Mid-Century Modern

One of the most wonderful things about mid-century modern is that you don’t have to do your entire home in it. This style incorporates easily with almost any other style. It can be vintage, contemporary and comfortable all at once. Oh, and you’ll also find mid-century modern to be incredibly affordable – always a plus.

Modern forms and simplified details help distinguish a current Mid-century look from the kitschy shag carpet some might associate with this style. Shapes that curve and taper give a soft feel to this classic look, as does white glass, circular globe lighting and black or brass finishes.

Bright and abstract art is quintessential mid-century modern. From pop art posters in the kitchen to a well-placed geometric painting or two. Inspired by its integration with nature, asymmetry is also a staple of mid-century modern style.

Mid-century modern style brings everything into the light. When the style emerged, architects began designing homes with a lot more natural light. It’s no different today, with blonde woods, lighter brass tones and large windows that bring the outside in.
