In front of the fireplace, listening to the crackling of the fire, wrapped with soft blanket and holding cup of tea in my hands. This is how I can imagine the next December holiday. Those days always give me the opportunity to rest and disconnect before the intensity of the Christmas celebrations. That is why I have prepared a very special destination for those dates, where I can enjoy the small daily pleasures, surrounded by an incomparable nature and a wabi sabi decoration, which reformulates authentic luxury.
In the middle of the Asturian mountains, with spectacular views to the Natural Park of las Ubiñas, we find SOLO Palacio, a true paradise and the most exclusive rural tourist accommodation in the country. In their apartments time stops, thanks to the calm that conveys its environment and, of course, its decoration. This 15th-century palace-house retains all the features of Asturian rural palatial architecture. It perfectly integrates tradition and modernity, thanks to the wabi sabi style, which is committed to the natural simplicity of spaces. Therefore, what makes it unique is its atmosphere, where the most characteristic is the coexistence of this Japanese aesthetic with its rustic essence.
Both its rooms and its wellness area convey unpretentious elegance and the imperfect beauty of the passage of time. Now you’ll understand why I like it so much. I think it is more than a rustic-modern house, its interior design is based on a lifestyle and that is where its authenticity lies. Simplicity and naturalness are its most characteristic features, giving rise to relaxed and warm environments.
Noble materials, such as stone, concrete, bamboo or ceramics, wool or cotton textiles, neutral colours, simple shapes, pure lines and imperfections are its identifying traits. That is why, despite each apartment has its own personality, you will find wooden furniture, artisanal pieces, plants, antiques, fibre lamps… and even some artworks in all of them. We don’t need much more if we are looking for spaces full of peace and balance. It is not only about a decorative style, but a philosophy of life and SOLO Palacio is the best place to get inspired if you want to incorporate wabi sabi decoration in your house. And the better is that you can find some of these pieces in my shop online and in my decor stores.
If you want to bet on a decoration that never goes out of style and where natural elements are the protagonist, here you have some ideas to create a wabi sabi home. Remember that the most important is that your home decoration must be organic, simple, timeless and above all, authentic.
