Today, we’re highlighting the Organic Modern interior design style. An updated approach to the Mid-century modern design style …


What is organic modernism?

Organic modern style is a blend of modern minimalism and nature’s beauty, incorporating warm neutral tones, rich textures, and natural materials into contemporary spaces. This style aims to create a nurturing yet elegant aesthetic, blending the best of both worlds. By adding an organic touch with rich natural textures and warm hues, spaces soften, revealing a warmer, inviting atmosphere with character and soul while maintaining its elegance.

What is modern organic style interior design?

Organic modern design combines contemporary aesthetics with the natural beauty of the outdoors. It incorporates warm colors, modern furniture, natural materials, and greenery to create a sensory-rich environment. The focus is on selecting materials that evoke the raw, unprocessed feel of the natural world, adding warmth, depth, and tactility. Layering natural textures like jute rug, textured throws, and rattan armchairs adds depth and tactile appeal. Statement pieces anchor the aesthetic and set the tone for the space, while using stone or marble as a centerpiece creates a direct connection to nature.

What colors are modern organic?

The palette plays a crucial role in blending different styles in modern interiors. Warm neutral shades like Mystical Shade, Hushed Auburn, and Angora create a light, natural, and unencumbered space. For a modern touch, pair these soft colors with crisp whites or cool blues for subtle contrast.

How to achieve organic modern style?

Organic modern style is characterized by clean lines, rounded shapes, and smooth surfaces, accentuated with natural materials like reclaimed wood, stone, leather, linen, burnished metal, and concrete. This creates an airy, comfortable, and sophisticated atmosphere. The color scheme typically revolves around neutrals like creamy white, warm gray, soft taupe, and subtle touches of black, with wood tones ranging from light oak to rich walnut adding depth. Earthy hues like olive green or ruddy terra-cotta can be added for a refined effect.

Accessories are crucial for achieving a relaxed, curated look, incorporating natural materials through throw blankets, baskets, and small decorative objects. However, it is important not to overcrowd the room, choosing a handful of decorative accents to display and giving each piece plenty of breathing room. Large-scale accessories can offer a bigger impact without cluttering up the space, such as filling a blank wall with one substantial piece of abstract art.

What is the difference between boho and organic modern style?

Bohemian and Organic Modern styles are two distinct interior design styles. Bohemian interiors are characterized by a relaxed atmosphere, combining patterns, textures, and colors. Organic modern style, on the other hand, incorporates natural materials like wood and jute to create a cozy and inviting environment. Minimalism, on the other hand, is characterized by simplicity and a focus on essentials. It is often characterized by a neutral color palette, clean lines, and minimal clutter.

Organic modern style draws from Minimalism by focusing on simple forms and natural materials. Whether you’re starting from scratch or updating your current space, incorporating organic modern style into your home is a sophisticated and sustainable choice. It can help you create a beautiful, timeless space that reflects your personal style and values.

What are the organic colors?

What are the organic colors?

Organic colors are derived from plants and animals and form soluble dyes that can bond with substrates like fabric, paper, or leather. To be used as pigments, dyes must be precipitated onto an inert substrate like alum to form a lake. Vegetable dyes come from various parts of plants, while animal dyes come from ground insects, insect secretions, or sea creatures’ glands. Natural organic dyes can be categorized based on the technique needed to fix them.

Substantive dyes, rich in tannins, require no additives, while adjective dyes require a mordant to make them lightfast and permanent. Vat dyes, which are naturally insoluble and require treatment to render the color soluble, have a mysterious color change process that occurs after removal from the vat and exposure to light or oxygen. The final dying process occurs with a chemical reaction occurring upon removal from the vat and exposure to light or oxygen.

What are two organic colours examples?

Organic pigments like phthalocyanine, azo condensation, perylenes, quinacridones, and carbon black are used in various applications. ScienceDirect uses cookies and is copyrighted by Elsevier B.

What is the organic style of design?

The term “organic design” is used to describe a minimalist style in interior design and architecture that seeks to achieve a harmonious balance between man-made elements and natural forms. This approach involves the use of natural materials such as wood and glass in home furnishings, in addition to incorporating elements that evoke a sense of nature.

What is organic form in interior design?

The organic design style is characterized by the incorporation of curved lines and round shapes, which are employed to create a sense of fluidity, motion, and equilibrium within interior spaces.

