about us - shibumi

Shibumi: a Japanese aesthetic concept that describes a sense of effortless elegance and simplicity
Shibumi represents a holistic approach to living that emphasises harmony, balance, and refinement.

 

Welcome to Shibumi Living, a lifestyle store curated by Karen Stephens, an artist and Interior Stylist.

Shibumi Living is focused around elevating daily rituals & celebrating the simple pleasure to be found in bringing unique, artisanal pieces into our day to day lives.

Seeking the joy to be found in small, every day moments is a wonderfully simple way to install a sense of well-being. If the things you choose to surround yourself with are well-considered, arouse your senses and make your heart skip a beat, then you are making space for little pockets of happiness.

With my collections, I hope to facilitate that.

Our Natural Skincare & Lifestyle Collections offer a capsule range of sustainable and cruelty free botanical skincare & home fragrance, made in small batches by our hand-picked independent brands. 

Alongside this you will find a complimentary edit of my own hand made pottery & hand drawn cards, as well as occasional vintage collections, including specially sourced artists' originals, ceramics & distinctive decorative pieces to add character and interest to your home. 

Each of these pieces is unique and has it's own story. Hopefully you will enjoy making them part of yours.
