Get to Know Wabi Sabi, the Dreamiest Home Trend of 2018
Imported from Japan, the design trend wabi-sabi celebrates the art of the imperfect.
Fine Lines
No ironing needed! The Rough Linen Solid Cushion Cover in Orkney Charcoal and Orkney Sham in Natural (from $45) look even better with creases.
Just a Pinch
Pigeon Toe Ceramics Stacking Thimble Cups in Terracotta ($44 for four) are made with a hand-thrown design by a potter in Oregon.
Surface Appeal
With its irregular, organic edge and splattered pattern, this large stainless-steel CB2 Comet Enamel White and Gold Serving Platter ($40) is proof that pretty comes in all shapes.
With A Twist
Carved from solid acacia, the helix-shaped handles of West Elm's Spiral Salad Servers ($29 for a pair) put the beautiful wood grain and handicraft on display.
Versatile Vessels
Glazed Jenni Kayne Sierra Cups ($40 each), available in taupe or oatmeal, are true multitaskers: coffee mugs, flower vases, or sweet little succulent planters.
Low-Key Linens
These hand-dyed Flora Poste Studio Flour Sack Shibori Napkins ($38 for a set of four) get their distinct looks from a Japanese folding-and-binding technique.
