Scion - Shibori wallpaper
Scion - Isamu fabric
The new Wabi Sabi collection from Scion is perfect for achieving a craft look in your home. For a hand dyed yet structured feel, try papering one or more of your walls in Scion's Shibori wallpaper, with its imperfections and fading lines, it will create a relaxed yet fun look in your room. If the Shibori wallpaper is too strong for your space, try full length eyelet curtains in Scion's Isamu fabric, the quirky irregular spots will add a sense of mischief and won't date easily. For a more eclectic look, layer the Wabi Sabi papers and fabrics, contrasting spots with stripes and block prints with fades, ensuring you keep to a small colour palette to avoid overcomplicating the look. Wooden flooring will keep things simple, and will add to the hand crafted feel. Try whitewashing floorboards for a Scandinavian touch.
The Scion Wabi Sabi collection is now available from Sasha Interiors, Hereford.

Personalise it!
Try mixing in vases and bowls collected from your travels to add to the folky atmosphere. Play with repurposing objects to give an informal, relaxed look - use an architect's drawers as a coffee table, or some old school lockers for shelves.
Experiment with:
- Dyeing your own fabric - you may not achieve metres of perfectly shiboried fabric, but pulling a small piece over a canvas will transform your efforts into a masterpiece - and remember, the imperfections add to the look!
- Groups of objects - try lining up three vases, or three chairs to add a sense of order to your room.
