A converted stone barn decorated in the organic modern style: soft, earthy and calm, with nothing too shiny or too perfect. Walls are limewashed in a warm putty that changes with the light, floors are honey limestone, and the furniture is curved plaster, oak and linen. The doors are painted a soft mushroom, and antique brass fits right in. Its aged, slightly uneven tone looks like it's been there for years, from the curved Sophia levers to the hinges, hooks and small bun knobs on the cupboards.

What makes organic modern work

Trend statusPopular; organic modern and natural materials
Inspired byEarthy, handmade interiors
SuitsPainted doors, limewash and stone floors

Texture over pattern

Organic modern rooms get their interest from texture: cloudy limewash, worn stone, rough linen and handmade pots. Plain shapes and soft colours let those textures show.

Aged metal

Bright metals can feel out of place among natural materials. Antique brass has a darker, uneven tone that looks lived-in and warm, which suits limewash and stone.

Soft curves

The curved Sophia lever echoes the rounded plaster seating, arches and pots that this style loves, while staying simple enough not to look fussy.

Planning notes

Door colour

Soft mushroom, putty and stone paints suit antique brass; paint the doors a shade darker than the walls so they still read.

Bathroom

Add a matching antique brass turn and release to the bathroom door so all the roses match.

Cupboard knobs

Plain bun knobs in antique brass suit painted shaker cupboards and stay comfortable to grip. On a low cupboard, fit them near the top of each door's opening edge.

Old keyholes

A covered escutcheon tidies an original keyhole and keeps draughts out of a barn's thick doors.
