Design tips for decorating a organic style study
Here’s how to achieve the organic aesthetic room of your dreams.What’s the best way to design and decorate a organic study?
The design of your workspace can be as crucial to your productivity as your morning cup of coffee. Whether you're carving out a corner in an open-concept living room or in the process of a remodel to create a dedicated study space, these are our tips to help you create a space that works (pun intended) for you:
- Desk & Chair: The cornerstone of any office, your desk provides a designated workspace for your computer, monitor, books, and other essentials. It often serves as the focal point of an office or study, so place it where it best suits your workflow, ideally near natural light to boost mood and productivity.
- Bookshelves or Storage: Every study needs storage. The material you choose for your storage can really help lean into the desired organic style of your workspace.
- Seating: Extra seating options, like an accent armchair, or sofa can add a cozy touch and provide a spot for guests or a change of scenery for you. Position these to encourage conversation without disrupting your work zone.
- Area Rug: An area rug adds warmth and can define a workspace within a larger room. Place it under your desk and chair to anchor the space, ensuring it's large enough to allow for easy chair movement.
- Paint or Wallpaper: Select a color or pattern that sets the desired mood for the study and complements the organic style you want to achieve. We are partial to covering walls, ceilings, and trim in a uniform paint color to create a cohesive look. Or consider an accent wall behind the desk to serve as a focal point.
- Decorative Lighting: Combine task, ambient, and accent lighting for a layered lighting scheme. A desk lamp is common for those late work nights burning the midnight oil. Consider the placement of lighting fixtures to eliminate shadows and evenly light the space. Dimmer switches can adjust the mood.
- Curtains or Blinds: Window treatments not only help control the light and provide privacy but also serve to tie the room's design together. They offer an opportunity to inject color, texture, and pattern into the living space, making it more inviting and personalized. Whether flowing and sheer for a light, airy feel or rich and textured for a more luxurious look, curtains play a pivotal role in setting the tone and atmosphere of the study. Don’t forget the curtain rod!
Remember, the best study design is one that reflects your personal work style and needs. Experiment with different arrangements until you find the perfect balance of functionality and comfort. If you need an extra hand, check out our step-by-step guide on Home Office Design.
What materials and home decor should I use to achieve a organic study design?
The organic interior design style is an ode to the natural world, emphasizing harmony, sustainability, and a connection to nature through interior spaces. It champions the use of natural shapes, drawing inspiration from the organic forms and irregular contours found in the environment. This design philosophy extends to furniture and decor, which often feature flowing lines and natural motifs, bringing a sense of the outdoors inside. Adopting an organic design approach creates interiors that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also foster a sense of wellbeing and environmental consciousness, offering a tranquil sanctuary that aligns closely with the rhythms of nature.
To achieve an organic study, start with a soft, muted color palette featuring neutrals and earth tones that echo the serenity of natural landscapes. Then start layering in textures and materials. Materials like wood, stone, and natural fibers like cotton and linen are common organic style choices because of their eco-friendly and non-toxic properties. Indoor plants are a staple in organic interiors, enhancing the space with vibrant greenery and a living element that bolsters the indoor-outdoor connection. Maximize natural light to illuminate the space and highlight the natural beauty of the materials and colors used.
