How to Achieve the Mid-Century Modern Aesthetic

Ready to decorate? Here are some tips for helping you achieve a mid-century modern aesthetic in your own home.  

 

1.  Use a bold interior color palette – choose two or three bright colors for emphasis, then accent with whites and natural textures.

 

2.  Hang up a vintage, or vintage-inspired, wall clock – the Sunburst clock by George Nelson was especially popular during the 1950s and 1960s.   

 

3.  Discover sleek accessories and furniture – such as a trio of hour-glass shaped vases, a cylindrical ceiling light, or a low-profile bed.

 

3.  Shop Ikea – and other stores that offer affordable furniture and home accessories in the simplicity of Scandinavian style.  

 

4.  Let the sunshine in – mid-century modern homes were often built with expansive panes of glass. Update your window coverings, opting for something light and airy to brighten your home.

Good advice.