What is the difference between modern organic and modern farmhouse?

Modern farmhouse design is characterised by the use of bold, contrasting colours, which evoke a sense of rustic simplicity. In contrast, the Organic Modern style maintains a subdued palette, which exudes a sense of calm and minimalism.

What is the opposite of boho style?

What is the opposite of boho style?

Minimalism, a fashion trend that contrasts with boho style, is defined by a number of key characteristics, including simplicity, clean lines, and understated elegance. The style has gained popularity due to its emphasis on essential items and minimalist design. In contrast, traditional style is typified by the use of bold colours and unconventional designs, with a focus on classic silhouettes, neutral tones, and tailored fits.

  • I call this dry organic modern. I live in lush Minnesota where forests are verdant vibrant greens, the sky is bright blue, soil a rich dark brown, and fall golden and red. The colors of this dry organic modern style are sad, parched, and leave me thirsty. Just a suggestion – Room and Board has some great furniture that might work with this style – a bit expensive but the well crafted and made to last. (I don’t work for them just like their stuff.)

  • I don’t think I could live in an all beige/white home. Bold, bright colours make me happier. However, I do love the organic part. Love wood, stone, plants, ceramic pots/vases, brick walls. Sorry Nick, I love the jungle look!!! Plants are living art and require light. Having large windows contribute to positive health vibes. I can still appreciate those who love the organic modern style. Thanks for another great informative article!!! 💚

  • My husband and I built a house in the woods a couple of years ago and this organic modern is as close to my style as any I’ve seen. Except that I have a slightly more colorful version. Maybe slightly deeper shades of moss green, brown, gold, and so on. but lots of natural materials. Stained trim and solid wood doors, bamboo flooring, granite counter, stone fireplace with a rough wood mantle, pebble floor in the shower, an old barn wood dining room table, lots of matte black metal, real plants. No faux anything. Decorations also related to nature, like bird nests, an undyed wool tapestry, turtle shells, wooden things, pottery, and irregular shapes. And a mix of more modern furniture and antiques. Every room has big windows so that everywhere you look is nature. So I feel like my version of the organic modern style goes well with that. (My son calls my style “obnoxious modern hippie.”) Thanks for covering this style!

  • Denmark here🇩🇰 Often, when I watch your articlees, I sense that the average canadian home leans to the scandinavian style, or am I wrong? I wonder what the average american home looks like? I admit, that I have prejudices, like who wraps their couch in clingfilm?🤔 The danish interior design, to me at least, is just the way we live. Modern, light, organic, with plants and curves. Not 100% since the classics like Wegner, Børge Mogensen, Arne Jacobsen or Verner Panton are expensive. But the style or vibe can be made with other, not so expensive things. And good furnitures can stay in families for generations. When I was younger, I saved for years to buy my first Verner Pantom lampe, called the Globe. And I still have it, 30 years later❤ Maybe do a article on scandinavian lamps or the many wodden figures from Kay Bojesen🙏They are danish style icons, known worldwide. The famous monkey was designed back in 1919 and is still popular and affordable👍

  • As I watched this article, I looked around as, one by one, everything I own was mentioned and every guideline was met. Guess I found my style! Mine is a mix of a couple bought pieces, a few family heirlooms, thrifted, traded, auction purchases and even a trade or two. Love the style and love Nick’s wonderful witty comments.

  • oooh that’s what that style is called! ive seen it mixed with mid century-ish styles a lot recently, it looks stunning. although in it’s ‘pure’, completely organic beige-y form i feel like it doesnt work in every space, i really love the concept. it always kind of feels like a spa moment to me. mix in unexpected anorganic shapes, styles and colors for a pop of contrast and boom! absolute goodness.

  • This is an excellent and informative article. I really like the format. I do think your critique of too many plants may be missing the point. A lot of the people who have hundreds of plants want their home to look like a jungle, it’s intentionally done for a jungle aesthetic. It’s not only a design choice, indoor gardening is a hobby, people have many plants because the care of them provides meaningful recreational activity.

  • For about the last fifteen+ years, I’ve described my style as organic modern (and sometimes organic modern-industrial) because I didn’t know how else to describe my style. So, thank you, Nick, for making me feel legit. I would never have known it’s now a thing if I hadn’t tripped across your website.

