Wabi Sabi Retreat : Establishing Character and Calm

The inspiration behind this project is the fascinating Japanese idea of wabi-sabi. We were approached by the owners of this 965-square-foot Mumbai house, who wanted a straightforward, tidy, and welcoming design. This apartment reflects the unique style of our client and promotes a sense of calm.

The design philosophy is centered on simplicity, purposefully employing materials and space to express openness and serenity. The color palette is a beautiful combination of earthy and subdued tones, such as beige, grey, and clay hues, which create a calming background that heightens the room's overall tranquility.

The living area, which takes up the most room in the apartment, is aptly described as artistic and welcoming. It skillfully integrates natural shapes and forms into the furniture, fixtures, and accessories. The living area exhibits subtle elegance. Behind the TV, a backdrop of stone veneer in fluid shape adds opulence. An exquisite visual appeal was created by the stunning and distinctive wall molding design. Through its unique design, the living area's furniture effortlessly offers plenty of seating while preserving an unhindered path of circulation. This arrangement makes it simple to move between adjacent areas like the kitchen, dining, mandir and bedrooms, resulting in a peaceful flow throughout the house.

The kitchen and dining area both expertly adjust to the extremely practical needs of these spaces, though custom furniture adds a touch of subtle charm. This area, which was designed to accommodate contemporary conveniences, provides enough room for storing electronic devices such as mixers, juicers, and microwaves.

Subdued chevron pattern are just as eye-catching, as demonstrated by the bed backdrop, which takes up a significant portion of the wall. The room's neutral wall colors create a perfect balance between the various contrasting details by acting as the ideal counterpoint to the other elements. As a result, its beauty lies at the nexus of simplicity and beauty. The bedroom was given a thoughtful meaning through the design intervention, which involved removing extraneous elements.

The herringbone pattern elevates a bedroom into a sophisticated and elegant statement.In addition to adding visual interest, this timeless design exudes warmth and timeless beauty with its exact, interlocking arrangement.In addition to providing a strong base, the herringbone pattern offers a unique design feature.

 

There is an overall sense of calm and peacefulness in this house. Each element, from the carefully chosen décor to the ambient lighting, adds to the peaceful ambiance that uplifts the spirit and mind.
