Trend Focus – Organic Modern
By Ana Zuravliova
In a world where modern minimalism remains a popular and exciting design style, a branch has grown from the centre that retains the clean lines and uncluttered nature of this trend, but with more of a cosy, homely finish. Organic Modern is a beautiful trend that moves away from the colder side of modern design, and instead fills a space with warmth and cosiness.
What is Organic Modern?
Organic Modern is an interior design style that blends contemporary aesthetics with natural elements to create a harmonious and inviting living space. It emphasises the use of sustainable materials, such as wood, stone, and natural fibres, to bring a sense of the outdoors inside. This design approach often makes great use of neutral yet warm colour palettes, clean lines, and minimalistic furniture, allowing the natural textures and organic forms to take centre stage. Plants are a key feature, adding life and freshness to the decor. The overall effect is a serene, balanced environment that promotes a connection with nature while maintaining a sleek, modern look.
- Opt for Minimalism: Keep your space uncluttered with clean lines and simple designs. Avoid over-decorating to maintain a tranquil and organised environment. More angular blinds fit this aesthetic perfectly. Roman blinds, roller blinds and Venetian blinds are fantastic options.
- Texture Variety: Mix and match textures such as smooth wood, rough stone, soft textiles, and woven baskets to add depth and interest to your decor. Smooth velvet or coarse linens will give you the texture you need at your windows.
- Handmade and Artisan Items: Include handcrafted pieces and artisanal decor items. These add a personal touch and support small businesses and local artisans.
- Comfort is Key: Ensure that your space is not only aesthetically pleasing but also comfortable. Soft cushions, cosy throws, and comfortable seating invite relaxation and peace, the ideal emotions for time spent at home!
- Bring the Outdoors In: Beyond the aforementioned greenery, use natural elements like driftwood, seashells, or river rocks as decorative accents. These elements help reinforce the connection with nature and enhance the organic feel of the space.
By following these tips, you can create an Organic Modern interior that is stylish, serene, and in harmony with the natural world.
Organic Modern design is a brilliant way to enjoy the twin benefits of modern minimalism with a warmer finish. By combining sleek lines with warmer neutrals, you’ll be able to relax in style.

Our top tips for a Organic Modern space
Enjoying the sophisticated and minimal aesthetic of Organic Modern interior design is much easier than you may expect. These are our top ten tips for introducing a Organic Modern aesthetic into your home:
- Use Natural Materials: Incorporate elements like natural wood, marble, bamboo, and natural fibres in your furniture and decor. Each of these materials add warmth and texture to your space. For best results look towards quality wooden blinds and shutters, marble effect blinds and plenty of cosy, texture rich throws.
- Embrace Neutral Colours: Stick to a palette of warm earthy tones and muted colours. Off shades of white, beiges, soft greens, and creamy browns create a calm and cohesive environment. You can find out more about these lovely shades in our New Neutrals blog.
- Integrate Indoor Plants: Helping to soften the minimal element of Organic Modern design, plants are a cornerstone of Organic Modern design. Choose a variety of houseplants to purify the air and add vibrant, natural beauty to your home. Broad leaved waxy plants are some of the best options available to you.
- Prioritise Sustainability: Select eco-friendly and sustainably sourced materials. Look for furniture and decor items made from recycled or reclaimed materials. At Blinds Direct, we offer a diverse range of quality fabrics made from recycled materials, each of which will refresh your decor while helping the environment.
- Incorporate Natural Light: Maximise natural light by using sheer curtains, Venetian or Day & Night blinds. The window furnishings are specially designed to let light flood into a room without compromising on privacy. To help you find the ideal material, order up to eight free samples!
