How to Get That Earthy-Chic Look

What is earthy chic? It’s a bright space full of wood and neutral tones. It’s modern and tasty, but not cold. It depends upon sunlight and lots of white and the beauty of the natural world.

The five components for creating an earthy-chic room include:

1. Exposed wood. It can be beams, walls, flooring or details, but it always shows that the grain. And also a pure edge is much better.
2. Natural lighting. Big windows with minimal coverings. Outside is frequently as vital as indoors in an earthy chic room.
3. Neutral colours. Whites, grays, browns and tans, all of them light and reflective.
4. Clean lines and no clutter. Earthy chic is all about showing off the materials, not the collections.
5. Where there are patterns, they are ancient and traditional. Navajo blankets, ikats, suzanis, Indian block prints or African fabrics.

Much like any design style, this appearance is open to interpretation and character. Here are 14 beautiful models of earthy chic.

A strip of horizontal wood paneling gives this space interest, warmth and major design cachet. And notice the windows no coverings.

Robert Young Architects

This one has everything: white walls, natural lighting, clean lines and big windows. But it would be just another empty modern space it it were not for the wall paneled in weathered grey wood.

This modern eclectic room gets its earthy-chic vibe from the driftwood mantel and all that white.

Where there are knickknacks, they are natural: timber, pods, bones, stones, fishes and shells.

An accent wall of horizontal wood gives this spare, bright and neutral room a cozy modern cottage vibe.

Earthy elegant can be more traditional, also. The neutral, earth-tone palette functions beautifully with a couple ornate pieces and a traditional design.

Sutton Suzuki Architects

This fantastic room is hot and modern, created earthy with exposed wood beams, a neutral palette and all that organic lighting.

Jute Interior Design

This is modern farmhouse style with an earthy-chic flair. Every material used in here is organic. And what’s set off beautifully by the vanilla-white walls.

Mark English Architects, AIA

Shade is not verboten within an earthy-chic room. It just has to be a colour you might readily see in character, such as lavender.

Blackband Design

A cozy, multipatterned space with lots of wood and white. It has depth and lots of character, but it’s totally earthy chic.

This huge modern bedroom has all the ideal stuff, including a cowhide area rug. What could be more earthy than an animal skin?

Sullivan, Goulette & Wilson Ltd.. Architects

This sauna-like bathroom is spare and clean and seems like a spa.

Buttrick Wong Architects

Touches of timber within an otherwise white and geometric bathroom add interest. The beautiful organic line of natural-edge timber is always one of a kind.

Integrated

A concentrate on the outside and natural lighting. This opinion is almost like a mural.
