Looking for interior inspo for your new (or existing) space? Organic Modern style has entered the chat – and it’s the perfect way to re-vamp your home, stay on trend, and introduce refined and timeless elements into a space.
The great thing about this interior style is that despite being trendy this season, the neutral and fresh features can be used for years to come. Not sure what to look for? Organic Modern is defined by a few key elements: a neutral color palette, organic silhouettes, natural materials and textiles, and minimal mid-century boho influence.
Still not totally sold? Check out our Modern Farmhouse Plan 865000SHW – and don’t be fooled by the fact that it’s called a Farmhouse – this build pulls major design elements from Organic Modern style. That’s why we curated some interior pieces, materials, and color palettes to help kick start your latest interior design project. Want to get the look for your own space? Check out our style guide below!
The Exterior:
The first rule of Organic Modern: don’t be afraid to mix materials! The exterior of Plan 865000SHW ties together a blend of siding & roofing materials, which create visual interest. Try a combination of vertical board & batten and horizontal siding to emphasize certain areas. Integrate some natural greenery (or faux greenery if you’re not a green-thumb) by adding pedestal planters & simple textures to your front porch. Window boxes are a great option to elevate your exterior as well. Choose a neutral color, like Benjamin Moore Rockport Grey in this case.

The Interior:
When designing your living space, be sure to focus on curating a simple and intentional space – not overly cluttered, but not so minimal it feels empty. Keeping your main color palette warm & neutral will give the space a fresh and modern feel. Layer in a few rich and bright pieces, like a vintage looking rug or emerald green throw pillows, to emphasize the organic design element. Don’t forget – plants are decor!

Selecting brushed gold fixtures for your drawer pulls, faucet or sconces is a great way to tie in sleek & sophisticated metals with your kitchen design. A warm “greige” neutral, like Benjamin Moore Sea Haze can give your cabinets an elevated and more stylish color palette. While there isn’t as much opportunity to layer natural textiles in the kitchen, mixing wood tones can be a great option to include natural materials & create visual interest.
Kitchen Style Guide
You know the drill: natural textiles, warm neutral color palette, nature inspired elements. Woven lampshades or textured ceramic lamp bases can add visual interest to your lighting. Tie your decor together by including nature inspired visuals – botanical prints, real or faux greenery, and bedding made from natural textiles.
