How to Decorate an Interior in Mid-Century Modern Style

The mid-century modern style is becoming increasingly popular: the ideas of its creators have not become outdated in more than half a century. To create an interior in this logical and functional style, pay attention to simple forms, open volumes, and large-scale glazing. And, of course, use our tips.

Wainscot walls with wood

Wood paneling is an excellent solution for an interior in the style of the mid-20th century. Refrain from decorative elements and emphasize the beauty of natural wood.

Find solutions within your budget

If solid wood panels are out of your budget, use MDF.

Don't be pedantic

Don't try to copy the mid-20th century style literally. Follow the spirit, not the letter, and create your own version of mid-century style.

Don't forget about the bathroom

Try to create a cohesive look and tie all rooms together with a common stylistic solution. The collection Nouvelle Vague from the French brand Jacob Delafon will help maintain the style in the bathroom. It is inspired by the works of designers and architects from the 1950s.

Pay attention to the teardrop mirror: a sink of the same shape is included. Convenient and simple vanities will help hide from view everything that could spoil even the best design. By the way, the vanities come in various sizes: there is an option for a small bathroom.

Make a signature piece the center of the composition

The 20th century is going into the past, and antiques are what used to seem outdated and out of fashion. Look at what you have in your countryside house — maybe you don't need to wander through flea markets looking for mid-century chairs or desks, as you already own a valuable piece that just needs a little updating.
