Wabi-Sabi / Creating Our Shelter

In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, finding moments of calm is essential to our well-being. At sofa-bed-futon , we believe in the art of Wabi Sabi, which embraces imperfection and finds beauty in simplicity.

As we live our complex lives, creating a peaceful bedroom environment can provide a refuge from the chaos of the world.

Here are 8 Wabi Sabi design tips to apply to your bedroom, giving a sense of calm and serenity:


1. Embrace Natural Materials: Incorporate elements such as wood, bamboo, and stone to bring a touch of Earth and nature into your space.

2. Simplify your space: Design your bedroom to create a sense of openness and serenity. Let go of unnecessary items and embrace the beauty of minimalism.

3. Give the feeling of Softness, with textiles: Add layers of soft, tactile fabrics, like our Handmade Futon mattresses, to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

4. Cultivate Intimacy: Create a comfortable corner for reading or meditation, where you can retreat and reconnect with yourself.

5. Embrace Imperfection: Celebrate the beauty of imperfection by incorporating handmade ceramics or vintage finds into your decor.

6. Let in Natural Light: Maximize natural light in your bedroom to create a bright and airy space that uplifts the spirit.

7. Bring Nature Indoors: Incorporate live plants or dried botanicals to infuse your bedroom with the calming energy of the natural world.

8. Promote Calmness: Set the mood for relaxation with soft lighting, soothing scents, and soft music to create a peaceful atmosphere.

By incorporating these Wabi Sabi design principles into your bedroom, you can create a peaceful haven where you can relax, recharge, and find peace amidst the chaos of life.

Surely our selected furniture, mattresses made with natural materials, and other items will help you with this, since this has been our Philosophy for years!

Good luck.
