MODERN MID-CENTURY STYLE
Modern Mid-Century is still popular today for myriad reasons. Its characteristics make it a perfect fit for today’s
contemporary, modern and eclectic home decor styles. A connection to Scandinavian minimalism and the
incorporation of natural materials is a core feature that fuels its following. The design philosophy is about
focusing on the basic elements and the function of the item. Big and heavy furniture was replaced with light and
airy spaces that boasted neat proportions and new functional shapes, using both organic and geometric forms.
Wood details are still a unifying element throughout this design, which springs from the Scandinavian influence.
Finished and unfinished wood is used for decor details like doorknobs, ceilings and storage. On furnishings,
a moulded plastic chair might be set on wooden legs, or a modern light fixture may sport wooden elements.
