The mid-century modern style works exceptionally well for all sorts of families, those with children, couples, and singles. This iconic style, often with no Mid-Century house required, is popular from decade to decade.
From an open loft in a renovated historic factory to a high-rise condominium with an ocean view to a small, but cozy big city apartment, Mid-Century Modern can be infused into any sophisticated gentleman’s choice of abode.
Following you will find seven of our favorite tips, today’s bachelor can use to add Mid-Century Modern flair.
First Impressions
Consider the entryway as your chance to create a welcoming environment for guests and family alike. Today, you’ll find a large selection of reproduction or gently used furniture and accessories to love. Mid-Century Modern sideboards and console tables are uniquely suited to the foyer or entry hall.
Lighting
Selecting Mid-Century lighting can be an incredible adventure because of the seemingly endless choices you will find. Switching out light fixtures can change the entire look of a room. Lamps, both table and floor can be added to complement your furnishings. You’ll find stunning lamps in metal, white, black and a myriad of colors.
Seating
Seating is where Mid-Century shines. Designers of that period excelled. Comfortable lounge chairs and sofas come in many fabrics and colors. Don’t forget to add easily movable and versatile plump ottomans for extra seating as seen in the room at the top of this post.
