TrendAlert – Mid Century Modern

There’s something absolutely captivating about the sleek, clean lines of mid-century interiors. Since its inception after World War II, the perfectly balanced aesthetics of the Mid-century style created an arresting vibe that remains stylish and timeless to this day.

Mid-century interiors is characterised by its simple, straight-forward look. As society started to thrive post-WWII, households wanted something simple and functional for their homes. Mid-century modern combined a practical, democratic approach to interiors, making every facet of a home decoration easy, organic and relatable. Unlike pre-WWII’s highly embellished interior trends, Mid-century modern went back to the essentials and focused on quality, craftsmanship and usability.

The popularity of Mad Men placed the spotlight back on Mid-century modern!

Join the trend and let the mid-century modern style be your #designspiration for your rooms. Here are a few tips:





Curves and Angles


Mid-century modern interiors focused on streamlined, geometric and organic lines. Combine curves and angles together to create a distinct chic vibe to mid-century modern room. Choose furnishings and decors that have interesting curves and angles to add a Mad Men-esque statement to your room.

Statement Lighting


Though function is highly celebrated in this trend, form was not forgotten. Mid-century style decors started the advent of multi-purpose furnishings. This is clearly seen in the striking light fixtures of the period that doubled as artistic focal points to the room. Add statement lighting to your room to create this elegant mod style.

Eye-popping Technicolour


Mid-century modern style combined dark, earthy and neutral colours with high-saturated highlight colours. This brought a warm, eclectic touch to its interiors. Pair olive greens, browns, taupe and grey with bright poppin’ colours for a mid-century room palette.

Prints and Patterns


Geometric prints and artwork were in vogue during this period. Take a #stylecue and add prints and patterns to your rug, wallpaper or mounted artworks to create a nice mid-century vibe to your room.
