Organic modern style is a style that has various natural elements while still blending with today’s modern design culture.
This style blends the clean lines and minimalistic approach of modern design with warm, earthy accents, natural materials, and an abundance of greenery.
This is a great design style whether you are remodeling or building a new home. Specific examples of some ways to create this style in your home are stone accents, wood floors and beams, organic shapes, clean lines, plants, natural textures, stucco, and handmade pieces.

Stone is an easy way to incorporate an organic feel while also making a statement. Stone accents can involve backsplash, floors, and sinks.
When finding pieces for your home, try to reach for organic shapes such as rounded and curved edges, think clean and sleek. This will soften the straight lines in the home for a sense of calm.
For the organic modern look keep your lines clean while going for pieces that fit the modern aesthetic. To create an organic look, add in pieces such as plants and other organic materials.
Plants play a large role in the organic side of this style, for obvious reasons. If you are looking for an easy way to get that organic feel, add greenery anywhere in your home.
Organic textures can involve stucco walls, marble accents, stone tiles, wood ceilings and floors. Marble Systems is an amazing brand that can give you the perfect marble accents for your space.

Handmade pieces are another way to give you an organic feel with added texture and uniqueness. Since modern style is minimalistic you can really go with quality over quantity in an organic modern style home.
Take advantage of large windows and doors when renovating a home to create an organic feel and to also allow sunlight to flow through the home. Organic design is all about bringing the outside indoors.
Find beauty in the wear of materials, for example most natural elements such as stone are not going to be perfect pieces. The detail in these imperfect earthy elements highlights the natural beauty in organic pieces. Nature is not perfect and organic style is a place that highlights and appreciates the beauty in that.

Most may think of organic modern style as a neutral aesthetic; however, there are ways to add pops of color while still staying within this style. Organic colors include terracotta, soft blues, and natural greens. This can add a lot of value and interest to your space. Zellige Classique tiles are a great way to incorporate these natural pops of color into your home.

When designing an organic modern home you need to have a minimalist mindset, this is the best way to achieve this look. In places where you add certain plants or handmade pieces keep it very minimal and uncluttered for a minimal, modern look.
Finding connection in the immediate surroundings of a home is a great aspect to add to this style. A coastal home, for instance could bring in elements such as raw wood, rattan touches, natural fiber rugs, and lots of large windows for sunlight. This creates an immediate connection between the home and its natural environment for an organic appeal.
