Forming the basis for many different interior trends of today, mid-century design has certainly stood the test of time. If you want to retain the character of the mid-century look but ensure your interior design still retains a fresh with a contemporary edge, opt to combine your timeless furniture classics with some modern, scandi styling.
Create the mid-century modern look:
- Element textured wardrobes with a stone grey frame
- Simple grey floorboards will help to retain the clean, uncluttered look
- Blue is the perfect signature colour for this trend
- Bright block coloured hanging pendants & gallery wall
- Use matte finishes; there is no room for shiny, ‘blingy’ textures
- Use block colours & daring patterns to add depth & personality
A great signature colour for this look is blue. Hugely popular for interiors in 2017, it’s a beautifully balanced hue that works perfectly with both bold and neutral accent shades. Simple grey floorboards will help to retain the clean, uncluttered look, whilst through accessories is where the scheme can really be brought to life. Use block colours and daring patterns to add depth and personality to the muted backdrop.
Furniture should be simple and unfussy. The use of warm, blonde woods will provide a nod to mid-century design but with a modern twist. Wardrobes from our Element range with textured, natural doors provide a simple, but warm backdrop to the overall scheme and complement the natural materials used in wooden accessories. And for the perfect finishing touch, why not add a classic, vintage radio!
For the accessories and finishing touches, copper can be incorporated into just about any area of the room to make your space unique. Glass and copper vases, copper bowls, or copper candlesticks will all add some bling to the muted side tables, whilst a contemporary statement chandelier will help to create a central focal point in the room.
