Mid-century modern is a beautiful and welcoming decor style that makes any home cozy instantly. It appeared in 1950s and 1960s and is still very popular, it has a new life now. If you are looking for some ideas and tips to integrate this style into your home, I’m ready to share gorgeous mid-century modern living rooms that will charm you at once.
Color Schemes And Materials
Mid-century modern style is about primary colors and contrasts, so be generous using color unless you love neutrals a lot. But even in this case you will need some bold and muted shades of yellow, red, orange, green, brown and black, too. You may also dip into warm earthy tones and mix them up with neutrals to achieve a more boho-inspired look.
A material palette is extremely important for a mid-century modern space to make it feel and look like mid-century and to add interest to it. First of all, you should have rich-stained wood with grains seen – that’s a must for rocking this style. Second, you may add rattan for a more relaxed feel – it pairs up beautifully with stained wood and woven items. Third, think of leather – that’s another super popular for this style material. Brick and stone can be also integrated into decor, especially if you are going to have an accent wall or a fireplace. Shiny metals are welcome but stay away from mixing up finishes and don’t use too many metallic accents.
