If anyone is synonymous with rustic, cowgirl-inspired style, it's Bella Hadid. The supermodel, known for her country-esque outfits – most recently complete with a cowgirl hat – is deeply familiar with rustic living. Between caring for horses and visiting ranches and stockyards around the country, it's natural that her passion translates to her interiors, too.
Her design solution? Bella Hadid's organic modern trend is emerging as one of the most accessible design aesthetics for the coming year. This style seamlessly blends modern simplicity with naturalistic elements for timeless results.
Bella brought this trend into her neutral living room, a space that combines soft neutrals and varying textures with harsher features, notably her architectural wooden beams and exposed stone wall. This look has quickly garnered attention from designers, including New York-based Nina Lichtenstein.

'Bella Hadid's living room epitomizes the essence of organic modern design – a harmonious blend of soft, neutral tones with raw, textural elements that create a captivating visual and tactile experience. Stepping into this space feels like entering a sanctuary where sophistication meets natural tranquility,' Nina observes.
'Hadid's design ethos revolves around juxtaposition, balancing softness with edge. She beautifully marries the softness of neutral hues like ivory, beige, and warm grays with the raw, unrefined textures of stone and wood. The room boasts a striking stone accent wall, anchoring the space with its rugged allure and commanding presence. Complementing this focal point, a wood accent beam positioned between the windows and French doors, along with inset wood shelves, amplifies its captivating essence.'
The contrast between the soft, neutral colours and varying textures and the more solid features like the stone wall and wooden elements sets the stage for a charming interplay, perfect for settling in as the days shorten and a crispness enters the air. Replicating this aesthetic is straightforward.
The first step is to decorate with neutrals to create a versatile base that allows your textures and accessories to add just the right amount of interest. This approach keeps the space primarily neutral and soothing but ensures it's never dull.
'The choice of soft, neutral colors in Hadid's organic modern living room – on the walls, furnishings, and accessories – creates textural depth and imbues the space with a sense of calm and openness,' Nina says.
'A striking rug, soft throw pillows and cushions, and a tactile throw invite touch and create layers of comfort. These soft textures counterbalance the rawness of the stone wall, inset wood shelves, wood accent beam, and wooden furniture, offering a tactile richness that beckons relaxation. This focus on comfort is particularly welcoming as we move toward the cooler seasons.'
Nina adds, 'The space is a testament to the art of balance in design – softening harsh elements with a palette of soothing neutrals and soft textures. This approach invites comfort without sacrificing style, creating an inviting space that reflects both modern sensibility and organic warmth.'
'To recreate this aesthetic, focus on layering textures, incorporating natural materials, and maintaining a cohesive color scheme. Ultimately, it's about curating a space that feels personal, serene, and effortlessly chic—a true reflection of modern living.'
