Mid-century modern is an architectural, interior, product and graphic design that describes mid-20th century developments in modern design, architecture and urban development from roughly 1933 to 1965. The term, employed as a style descriptor as early as the mid-1950s, was reaffirmed in 1983 by Cara Greenberg in the title of her book, Mid-Century Modern: Furniture of the 1950s (Random House), celebrating the style that is now recognized by scholars and museums worldwide as a significant design movement.

Distinguishing Features

If you are in love with Mid-century style and looking to replicate it in your home, here are the basic guidelines in determining what will work:

  • Look for pieces that have clean lines, understated and functional
  • Furniture and accessories should be organic, geometric and have modern shapes
  • Materials can range from traditional things such as wood, metal, leather, and cotton textiles, to non-traditional materials such as glass, vinyl, Plexi, plywood and Lucite
  • Color pallets can range from neutrals tones which reflect nature, to pops of bright color or the graphic use of black and white
Sed turpis libero, molestie nec ullamcorper in, scelerisque vel turpis. Suspendisse dignissi tincidunt ante, ac varius enim. Cras consequat, eros quis malesuada finibus, leo erat vulp quam, quis iaculis odio metus fermentum massa. Sed orci ante, pulvinar eu ornare at, congue eu sapien. Etiam ligula enim, molestie vel libero a, gravida blandit erat.

I hope you enjoyed reading about Mid-century modern style, and seeing how you can achieve it yourself using products from IKEA. Are you a fan? Do you have any Mid-century pieces in your home already?
