Bringing Mid Century Modern Style into Your Home

With the popularity of the Mid Century Modern many people want to add elements into their homes. I personally love taking elements from different styles and showing them off throughout designs.

Mid-century modern furniture is a style of furniture that originated in the mid-20th century, roughly between the 1930s and 1960s. This style of furniture is known for its clean lines, organic shapes, and sleek, minimalist design. Mid-century modern furniture was influenced by the Bauhaus and De Stijl art movements, which emphasized function and simplicity in design.

One of the most notable characteristics of mid-century modern furniture is its focus on form over function. This means that the design of the furniture is just as important, if not more important, than its practicality. Mid-century modern furniture often features bold, geometric shapes and bold, solid colors. An easy way to bring this into your home is through the use of wallpaper and tile.

The use of natural materials such as wood, leather, and wool is also common in mid-century modern furniture.

Mid-century modern furniture is highly sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts alike. Its clean lines and timeless aesthetic make it a versatile choice for any space. Whether you are looking to furnish your entire home with mid-century modern pieces or just add a few key pieces to your existing decor, this style of furniture is a great way to add a touch of sophistication and elegance to your space.

Some of the most iconic mid-century modern furniture pieces include the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman, designed by Charles and Ray Eames, and the Tulip Chair, designed by Eero Saarinen. These pieces are known for their elegant, sculptural forms and their use of innovative materials and manufacturing techniques.

In addition to its aesthetic appeal, mid-century modern furniture is also known for its durability and longevity. Many pieces of mid-century modern furniture are still in use today, decades after they were first designed. This is due in part to the high-quality materials and construction used in their manufacture, as well as the timelessness of their designs. My advise is to save for quality pieces that will stand the test of time rather than cheaper imitations that you will not get to enjoy very long.

If you are interested in incorporating mid-century modern furniture into your home, there are many ways to do so. You can find authentic mid-century modern pieces at vintage shops, online marketplaces, and auctions. Alternatively, you can purchase new furniture that is inspired by the mid-century modern style. No matter what approach you take, adding some mid-century modern pieces to your home is a great way to add a touch of sophistication and elegance to your space.
