Mid-century modern style arose in the 1950s and 1960s and shows off all the best decor features and ideas of those times – stained wood, much texture and primary colors, functional designs and cool shapes. If you want to create a home office in such a style, this roundup will help you both with tips and ideas.
Color Schemes And Materials
Neutrals are great but what we really expect to see in a mid-century modern space is black, red, yellow, orange and tan or amber, so you should incorporate these colors and their shades to achieve a mid-century modern look. You can integrate these colors into a neutral color scheme or mix them up to get a colorful space.
A material that is a must for a mid-century modern space is wood, and it should be stained wood. In mid-century modern interiors wood is mostly rich stained with bold grain shown, it can be walnut, teak or something like that but it’s an absolute must that creates a mood.

As for textures, they are of course a must for any space to make it more eye-catchy and your choice of wood, various textiles and even brick will be a great idea.
