Organic style rooms are not limited to using rough hewn materials with a dose of hippie-chic tossed in to make things feel authentic. Rather, today’s organic-styled rooms are modern, crisp and welcoming. Lighting can be one of the most creative endeavors in such rooms and will illuminate all things natural. Domaine Home always has the most inspiring modern room pictures and this post is the lucky recipient of their dedication to featuring stylish rooms.
Balance is key to the organic style room. Heaven knows you wouldn't want everything to be literally made of hemp if your goal was to create a beautiful natural space. These rooms show a lovely balance of organic items like the natural rush and wood dining chairs countered by both organically shaped lights and modern pendants. There is a play of soft and hard, light and dark in all of these rooms.
Again, these rooms display a good balance of light and dark, soft and hard. If you have hard, wooden walls, ceilings and furniture be sure to add plenty of rugs, pillows and cushions to soften the space as well as dark materials like the black floor lamps and iron sconces seen above.
The beach house is one of my favorite organic looks. Whitewashed rattan and natural woods are hallmarks of this aesthetic as are watery blue accents. The best light obviously comes from the light of a sunny day, but you can’t go wrong by adding modern picture lights as seen on the left or the simplicity of a natural wood table lamp.
1. Although modern the Cerno Mica Oiled Walnut LED Pendant Light sports great walnut detailing.

3. I like the modern framing married to the earthy rope of the Uttermost Corda Textured Black Rust Pendant.
4. Amorphic curves in the Arteriors Home Joss Neutral Glass Table Lamp makes this modern-organic.
5. The Collapsible Bamboo Rice Paper Lantern Floor Lamp is timeless, Asian-inspired and reads organic from top to bottom.
6. Slim and versatile, the Lite Source Linterna Bamboo Polished Steel Floor Lamp is a true space saver and infuses a bit of nature into any room.
As you can see, there are many ways to design an organic style room without having to incorporate macrame!
