Organic modern

Organic modern home accessories suit an interior that looks modern, but never feels harsh or cold. This style uses soft shapes, sand tones, ceramics, wood, stone-look finishes and calm textures. Rounded and organic lines play an important role. A vase, bowl, lamp or side table can stand out visually, as long as the piece suits the proportions of the space.

Which organic modern home accessories suit you?

Start by looking at shape and material. A product with a round or organic silhouette often fits organic modern better than a sleek, angular object. Colour also plays a part. Sand, beige, white, taupe and soft brown tones create a calm base. You can add one dark accent for extra contrast.

• Choose round shapes, soft lines and rounded corners.
• Use sand tones, ceramics, wood or stone-look finishes when this is stated in the product information.
• Use bright colours and hard industrial shapes sparingly.

Round shapes on the table, cabinet and floor

Vases, bowls, pots, table lamps, cushions and side tables suit organic modern well when their shape and material feel soft. A large vase can fill a calm spot on a cabinet, table or plinth. A round bowl works well on a dining table or coffee table. A table lamp with a rounded shape can soften the straight lines in a room.

Combining organic modern with other interior styles

Japandi is a good match if you want to keep the base understated. Coastal works well if you want to use more light colours and airy materials. Prefer a few larger accessories over lots of small décor pieces. That way, shape and material stay clearly visible and the room doesn’t feel crowded.

What is organic modern living?

Organic modern is a contemporary interior style with natural materials, soft lines and calm colours. The base is clean and modern, but feels less strict thanks to the use of rounded shapes and texture.

Which shapes suit organic modern?

Round, oval and organic shapes suit this style well. Irregularly shaped ceramics can also work when the colour and finish remain calm.

How do you combine organic modern with colour?

Start with a base of beige, sand, white, taupe or soft brown. Then add one accent colour, such as soft green, dark brown or black. Repeat this colour in a few places for a more cohesive look.

Start organic modern with shape

Begin with the shape of the product and then look at colour and material. Round vases, low bowls, soft lamp shapes and furniture with rounded lines often suit organic modern very well. Also compare the size with the place where the product will stand. That keeps the interior modern, soft and balanced.
