Set against a simple backdrop, sophisticated finishes, and elegantly arched designs, mogul Kris Jenner's surprisingly serene home is an organic modern marvel.
The organic modern trend combines the simplicity and minimalism of modern design with elements of nature. The emphasis is on creating a contemporary yet welcoming space in your home without compromising comfort or style.
In a conversation with Architectural Digest, and to the amazement of her designers – Waldo Fernandez of Waldo Designs and the mother-and-son team of Kathleen and Tommy Clements of Clements Design – the Kardashian-Jenner matriarch outlined her vision for a tranquil living room sanctuary, far removed from the chaos of her hectic life.
The organic modern style dates back to the early 20th century when the concept of the organic building came to the fore. The style all but disappeared when the supply of natural materials was disrupted by the war. However, the present-day focus on sustainability and negative perception of mass consumerism has given rise to this naturalistic trend again.
There are three key elements for decorating with this interior design trend: decorating with neutrals, organic materials, and using curves to add dynamism.
Soft neutral colors make up the foundation of an organic modern living room. Decorate with white, beige, and slate, then add splashes of darker colors, such as deep charcoal and rich brown, for extra warmth and depth.
Next up, organic materials play a central role in Kris Jenner's living room. From wood and stone to ceramic and linen, the modern organic trend relies heavily on organic materials and natural textures to create a sense of comfort and warmth in the home, despite the predominant use of white.
Finally, modern organic design uses gentle curves to create a dynamic sense of movement and flow. Consider soft silhouettes, curved furniture, and rounded elements. The final look should be elevated, not child-like.
