Whether you are trying to find your design aesthetic or have been sifting through pins on Pinterest, you’ve probably come across the term Organic Modern. Well, what is it? The definition of Organic Modern, provided by the Heritage School of Interior Design states the “style starts with a canvas of modern architecture and layers on natural and organic materials to create a comfortable, effortless feel. In Organic Modern homes, sleek lines are punctuated with reclaimed or rustic materials and natural textures and accessories”.
Organic modern, which is our style here at EWFModern, harmoniously blends the best of the two design styles. Adding furnishings that clearly come from nature with the uncomplicated lines of modern design breathes life into a space. One of our Room Makeover Entrants said, “Organic modern means clean lines, functional and purposeful design and the warmth of natural colors and materials which combined create a soothing modern space.” We couldn’t agree more! Natural materials provide just the right counterpoint for a light, softer, warmer take on modern.
Modern interiors, with their focus on form, function, and organization are derived from modern architecture’s use of geometric angles, curves, and edges. It derives from the father of modern architecture, Frank Lloyd Wright. The outcome is sleek, spacious, and uncluttered. But despite these attributes, “modern” often comes across as cold and lifeless.
The organic aesthetic is rich with character and warmth that comes from the use of natural materials - think stone, wood, and textural fibers. Color, pattern, shapes, and textural inspiration can all be drawn from nature. To achieve this look, we curate natural, sustainably produced materials. We pair with soft, airy textiles with our hard surface materials such as reclaimed wood or metal. A challenge with this aesthetic is creating a balanced space without clashing like materials or their varying stains and finishes. The designers at EWF Modern have mastered this style and are here to help if you need it.
At EWF Modern, Organic Modern is more than an aesthetic. We give preference to manufacturers that use reclaimed or sustainably harvested woods, water-based and low VOC glues and stains, formaldehyde-free foams, and no added chemicals (like fire retardants). We understand that people are spending more time at home during the pandemic and want to create a space that has a cozy and inviting ambiance, while not feeling cluttered and overwhelming.
