How to Bring Organic Modern Into Your Home Interior

Being in nature is known to have a positive impact on mental well-being, so it makes sense that people want to bring more natural materials into their homes. Establishing a sense of calm in the home is vital, especially for those who live in busy areas. 

Organic modern is an interior design trend that borrows from Scandinavian minimalism, mid-century modern and bohemian styles. There is a focus on natural materials, organic shapes, curves and hand-crafted goods. 

We share some ways to incorporate the organic modern trend into your home interior so you can create your own sanctuary.

Use Organic Materials

The best way to bring an organic modern feel to your interior is to make use of organic materials. Swap synthetic materials for those like cotton, wood, rattan, wool, concrete and bamboo. 

Real wood furniture can be impactful, and the ability to choose different colours of wood, or stain the wood, can make it work for almost any interior style. For instance, cane and rattan console tables can introduce an instant natural element to suit almost any room in the house. 

Swap textiles for cotton or wool blankets and pillows for more of a natural look and feel. 

Likewise, introducing bamboo and rattan furniture for chairs, coffee tables, and cabinets is another way of bringing organic and natural materials into the home for an on-trend interior. 

Add Texture

Adding texture is an easy way to replicate a natural feel within your home. Rustic wood can bring natural texture to cabinets, worktops and shelving, while sculptural vases can add organic shape to your space. 

Terracotta and stoneware goods, in particular, can bring both an organic feel and earthy colour scheme to your space. 

If you want to soften your space, then add in cosier textures, like a rug or throw blanket. 

Choose Rounded Accessories 

Rounded or curved accessories and furniture are very on-trend and fit perfectly into the organic modern style. Choose home accessories with curved edges, rounded shapes, twists and other organic shapes to decorate shelves or furnish rooms. Bonus points if these accessories are made from natural or organic materials!

Think circular stone vases, round jute rugs and curved rattan armchairs to bring a more organic feel to the space. 

Boost Natural Light

Natural light is one of the best things for a home, so you’ll want to boost the amount you can get in your rooms. To do this, swap heavy curtains for sheer fabrics or lightweight blinds, allowing more light in. Also, add a mirror on the wall opposite your window to reflect more natural light around the room, making it feel brighter and larger. 

Go Minimalistic 

With roots in Scandi style and mid-century modern, the organic modern style is minimalistic at its heart. Keep things simple and intentional, making sure to avoid clutter. Invest in a good cabinet or tidy rattan side table to hide away knick-knacks and clutter. 

Use Neutral Shades

When thinking of “organic” and “natural”, you immediately think of neutral shades. Use white or off-white for the base of your room and balance it with organic, neutral shades and materials. Wooden furniture brings in darker shades to the room, so keep the backdrop brighter and lighter. 

If you want to incorporate bolder colours into your interior, warm neutrals - with red, orange or yellow undertones - work well, as do gold shades or cool blues. 

Highlight Natural Features 

Make the most of natural features in your home - embrace the exposed brick, rugged rock walls or sleek mahogany floors if you already have them in your interior. The raw feel of these features will help to enhance the organic modern style.
