About this design

This interior scene is dominated by a rich, earthy palette of deep browns, warm wood tones, and cool concrete greys. The hero element is a substantial oak display cabinet featuring solid wood construction with glass-paneled doors that elegantly frame a curated collection of Japanese-inspired ceramics, glassware, and artisanal objects. The cabinet sits against a striking concrete wall with visible texture and water-stain-like vertical markings that add raw industrial character. Lighting is atmospheric and low, with a soft glow emanating from a woven pendant light visible through the hallway, creating a contemplative and serene mood. The spatial layout cleverly uses the tall cabinet to anchor the room while maintaining an open flow into the adjacent corridor. This sophisticated yet understated space would perfectly suit design enthusiasts, collectors of wabi-sabi aesthetics, or anyone seeking a tranquil modern living environment that celebrates craftsmanship and natural materials.

How to get this look

  • Pair a solid oak or walnut display cabinet with textured concrete or plaster walls for contrast
  • Curate collections of ceramics, glassware and small sculptures with varying heights and earthy tones
  • Use warm, low-level lighting and a single statement pendant to create intimate atmosphere
  • Keep the floor in dark concrete or stone to ground the space and enhance the wabi-sabi aesthetic
  • Add one or two oversized pottery vessels on top of the cabinet for vertical balance
