Minimalist in nature, Organic Modern spaces favor simple silhouettes, warmed up with organic materials and soft curves. A concrete soaking tub is the focal point in this dreamy retreat by Nicole Salceda. The neutral palette anchors the space, allowing natural accents like a wooden vanity cabinet and woven heirloom rug to shine. Hanging delicately over the tub is a scalloped, linen pendant. Aged brass accents along with the crisp white shade balance out the warmer tones in the bathroom.

Earthy homes offer a retreat to the modern world, lending a muted color palette to soften the senses. Organic modern colors include white, cream or nude with cool tones like blue and gray mixed in for contrast. Brighter earth tones like green and terracotta can be added to liven things up. In this Palm Springs primary by Desert Minimalism, a limestone wall feature is the perfect backdrop for varying textiles and soft modern lighting.

Lighting can also offset the more natural elements in a space. From moody plaster to a marble vessel sink, this petite powder room has so many organic-inspired moments.
