Curated Finds for Nicki: Your Sanctuary Wabi-Sabi Bedroom
Hi Nicki,
Inspired by your brief, I’ve curated two mood boards for your bedroom, drawing on the essence of Wabi-Sabi. I’ve taken into account your existing elements, including the beautiful wood beams, which provide a perfect base for this textured, earthy minimalism.
The selections include linens, wools, and velvets, alongside earthenware pieces to introduce layered textures while keeping the tones deep and earthy, creating a true sanctuary. To give the room a semi-private feel, I’ve suggested a linen curtain at the entryway, allowing flexibility when you have guests. The drapery on the window and exterior door is consistent, with blackout options to provide thickness and ensure your sleep isn’t disturbed.
With the Feng Shui of the room now balanced, I’ve introduced simple yet elegant headboards to frame the wall, alongside two table lamp alternatives and bedside tables that are 40cm wide — please confirm dimensions.
I hope these mood board clarify your vision, and if you’d like to refine any of the pieces further, I’d be delighted to discuss and tailor them to your exact vision.
Primary Bedroom | Option 1
Let’s start with the base — this rug isn’t just charming; it also creates visual interest and warmth, making it perfect for a minimal Wabi-Sabi bedroom. The organic pattern mirrors the warmth of the dark wood beams, creating beautiful cohesion throughout the space.
The headboard is also key to shaping the walls and creating depth — pulling warmth from the rug adds an effortless layer that feels both inviting and elevated. At 80 cm high, it frames the wall beautifully.
I leaned toward earthenware for the table lamps as a subtle showstopper. They’re the first pieces you notice when entering the space, so the proportion and shape had to be just right. This shade feels very Wabi-Sabi and elevates the aesthetic with its textured base.
Let’s keep the curtains blackout and consistent throughout to create an elevated, cohesive look and feel. This product works on a track, making it easy to install on the existing outdoor track. I suggest getting a short track from IKEA and mounting it a few centimeters below the ceiling for the window on the back wall of the bedroom.
This art piece is not only timeless, but it also protrudes from the wall, creating depth and visual interest as you see it from the side. Hang it horizontally, and it will measure W110 × H70 cm — a perfect size for your wall.
I found a fantastic deal on these beautiful dark wooden nightstands, which will anchor the bed and add depth to the foundational pieces. They come as a set of two and are currently 40% off. The wood has subtle movement, and each nightstand is very practical with a drawer to tuck things away.
Adding a soft cotton velvet cushion not only elevates the space, but its warmth feels cozy and perfectly enhances the look. It’s a timeless addition that complements an elevated, modern, and refined aesthetic.
This is a dream for anyone who loves textured minimalism. A quilt that echoes the warmth of the wood beams and balances the texture of the rug will create a true sanctuary — it’s all about the details.
This perfect linen bed skirt will soften and calm the space while covering the bed frame.
Primary Bedroom | Option 1
Another alternative that can beautifully complement a Wabi-Sabi bedroom. The textured earthenware base instantly elevates the vibe, and in this mood board, it works perfectly to introduce curvature and visual interest.
You can never go wrong with a thick linen headboard — it’s a timeless, versatile foundational piece that will last for years. Keep in mind that the height is shorter than in the first mood board. Please make sure to measure your desired height and let me know which option you prefer.
This is a lovely alternative for a nightstand, introducing soft curves that create an inviting look. The design is minimal yet visually strong, and paired with the table lamps, it forms a beautiful combination.
This beautiful waffle-knit cotton bedspread is a perfect refinement, echoing the warm, earthy tones of the rug and beautifully highlighting the textures of the artwork and earthenware table lamps.
