quality! Glad it was fine at your end. Suzie x
The video sound is so low !
Hello Maureen, yes I am sorry. We are working on improving the sound quality. Thanks for your feedback. Suzie X
I don't think I like wabi Sabi I like the calming
Thank you for sharing Carol! Yes there are many ways to achieve a calming environment xx
Like Monk retreats
As I understood wabi sabi is when things are REALLY OLD and used many times, has its history and zen fkn spirit :)) kind of you feel that that old ugly broken house and garden or its fences etc have some kind of spiritual beauty. Not that sushiroll design theory :)))
Yes you are right, embedded within wabi sabi is the acceptance of transience and imperfection xx glad you resonate!
Please improve the sound quality. Sounds like you're in a well on TV. I always look forward to new videos, except for sound quality.
Hello Carol, yes, definitely having to work on that. I do appreciate you persevering while we improve the sound. Suzie x
The most important prinziple of Wabi Sabi is beeing filthy rich.
How so? xx
@@suzieandersonhome Just count the square meters that are occupied with useless but decorative gimmicks, then add all the essential spaces for living like kitchen, washing machines, tools, tv that are on the other side of the camera and finally ad the space for the persons that will come to clear the space after somebody had breakfast.
@@peterliebe829 It seems like you may be in the wrong corner of the internet if you find interior design nothing more than useless decorative gimmicks 😅xx
@@peterliebe829
...being*...
You don't find that your surroundings add or subtract anything from your state of mind and sense of relaxation and home?
You must be a strange fish indeed 😮
For wabi sabi you don't have to have lots of space -- it's more what you put in your space, and the idea is that you don't have to spend a lot of money and fill your place with expensive stuff.
You could find your furnishings and decor from thrift stores and opportunity shops and it could be wabi sabi 😊
Is that the same as wasabi???? 😆😄😂🤭🇬🇧
Similar sounding, but wabi sabi translates as "Wisdom in natural simplicity" and wasabi is a Japanese horseradish, particularly taken with sushi! I love both! Suzie x

Ok,... time to move on. Your video's are beginning to all blend into one long drawn out video. Your advice never changes, showing the same objects several times. Nothing new and exciting happening. So time to cut you lose....
That’s nice Joe, hope you find what you are looking for xx
Thanks for watching! x
