Organic

Rooted in modern and Scandinavian styles, the organic kitchen is bright, clean, and minimal. It’s a relative of biophilic design, and at its core, organic style is about creating a kitchen that connects to nature. Organic kitchens feature large windows with views of the outdoors, and many open to outdoor living spaces. Sustainable materials are also part of the organic style.

Earth-tone colors and neutrals cover everything from painted cabinets to walls and accents. Natural materials, such as wood cabinetry, stone surfaces, jute rugs, or rattan serving pieces, offer both pattern and texture. Organic kitchens have a simple, modern aesthetic without harsh angles; rounded profiles, organic curves, and arches are expected. Open shelving is also key to the style, according to Hess.

Signature elements of organic kitchens include:

• Earth-tone color palettes

• Connection to the outdoors

• Open shelving

• Natural materials

• Textures as accents
