Mid-century modern styles are present in many aspects of today’s design world. One of the main trademarks of the mid-century modern style is a focus on nature and the outdoors, which you can find displayed throughout home designs with the use of large windows, natural window treatments and open floor plans. Another prominent feature that can be found in mid-century modern design is bold colors and prints and a special attention to straight, clean lines when decorating a home.
