What happens when imperfection becomes intentional? For certain Decorilla interior designers, it’s where wabi-sabi principles meet contemporary minimalism. Today’s spotlight introduces Sharn\u00e9 Labuschagn\u00e9, whose interiors locate balance through contrast, layering materials until they settle into the unexpected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design has been central to Sharn\u00e9’s work since high school. What sustains her practice today is the process of translating abstract ideas into physical environments that “make people smile.” Each project is a new opportunity to help clients develop a genuine connection to their spaces. In Sharn\u00e9’s own words, it’s all about finding “that sweet spot”\u2014the point where different elements settle into coherent relationships. That often happens through unexpected juxtapositions that make a room feel balanced, but with an element of surprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharn\u00e9 works across contemporary minimalism, transitional interiors, and modern design, paying particular attention to wabi-sabi principles and the practice of finding beauty in natural imperfection. Her projects move between serene, pared-back spaces and bolder, more layered compositions depending on what the brief requires. She’s also drawn to environments where contrasts in texture and material create visual interest without competing for attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did interior design always interest you?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yes, interior design has interested me for as long as I can remember. My passion really started back in high school; I’ve always been drawn to beautiful, thoughtfully curated spaces<\/a>. Even then, I loved paying attention to small details and adding little touches that made a room feel warm, inviting, and personal. Creating spaces that feel like “home” has always come naturally to me, and that early love for aesthetics eventually grew into a full-time career that I genuinely enjoy every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How would you define your design style?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

My design style has definitely evolved over the years. I initially gravitated toward very sleek and modern aesthetics, but as I grew both personally and professionally, I developed a deep appreciation for transitional and Wabi-Sabi\/Japandi design. I love the grounded, calming feel these styles bring\u2014spaces that feel effortlessly warm, lived-in, and full of character. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m drawn to layering textures, adding meaningful details, and creating harmony through simplicity. I also enjoy incorporating a subtle element of surprise in every project, whether it’s an unexpected material, a unique silhouette, or a beautifully contrasted finish. Nature is one of my biggest inspirations. Bringing in organic shapes, natural materials, and soft, earthy tones helps me create homes that feel balanced and truly tranquil for my clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who or what influences your work<\/strong>?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I draw inspiration from a variety of sources, but a few designers consistently influence my creative approach. Amber Lewis<\/a> and Studio McGee<\/a> are some of those I admire; they both blend styles so effortlessly. I love how they mix different wood tones, patterns, and textures, creating spaces that feel curated, cohesive, and full of character without being overly “matchy.”\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
