5 Stunning Wabi-Sabi Dining Room Designs to Inspire Your Next Remodel
1.
Wabi-Sabi Style: Embracing the Beauty of Imperfection
Our first design example is a dining room we created for an Airbnb owner in LA.
The transition space from the entrance to the dining room features a ceiling constructed from rough-hewn oak planks, with portions of the same material used to decorate the walls.
The dining area is adjacent to a large floor-to-ceiling window. The original curtain wall window structure is made of aluminum alloy, with semi-circular arches decorating the structure to create a sense of order.
Furniture made from natural materials was chosen to accentuate the soft furnishings in this space.
2.
Distilling the Commonalities Between Minimalism and Wabi-Sabi
The hardscape design of the dining room is kept minimal, with the walls simply finished in gray plaster.
In this case, some decorative items can serve as references, such as decorative ceramic jars and floral arrangements.
3.
Infusing the Essence of Wabi-Sabi with Mid-Century Modern Home Decor
When people think of apartment living, they often imagine a sense of uniformity and industrial production. This case explores customization within an apartment setting.
Adjacent to the dining area, a display cabinet made of black oak complements the black wall art. On the tabletop sits a ceramic jar that the designer acquired during a trip many years ago.

The Best Design Imitates Nature: In Praise of Shadows
This project is a banquet club space we designed for a client who operates a chain of restaurants. It is located on a rooftop terrace in a commercial center, exclusively for members.
We used greenery to separate the dining area from the external environment. The interior features a vintage color palette.
5.
Humble and Unadorned
This project is located in a sunken plaza within a large residential development.
The exposed concrete structure gradually reveals a private dining room as you descend the steps.
