Ways To Incorporate Mid-Century Style Furniture In Your Home

Mid-century style furniture is characterized by clean lines, smooth surfaces, an understated look, and streamlined forms. This kind of furniture is usually made by integrating wood and other materials such as plastics, glass, metals, and plywood. Mid-century style furniture can be either used alone or in coordination with minimalistic furniture to create an appealing look.

Ways to incorporate mid-century style furniture in your home are:

• Wooden Canted Legs: One of the most distinctive elements of mid-century designs is canted legs. Incorporate pieces of furniture (coffee tables, accent chairs, ottomans, barstools, side tables, end tables, sofas, etc.) with such legs for a mid-century style feel.
• Mirrors: You can also use accent mirrors in metals or a gold-tone finish for a mid-century appeal and place them strategically as a focal point of the room.
• Area Rugs: Rugs can also be used for reflecting the mid-century style to add dimension and a bold aesthetic to your room. The perfect choices of rugs for this look are those with vibrant and bold geometric designs made of a durable material.
• A Cocktail Station: Add a classic touch by investing in stylish vintage bar cabinet, bar cart and bar stools. Choose a bar cabinet with clean lines and a retro-look to create a mid-century look. Choose a bar cart with gold/bronze/gunmetal finish, glass shelves, racks for wine bottles, curved metal handles, caster wheels, etc.
• Minimalism: When creating a mid-century look, an important aspect is to keep everything minimal in terms of design and number of things. Choose items with a linear structure, smooth surfaces, and soft curves for an understated look.
• Lighting: Lighting fixtures not only create interesting light effects but also add dimension and aesthetic appeal to space. For a mid-century look, you can choose from a variety of candle holders, a set of lanterns (galvanized metal, black finished metal, fixtures with a brass-tone ceiling cap, etc.), sculptural metal wall sconces, cutout tea-light holders, cage pendant lights, floor lamps (brass-tone finish and glass shade hangs), table lamps, etc.
• Patterns And Texture: Mid-century aesthetics are all about mixing up patterns and textures while keeping things light and airy at the same time. You can use a combination of furniture and furnishing items such as wall art, wooden and metal finish trays, embossed metal trays, vases (terracotta, honeycomb inspired, geometric, glazed ceramic, gold-tone metallic, etc.), area rugs, and other items of similar style.
