Organic Modern Summer Table Decor

It’s been a little while since I’ve shared a tablescape with you! Now that school is out, I’m feeling a new sense of creativity and productivity and it has felt so good. As the fresh summer air starts to roll in, I was inspired to work on some organic modern summer table decor. Whether you are ready to have a few guests over or just want to spruce up your normal family dinners, here are some ideas!

Organic Modern Table Decor

I have found myself really leaning towards the organic modern decor. I will always have my own personal style, but I have also always liked blending natural elements with more modern lines. I definitely want to include a little more of that style in the main living area of our home.

This table was all about my love for black accents also incorporating some fun elements to make it feel a little more like summer. A few pops of pattern and earthy colors.

Oh and notice something different? Our rug went away. Well actually I took it outside to hose off, one of the benefits of putting an indoor/outdoor rug in our kitchen is that when the kids spill on it, I can easily clean it off!

Mix and Match Dinnerware

One of my favorite ways to set a table is to mix and match dinnerware. Instead of using a ‘set’, slowly build your collection over time. I often grab inexpensive dinner plates or salad plates to add a contrast or a pop of pattern.

For an inexpensive centerpiece, grab a small plant off your porch for an organic and dramatic look!

Add a colorful napkin! I don’t use a lot of color in my designs but sometimes a nice earth tone napkin is the perfect pop of color.

Organic Centerpiece

I’m all about using what you have around the house to create a tablesacape. Sometimes that means bringing a plant in from outside! I got these new planters for our outdoor space . They were actually a natural concrete color and I painted them matte black for a contrast. I put a small shrub plant in them and liked how it created an organic look to the table.

Fresh greens always make a space feel brighter and welcoming. It’s such an easy an inexpensive way to spruce up the table.

    Where is this table from?! I absolutely love it, and I’m sure someone has asked already I just didn’t want to filter through a bunch of comments.

#ad We’ve been working on a few refreshes in our backyard this year! The sun has worn down a lot of our furniture out here so we are swapping out our weathered umbrella tables with these gorgeous black fluted tables from @veradek . I already had the matching planters out here (and love them BTW), and decided to add one more in the SandStone color for a bit of contrast. #myveradek #reimagineoutdoors #meetyououtside

Almost everything in here was either brought from our Washington home 3 years ago or bought second hand! Piece by piece this room has become a cozy space for our family over the last 3 years. The new stairs are staying and will work into the new design, I love them so much.

It was tricky. But I’m glad we kept going because the look is everything we envisioned and exactly what my son wanted. I still have lots more to do in here, it’s not even close to being finished. But I’m sure loving the dramatic before and after so far. Linking all sources.
