Natural lime plaster with visible straw and fissures contrasts a terracotta wall and ceiling, while round paper lanterns, a cracked rectangular mirror, irregular blue‑gray stone pavers set in black pebbles, a charred timber bench, a bamboo door panel, and a simple brushed-metal faucet complete the pared-back scene.

Rooted in wabi-sabi restraint, this bathroom pairs a cast-concrete soaking tub with earthen lime plaster walls that reveal straw and expressive cracks.
