The organic modern interior style has put a fresh spin on modernism, making the usually sleek style feel warm, earthy, and soothing. At the heart of this style lies three key features, including the use of natural materials, a neutral and earthy colour palette, and soft, organic shapes and curves. So if you want to create a modern organic home that feels as inviting as a big hug, our curated collection of products will make it a piece of cake.
Natural materials
The use of natural materials like wood, stone, clay, and natural fibres are essential in modern organic design. These materials establish a seamless connection between your indoor and outdoor spaces, allowing your home to feel more in tune with nature.
To incorporate natural materials into your home, consider investing in wooden furniture. Opt for this wooden shelving unit and these wooden carved back chairs from France to bring an earthy yet refined charm to your living room. We also love this pacific green palm wood bookshelf. For an eclectic touch, these sculptural carved wooden hand chairs are a great statement piece. Pair them with this fossil stone coffee table with bevelled glass or this curved fossil stone side table with bevelled glass to add sophistication and a touch of organic luxury.

Decorative pieces like these lava stone bowls or this Khmer stoneware bottle vase from the 10th-11th century AD can also elevate an earthy feel in your home. Similarly, this Oushak runner hand knotted in the 13th century with a cotton base and dense wool knots is the perfect choice to bring texture and warmth to your floors.

Neutral and earthy colour palettes
From warm terracotta to soft greens, sandy neutrals, and muted browns, there are many options to create your perfect organic modern home. These hues allow natural materials and textures to stand out, while still maintaining a balanced, and relaxed environment.
If terracotta is on your radar, we have a range of warm, rich tones that can easily transform your space. Imagine this vintage rust boucle modular sofa set or this orange maroon crushed velvet single lounge chair in your space. For those who prefer a touch of green, soft sage or deeper forest shades, opt for Kartell's big bloom pendant in mint or these lovely tall green twisted stemmed cordial glasses. Alternatively, opt for this vintage green Featherston numero IV Modular sofa set, one of Australia’s most iconic and prized sofas manufactured in the 1970s. These are all great options to bring a refreshing, natural element to your decor.

Looking for sandy neutrals? Opt for this beautiful oversized ceramic vase, or this rare vintage travertine side table imported from Hawaii in the 1970s. To complement this natural look, add home decor pieces like a natural teak ladder or a cane room divider—both excellent additions for introducing charm to your space. Small subtle additions of darker tones like this cute brown glaze drip salt & pepper shaker set or this 1970's brown crackle glass pottery bowl are also great for adding depth and visual interest.

Organic Shapes and Curves
Organic design is all about embracing soft, flowing forms that have rounded edges, smooth curves, and asymmetrical designs. These natural shapes create a sense of ease and comfort, making your home feel relaxing.
Consider any sofa with flowing shapes that offer comfort and style, such as this curved patterned mustard sofa or this large green curvy sofa. To elevate the ambiance, complement your furniture with curved or asymmetrical lighting. The striking green Murano Vistosi sconce introduces a touch of organic elegance, while the concrete tree trunk lamp offers a unique, earthy accent for those seeking a more natural and earthy look. Additionally, you can also embrace round or oval tables in your living room. This Walter Knoll Seito dining table features a one-of-a-kind table sculpture, with a sense of playful lightness. Meanwhile this Cado coffee table also is a stunning sculptural piece that would blend seamlessly in an organic modern home.