  • This is as close to my personal style as it gets! ❤ I can’t imagine anything more sophisticated. I absolutely love natural materials, earthy tones and greenery mixed with timeless mid-century furniture. Our bathrooms are wabi-sabi-leaning with travertine and neutral colour palette + black chrome. Our kitchen is a bit more vibrant because of natural stone (Roma Imperiale quartzite) with intense, brown and teracota veins. We paired it with off-white and wooden cabinets. We put natural stone and wood everywhere we could, which makes this style pretty expensive. After living in an apartment filled with random furniture and statement turquoise walls, our new house feels like heaven.

  • OMG. You nailed it. I have been trying to determine ‘my’ style when planning to decorate my new house and I have screenshot several of these images. Perfect ! Thank you so much. I unfortunately (for retailers) now live in France and reminisce about being able to source great design and a variety of price points in the US but that is the way life is.

  • See i love organic modern and biophilic interior design but everyone insists it has to be “nuetrals” and it makes me sad. My home is surrounded by trees, a pond, and colorful blooms. Pine trees and palms grow in straight lines, bright greens and rusty undertones are everywhere. And i want a dark home. I dont want a single white wall, the closest i will compromise for is a limewash grey. I also feel like if i have accents with bright color like one pillow, or a pop of color within a otherwise muted textile pattern, that is a great reflection of the pop of color from blooms, insects and birds you see in nature. The blue of the sky is also a very natural and wonderful color. This is giving sad beige and i disagree. This isnt “organic” its a bleached version of what you see outside at any givin point. I want my color!

  • I’m so glad you defined Organic Modern. I’ve been moving away from modern farmhouse and trying to add natural materials with modern lines. However, I have some vintage items that I love (and will not get rid of) that would be called traditional. My designer sister said I actually lean toward ‘transitional’. Have you done a article on this?

  • I think my favorite design style would have to be called Art Room. The room itself would be plain and unimpressive with neutral walls and flooring and then I’d add too many colorful and very busy looking handmade decorations all over the walls. The furniture would have to be painted fun colors. I would decorate some cardboard curtains and pop those in the windows. I find this style of decor relaxing. If I had my own house it would be covered in journal art.

  • It’s called “sad beige” for a reason and screams “I don’t know how to use subtle color so I’m just gonna play it safe with beige.” There’s salmon (halfway between terra cotta and beige), champagne (halfway between gold and beige), and celadon (greyish, beige green) as a few examples of subtle color. Wasn’t the drinking game about every time you say “jute”?

  • Love your articles! I was very happy to hear you discuss the difference between Contemporary and Modern. I’d love to see a article about early Modern design of the 1920s +… think the Barcelona chair, buildings (and furniture) by Rietveld, the Bauhaus, plus all sorts of post-WWI designs. Clean lines, minimalism, right angles, machine made/industrial items, etc. These must surely have influenced the MCM artists, designers, and architects?

  • Thank you for the great articles. I’ve only recently found your website, so I’m still exploring. I like this one about cohesiveness a lot. My question is about how to start doing this if you aren’t designing from scratch but want to bring cohesion to a space you’ve been living in a long time, where maybe you’ve accumulated quite a few things that don’t really work together (sometimes just out of necessity, or if you’ve blended two households, etc). Where would you advise beginning? Thanks ☺️

  • Hey Nick, in case you read this, we just bought a house with a windowless bathroom and I figured how to deal with that might be an interesting topic for a future article. A lot of apartments have these and they are very hard to design well so that people like spending time in there. Anyway, have a nice week. 🙂

  • I always look forward to your articles on Saturdays. I l really enjoy your honesty and the fact that you get straight to the point, no apologies. As a native New Yorker, Brooklyn to be exact, I very much gel with that. You are funny and clever and make me laugh and giggle a few times while perusal. Thanks for the decor advice and insight, as well as the entertainment. I would totally have you as my bestie if we knew each tiger, lol. All my best 👋🏻

  • 8:15 Is the light fixture made with two boob light shades turned on their side and put together back to back? Seriously, I actually love this room: the color palette, the bookcases, the texture, the dark plant. The wood is lovely. I would feel so at home in that image because it looks so warm and relaxing.

