A Guide To Organic Modern Design
My personal decor style is a combination of several interior styles: Nordic, vintage, a hint of grand-millennial, and the style we’re exploring today - Organic Modern. It’s easy to see how organic interiors have become a major part of contemporary design with its cozy and inviting ambiance, use of natural tones found in nature, organic textures and open concept spaces. Think plush comfortable seating, foraged branches and oversized trees, imperfectly shaped vases, and heavily textured fabrics on pillows, curtains and rugs.
Here’s my Guide To Organic Modern and how I would design a home with this style.
vibe
The vibe for organic modern design is warm, inviting, and natural. This style can be minimal with clean lines but intentional with its use of organic materials and textures. Similar to Scandinavian decor, this style uses light-toned woods paired with darker accents. It brings the organic elements from nature inside while highlighting comfortability.

textures and materials
Organic modern design is a beautiful medley of modern lines and organic textures. Natural fibers, like slubby linen, are typically found in furniture and fabrics while organically shaped decor piece add interest and visual texture to a room. I love adding texture with linen curtains and woven baskets for storage.

color palette
Take a serene approach and keep it neutral and calm with accent colors found in nature. Like in this photo the creams and whites are brought to life with oversized greenery, warm mustard accents and contrasted with black.
Or for a more colorful approach, flip the serene color palette making a statement with bold natural colors (like jewel-toned hues such as greens & mustards) and accent with off-white and cream to create calmness and balance.

decor
The decor used in organic modern design is really where you can have fun with shapes, textures, layers and pops of natural color which bring the “organic” to mid-century modern furniture. I love to use irregular-shaped vases, wooden bowls, beads to layer, foraged branches for greenery, as well as woven throws and pillows.
