Living sustainably doesn’t mean having to scrimp on luxe. Instead, choose materials that are durable and kind to the earth – sustainably-sourced pure cotton bedlinen, for instance, or bamboo homeware are both luxurious and environmentally-friendly.
How to achieve this look:
1. Go green.
We mean that quite literally. Having lots of plants in the home doesn’t just brighten up the space, it improves your sense of well-being too. If you prefer something more low-maintenance, botanical prints are a great alternative.
2. Surround yourself with natural materials.
These don’t just look good, they feel good too. Opt for natural materials such as wood and linen over synthetic materials like plastic.

The Muji style, with its minimalism and fuss-free aesthetic, has been a huge staple in Singapore’s interior design scene for a couple of years now. But we are seeing a gradual resurgence of another Japanese aesthetic, wabi-sabi.
While this interior style isn’t exactly new it popped up a couple of years back wabi-sabi has become more popular in recent months and it looks set to stay in 2021.
What does wabi-sabi mean exactly?
Before it became a popular interior design style, wabi-sabi was rooted in Japanese history and culture and is a worldview that centres on the idea of finding beauty in imperfection. It accepts things and nature as it is, rather than seek out perfection.
