I always find that the best way to decorate is to create an eclectic mix of modern and traditional styles. It is really easy to fall into the trap of making everything too modern, however, and you may end up living in a space that resembles the inside of a space ship. The easiest way to circumvent this is to add things to your interior that have a modern shape and feel, but are made with traditional, or organic materials. This will give you the modern vibe that you want, but keep your design aesthetic down-to-Earth. Here are five items that would work in any interior that calls for a modern, yet organic touch.

This Coat Range gets the Earth-conscious idea across in a subtle way.
This hollow utility table is versatile because it can be used as a console, desk, or server.
Chairs are a great investment piece because they don’t have to match the table. The table can be industrial, sleek and modern, or traditional, and can be changed as much as you want without getting rid of the chairs.
