Tips and suggestions

Furniture Picks: Classic mid-century credenza with cane details, sculptural leather sofa and armchair, nested coffee tables with hairpin legs. Each piece celebrates iconic mid-century design elements.
Lighting: Statement brass sputnik chandelier adds drama, while the floor lamp gives extra functionality, ie if you need that extra reading light for the corner.

Designer Tips:
- Mix wood tones with confidence
- Do not hesitate to add colors – art walls and variations of rugs are safe to do so
- Emphasize architectural details – if your space has original mid-century features, make them focal points rather than hiding them
- Layer different metal finishes
- When adding decor, think like a mid-century collector: choose fewer, more significant pieces
- Add texture through natural materials
- Include both vintage and modern pieces to add character
- Balance angles with organic shapes
The Final Note: Mid-century style proves that good design never goes out of fashion, and is one of the best options if you want the place to stay timeless. Sometimes the best rooms are the ones that just make you want to sit down and stay awhile.
