The Mid-Century Modern trend is climbing high on every design list. People love the emphasis on function and form. The style is both practical and aesthetically pleasing. You can also switch this design from bright and fun, to dark and sleek. With a Mid-Century Modern design, everyone can get what they want. While you’re looking to reinvigorate your space, here are 5 Mid-Century Modern designs we recommend. 

 

Wood Furnishings

No Mid-Century Modern home is complete without some wood furnishings. Not everything needs to be wood, but maybe a clean-lined coffee table, picture frames and wooden blinds. This style is all about embracing the natural feel, so wood is essential. 

 

Texture Blend

This trend really taps into your creativity. Mix and match textures of your decor and furniture to create a visually appealing space. If you look at the picture above, you’ll see the leather couch, mixed with wood, and crown molding. Have a color palette in mind when picking out your decor to keep your design from overwhelming.

 

Pop of Pattern

Add interest to any room with a nice color scheme and blend of pattern! Think oversized floral print on a custom bedding piece or a feature wallpaper design. This creates fun and adds a pinch of uniqueness. 

 

Touches of Retro Fabrics and Accessories

Mid-Century modern takes the modern in one hand and cherishes the retro and vintage in the other. You can achieve this by adding a retro lamp shade, maybe some 1920’s pillows on your couch or a groovy custom curtain pattern. The trick is not going overboard. You want to take pieces of grandma’s house, you don’t want to live there. 

 

Storage System
