How To Decorate A Mid-Century Modern Dining Room?
Build your room around statement pieces. Choose one or two signature mid-century modern pieces of furniture to build your design around. This can be a beautifully shaped dining table, an Eames lounge chair, or a metal sunburst chandelier. Use the rest of your design elements—from the color palette, to artwork, to window treatments—to complement and highlight those statement pieces.
Play with color. Experiment with where you might want to highlight color in your furniture, whether in a bright rug, accented dining room chairs, or graphic artworks. Prioritize retro colors, like sage green, robin’s egg blue, and butter yellow.
Keep it natural. Find a way to ground your design in nature. If you have large windows that look out on a natural landscape, choose interior colors that complement your view. Potted plants are also a great way to introduce nature into your interiors.
