Hi Cornelia! It sounds like you've been observing how certain design principles-perhaps those related to Wabi-Sabi or another aesthetic-look in spacious, luxurious environments like modern "castles" or large homes. While this style may shine in such expansive spaces, it's true that the charm and warmth of these concepts can also be beautifully applied to more modest, everyday rooms. In smaller or more "normal" spaces, Wabi-Sabi’s focus on simplicity, natural materials, and imperfections might feel even more intimate and grounding. The worn textures, weathered wood, or hand-crafted objects become focal points that bring warmth and character. Rather than vast emptiness, you get cozy nooks where every detail tells a story. If you're seeking more relatable examples, seeing how these ideas work in more compact, lived-in settings could provide inspiration that feels more applicable to everyday life.
Beautiful and my favorite design style. Thank you!
Thank you very much for your comments. We also are a big fans of the Japandi Style.
What I learn: looks good in super spacious rooms... modern castels. Would prefer to see normal rooms.
