Mid Century

Reflecting the time of the mid 20th century, mid-century interior design is rooted in functionality and simplicity. The desire to turn away from ornate previous styles caused decor in homes to become more functional and modern. Mid-century modern home decor is recognisable for its clean lines, a fusion of organic and manmade materials, muted tones, graphic shapes and retro style. Mid-century furniture is often very simple with sleek lines with a focus on functionality and devoid of clutter with wooden or metal pin-style legs. Manmade materials are often used in combination with natural materials, similarly, this fusion of indoor and outdoor is highlighted through incorporating plants and combining bright bold pops of colour with earthy tones rooted in nature.
