Some concepts are so impactful to a culture that they infuse an array of aspects, from food choices, business choices, even decorating choices. Right now this concept is the concern many feel for the Earth as an entity. Concern for her sustainability, her needs, her health and her interactions and connection with the life upon her is paramount in many minds. This impacts our culture and our generational spectrum. It even effects our home decorating choices. The use of organic shapes apes this current concern. Known as Biophilic design it has a feel that at the quickest glance passes for modern and even abstract. But the feel is far more passive and timeless. The shapes are geometric, as can be found in modern pieces, but the corners are rounded, as if softened by an eternal sea. Imperfect shapes, such as are found on topographical maps and in nature herself are de rigueur. If your home starts to resemble a forest, full of hewn logs, mushrooms and shapes that belong under a microscope the look is on point. Warm, nubby, neutral toned and amorphous are the key notes to go for.
Key Takeaways:
- Paint organic shapes onto walls or find a wall mural with the same effect.
- Search for rugs in the shape of natural elements, such as a bird wing, pebble, or cross section of a tree trunk.
- Decorative accessories should also be inspired by nature, e.g., pieces shaped like shells, leaves, or small animals.
“One of those trends is for organic shapes in interiors which we are currently seeing in the form of curved lines and round shapes.”