  • A question for the hive mind re OM style and wall art? I’m renovating a small bungalow right now and want to style it OM, but I have a particular love of paintings by Paul Klee and Gustav KIlimt. Is it possible to use brightly coloured wall art from a Bauhaus cubist and nouveau expressionist and still pull off OM style with neutral tones in the rest of the house? In my head it works, but I’m concerned that the contrast will work against the ambience of the neutrals. Your thoughts?

  • I agree with a previous commenter who called this style “dry organic modern”. It’s lovely, but in my opinion, needs more plants and greenery. A room, without plants, or with just one or two, is just sad in my opinion, regardless of how tasteful and gorgeous the furnishings are. Im sitting in my very organic modern, three season room which has lots textures in beige, grey and black AND about 25 plants of various shapes, textures and sizes. This can work if plants are styled properly. Maybe this can be a new article, Nick ;). Check out Hilton Carter’s fabulous plant-filled home.

  • I haven’t heard this style called Organic Modern before, but I have seen this type of interior for decades in Scandinavia and parts of Europe. Many of my parent’s (young boomers) friends would go for this style. This was of course for people with good income. My parents have some organic pieces, but their two homes are a mishmash of everything, the curse of generational home. I’m doing some changes in my apartment, I’m going for an industrial style, one wall is concrete. perusal this article gave me some ideas for wall colours. Since Industrial isn’t for everyone I’ve been worrying about what to do if I one day have to sell the apartment. Muted greens and blues might work instead of the more typical black.

  • Though your photo choices illustrate your points well, I had to laugh at some of the staging. Are they trying to poke someone’s eye out during dinner at 08:17 and 09:13? And, how quickly would you lose your mind trying to use the kitchen drawer at 10:00 with the plant stem hanging in front of it? I have my mother to thank for training me to see where function has been thrown out of the window for form in design photos.

  • People who say Japan uses lots of organic materials have never been in a Japanese house or apartment before lmao. Everything is a shiny plastic bc ain’t no one got time for that. The only stuff that looks organic and “zen” are like temples and shrines, but that’s out of reach for most people in cities.

  • Nick, you crack me up! You said “plant trend”.😅😂 Plants have been used in well designed homes for-ev-er! Victorian ages, sheeze, even in the industrial revolution in the US well designed homes had plants. Plants, plants, plants 🌿🪴 I get the “jungle trend” sure, but beautiful plants have a place in design whatever your style

  • When it comes to colours found in Nature (13:52) I’d like to concur, but ALSO point out…. that’s colour found in YOUR nature. As in, “where you live” nature. This is why going on vacation to someplace warm and/or tropical can seduce you when in comes interior decorating. You come back home, in love with the (pick any/all that apply)…a) South Western Arizona washed out sepia and terracottas b) Tuscany umbers, terracottas and Mediterranean blue c) Caribbean greens, blues and yes pinks !… and you decide to do over your home or at least one room in your home, in this “nature colour palette”. And it just… doesn’t look *right*. It doesn’t look like it did back in Scottsdale / Cabo / Lucca / Negril….. It’s because you live in Canada. Or the northern parts of the USA. Like, 30 to 50 degrees north of the equator. Vs on or just above the equator of the countries that you are trying to emulate with colour selection. Our sunlight is different. Our plants our different. Our Nature is different. I made the biggest mistakes in picking shades, hues and tints that weren’t conducive to MY natural environment. When I made the switch, my home was instantly more harmonious.

  • Too drab and dreary for me. Still waiting for you to showcase something that I actually like! Fortunately I’m comfortable with my choices, even if I don’t know what to call them. Uncoloured bamboo floor, warm cream walls (the colour our local supplier calls Clotted Cream), red ironbark timber with a low sheen to matte finish for the furniture, similar colour vegetable-tanned leather for the lounge suite. I’m big into organic and minimising toxins, so no fabric upholstery that can’t be taken off and washed because PFAS have zero place in my home. Accents of desaturated teal because it goes well as the third colour, and just enough gold brass and glass or mirrors to give a touch of sparkle against the mostly matte or low sheen background. No rugs on the floor in communal spaces because they’re a tripping hazard and then you have to wash them – if people want a rug beside their bed, that’s their own business, but if the floor is heated you shouldn’t need a rug. If you showcase a named style that I want to live in, I’ll be all over that.

  • Hey Nick! I’m living on my own for the first time on a shoe string budget. I watch your articles and covet a lot of the designs you show (especially organic modern) while living in a more urban industrial space. I would love to design my space, but I could never afford a stylist or buying all new furniture and décor. Can you recommend articles to watch or make more articles about how to cultivate a starter style with no budget for young professionals?

