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.

[@suzieandersonhome]

Well said! It does take time and conscious placement and curation. Glad you enjoyed this and appreciate the style. Suzie x

[@margaretrosin7853]

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.

[@suzieandersonhome]

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

[@taniadelacombe4476]

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 !!

[@suzieandersonhome]

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

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.

[@doingitdavy1507]

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

[@greggdoty3076]

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!

[@suzieandersonhome]

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

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 ?

[@suzieandersonhome]

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

What is the difference between wabi sabi and organic modern ?

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.

[@suzieandersonhome]

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

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 😊
