Organic modern is giving a new, earthier lease on life to modern style. Warm tones, natural elements, and curves and textures bring refreshed interest, an art museum aesthetic, and a softer point of entry to previously stale, sterile spaces. And it isn’t too hard to transform your boxy living room—a new vase, potpourri bowl, or side table can do the trick. Check out these 11 local pieces below for inspiration.