  • I like the idea of this design: nature, tranquility, etc. but it looks like something you would have to be careful with. We’re so used to synthetic materials that we don’t really know how to care for natural materials anymore. Linen may or may not be the best choice for you because of its properties. I also think you’d have to be very careful this doesn’t end up screaming “beige mom who has a fit if the kids slouch on the furniture”. All those pale neutrals & harder to care for fabrics probably aren’t best for people with kids or pets. Edit: spelling

  • I like natural materials, wood and plants ( not a jungle though) and I like tranquil. but I don’t like white, cream, beige and gosh absolutely not grey!. ( I have calming pastels like a pale sage, lilac, blue) so I guess ‘organic modern’ is not exactly for me, there is a lot of that style here in the UK at the moment. But then I’m too old for trends lol. But love the articles Nick, so interesting and witty ( “live, laugh love” hate cracks me up evertime you mention it). Have been binge perusal since I found you last week. Love the pace as well.

  • Nick, I love your articles. Even though this is 180 degrees from my style (ok maybe 160 degrees…) I love perusal at least parts of these because I think it’s always helpful to educate yourself on different style themes so at least if you need to pick things out for yourself or someone else, you can make better choices. Best of luck on your new home as well!

  • Wow! We have recently moved to a new place, and it has some furniture from the previous owner, which is darker, but leather, glass, stone. I like accents and scandi, but couldn’t understand why I am now leaning towards buying natural-material (wooden, stone) shelves, more plants, etc. Besides trying to be more sustainable, I now know that this is my style, I am just trying to match what I like to the existing furnishings that I am starting to like, too, thank you!! I really can understand why and what exactly I can shop around for!

  • I thought I would love all of this style. I love MCM, Japanese, minimalism, and desaturated, neutral colors. But, in some of these images, the shapes have moved so far from clean, geometric forms, that it doesn’t speak to me at all. Others are lovely, so I guess I will have to be more precise about my preferences. Thank you!

  • I am so thankful that I found your articles last month. I wanted to actually design my bedroom remodel instead of just throwing paint on the walls. I watched all your bedroom design articles. This article was perfectly timed because I went with a neutral paint color and this gives me more ideas. Thank you so much! ❤

  • I love the organic part, but not a fan of modern. Can “organic” be blended with other decorating styles? I’m wondering what an organic trasitional style would look like. I think that’s the style that would be best fit for me. I love clean lines and simplicity. Ornate is one of my least favorite words.

  • I watch all this stylish stuff but honestly I have the taste of a gen alpha skibidi toilet. I collect too much wacky stuff. I do admire this style and back in the 2000s this style was definitely hot despite usually not really in the normal houses. Not with the white organic couch but with these wicker chairs shaped like lounge eggs and sheep rugs draped over them and the overhang bowed 70s lamps.

  • I love plants in an interior, if they’re done right, of course. Except for pothos. It somehow manages to look artificial, and tends to get leggy in low light. And the green and yellow variegated variety looks like it’s suffering from chlorosis. I’ve seen so many office cubicles decorated with a single strand of pothos taped to the top of the divider. It just looks sad.

  • My trouble is that I don’t know what I like, (or, much easier, hate,) until I see it so it takes me forever to fine the “perfect” piece. It’s like driving down the road and instantaneously hating the look of the car you cannot ignore or wanting to follow the car you cannot take your eyes off because it’s so beautiful.

  • We are building an earth covered dome home next year and we are doing an organic modern design with a desert color palette. Sages, terracota, dusty blue, creams and sandstones, different wood tones and bronze and aged brass. Lots of texture in the fabrics and furniture, mirroring the curve of the ceilings in the lighting and furniture, mirrors etc.

  • When I heard of this I thought it would be more green and blue not light browns. I dont know, we shouldn’t call it nature esc if it has mostly browns. It looks more like a dried up muddy pond with the colors. It needs more greens and blues, not just from the plants. I dont know I live in the woods and it’s just darker and more vibrant and chaotic.

