Completed Reno✨

6/7 Edited to

... Read moreWhen designing my Wabi Sabi home, I paid special attention to incorporating living elements that foster a sense of peace and balance. Natural materials like wood, stone, and plants connect the indoors with nature, promoting a calming atmosphere. For example, I chose unfinished wood furniture and neutral tones to create an earthy, grounded feel. Plants not only enhance the air quality but also add a vibrant living element to every room. I recommend selecting low-maintenance greenery such as snake plants or succulents for busy lifestyles. Lighting plays a crucial role—soft, diffused light helps set a tranquil mood, so I opted for warm LED bulbs and paper lanterns. Moreover, decluttering with intentional storage solutions helps maintain the minimalist aesthetic and keeps the space feeling open and restful. If you’re considering a Wabi Sabi inspired renovation, focus on simplicity, authenticity, and celebrating natural imperfections. Bringing these living elements into your home will truly transform it into a serene sanctuary, perfect for mindful and intentional living.

How To Sync Your Smart Home and Reno Timeline?
Smart home planning should not only happen after renovation is completed. Some things can be adjusted later, like scenes, automations, app settings, and dashboard layouts. But some items need to be planned earlier during renovation, especially wiring, sockets, switch placement, curtain motor

Second reno, less mistakes
Our first reno taught us a lot, so this time we planned one year ahead and focused on how we actually live, not just how it looks in photos. Easier cleaning, sockets where we really need them, and lighting that helps us to wind-down. We’ll share everything honestly, and hopefully it helps you
