How to Style: Mid-Century Modern Decor

by Jurnee Luye

Welcome back everyone!
There's so many different styles, trends and aesthetics floating around these days so we figured what better way to create content than to start a new series called "How to Style"
We will show you a new theme each week and show you some different key points and inspiration on how YOU can bring that theme into your space.

If you're looking for a modern decor style that's not too trendy or over-the-top, mid-century modern style might be just what you need. It's timeless, clean and simple. But it can also be playful if you add in some fun accessories or bold colors. A mid-century modern decor works well with all kinds of walls—from brick to brick walls painted white and statement wallpapers—and all kinds of furniture - from sofas to tables and armchairs! Plus, there are lots of ways to make it masculine or feminine as well depending on your taste for color (and whether or not anyone else has the same taste). So let's get started!

Mid-century modern furniture is characterized by clean, simple lines in dark wood frames paired with a neutral upholstery. The overall aesthetic tends to be modern, but there are lots of ways to make it a little more playful or a little more masculine.

The most important thing about styling mid-century modern furniture is that you want to keep it clean and simple. You can do this by pairing your pieces with other styles from the same era (like white leather sofas) or adding some pops of color like bright accents on pillows or throws.

The overall aesthetic tends to be modern, but there are lots of ways to make it a little more playful or a little more masculine.

The key is that the mid-century style is neutral and clean. It's not about florals or cluttered patterns—it's just flat color and simple lines with no extraneous details (like buttons). So if you want to add some extra character, go for it! You can always tone down your design by adding pops of color (like red accents) or using different fabrics than those in your sofa set.

Accessorize with geometric designs and bright bold colors that work well with the neutral shades in the furniture.

  • Use geometric patterns on the walls and furniture.

  • Use bright colors, bold patterns and limited color palettes to create a warm atmosphere in your space. Be sure to use only a limited number of colors so it doesn't look too busy or cluttered!

  • Think about the color palette. Go for earthy browns, pale blues, warm greys and shades of green for your wall and all over your room color palette.

  • Don't be afraid to use more than one color in an area (such as a chair or side table). This is especially true if it's a light shade—you can always add something darker later on if needed!

Mid century modern furniture is a style that’s so much more than just furniture. It’s about the way we live our lives and how we want to decorate our homes. This style can be applied to any room of your home, from the dining room to guest bedrooms—it just doesn’t have to be limited to one area. By choosing unique pieces of mid century modern furniture, you can create a look that suits your needs while still remaining true to its roots as an affordable alternative for those who want something different than what might come off as traditional or boring (we know these feelings!).

Until next time!