  • Wanted to say that I “cheated” on you and binged some vids on the Design Daddy website (not that it isn’t okay to watch numerous design gurus). I have to say that I, personally, prefer your vids by a mile. Your design advice is more practical and widely applicable, while I feel that his is often more geared toward higher-end, expensive designs. He also seems to inject his design opinions/preferences into some of his vids as though they’re design fact (that man loves him some marble in the most impractical of places). Just my 2 cents. Keep up the awesome vids!

  • Nick do you happen to have any recommendations for rugs / rug retailers for organic modern (I’m based in Vancouver too). This is the style I’ve been shifting our home to over time and trying to move out of the greys while perusal your website since the start. I always look forward to Saturday morning uploads from you, they’re always so fun and informative.

  • Reallly, NIck—what could be more natural than concrete? Water, sand, gravel, and Portland cement, which is calcium is derived from limestone, marl or chalk, with silica, alumina and iron from sand, clay, and iron ore sources. So it’s been manipulated and altered. So have timber and wool, which bear little resemblance to the tree and fleece of their origins. Same with all the other natural materials.

  • I have an odd question for nick or anyone really!? I’m a dark girl so dark moody rooms make me happy and safe feeling. I recently had big life changes and moved into nothing fancy, at all small 1 bedroom apt with tiny kitchen off side to living room and tiny bathroom off bedroom. So basically two medium rooms I can decorate. On bright side my cheap apt is near the ocean on cape cod so I thought a slight very slight coastal vibe might be fitting ( I don’t do themes)! I am allowed to paint they claimed so I’m going to do so quick before they change their mind ha My bedroom and bath I’ve already decided will be a moody blue black! A celestial witchy vibe Question I have is: I want my living room to have a more clean Scandi kinda zen vibe so I’m leaning for a very cool white paint and lots of plants etc…(the kitchen which you can see from there will be a turquoise bright happy vibe) BUT, how does one turn cool white walls and make them feel romantic and moody at NIGHT time?? I’m at a loss?

  • Ok. It’s time to talk about these couches with 12 inch back cushions that are popping up every “modern designer” photo. In a word: Stop. No one wants to crash on the couch after work, flip on the TV for a great night of anything not on regular TV, and … have a choice of either sitting forward to avoid the back cushion – like the office chair you just got out of, or leaning back and having your back bisected halfway up. And if that sounds awful – good – that is exactly the point. Maybe repurpose it as a bench – since it functions like a bench. Couches should be comfortable. Dinky back cushions are not comfortable. Tall backs, properly angled, are.

  • Mid-century modern creeps me out because I associated so closely with the 1950s and how regressive they were for women, LGBT and everyone who wasn’t a white Christian man. Basically “Mad Men” – stylish but actually horrifying. The depressed stay-at-home Stepford wife getting cheated on but having no rights to even open her own bank account. Every time I see homes from that era it just gives me the ick.

  • Easy modern organic how to: buy a bunch of grey vases and wooden bowls, get a fake olive tree (since many of us don’t live in climates that support olive trees) and buy all beige furniture and paint all walls beige. Stand back and observe; if room is devoid of all color and life, you have achieved modern organic. 😂

  • Didn’t know there are trendy plants versus non trendy plants… Never even considered… just love them… but then again I already had/ lovedthe organic modern before we got the name for the trend… close to the Belgian natural country style in colours and materials – but the furniture style there is about 100 years older… – love organic modern more as easier in proportions for modern living space (at least in Europe ) 😊

  • Well my guinea pig use kick his threw poop onto the floor 🤣 that too organic? Pool turned into a eco system for sound effects at night get croaking of frogs. Along with croaking of my sons pet frog. We have sound of aquariums (salt and fresh ). Hope know I am kidding but not this really how is at my house

  • I love this organic modern. I would love to have it in my home. I also love those bold colours you talk about, or bold natural muted colours i should say. I guess, at least for me, it depends on the home. I live in a 18th century Scandinavian wood house, where the frame is logs. The interior is therefore something i need to, in my mind pay respect to. So even if i love organic modern, Scandinavian, japandi, my house could not take it. I have gone traditional old Scandinavian in my home, that has colour, dark earthy tones, dark wood furniture and made it work for the house but yet also for me. A cozy little “torp” in a typical folklore style. If ever i move to a more modern house (doubt it) i would for sure go for this organic modern. My little torp is organic though, no plastic, no metal, just wood, stone and natural materials. Organic oldsyle? Is that a theme? 🙂 Thank you for sharing Nick, as always!
