In home décor, design elements like clean lines, muted tones, graphic shapes, functionality, open floor plans—which are incidentally, all key elements of midcentury modern design—remain just as cool today as they were in the ’50s and ’60s. If you’re looking to refresh your entryway, these +10 midcentury modern entryways are sure to stun for at least 70 more years.
01. Incorporate Midcentury-Inspired Furniture

The best part about the resurgence of midcentury design is there are plenty of shoppable pieces available at most price points. Look for pieces that boast classic silhouettes, like tapered furniture legs and organic shapes (like in this mirror).

02. Stick With Symmetry
JENN PABLO STUDIO
Symmetry is a key element in recreating the original spirit of midcentury modern décor. If you place one chair on the side of your foyer console table, be sure to place one on the other side as well. When it comes to the items on top of the console, try to create a balance with taller items on the outside and shorter items in the middle.
03. Create a Style Fusion
CALIMIA HOME
The beauty of any style resurgence is it presents the opportunity to personalize it, including fusing it with other design styles. We love how the clean lines and geometric shapes in this midcentury modern entryway work while combining elements of bohemian décor.
04. Light It Up
ANN LIVING
Since a dark entryway is anything but inviting, it would be a bright idea to add a fixture in your foyer that not only adds light, but goes with the midcentury theme you’re creating. A fixture that boasts geometric shapes, simple lines and a space-age feel, like this Sputnik-inspired one, feels unapologetically midcentury modern.
05. Elongate Your Entryway
HOUSE SPRUCING
Who doesn’t want an entryway that feels tall and airy? But if your foyer remains vertically challenged, a few design decisions can make all the difference in the look and and feel of your current space. Choose items that are taller and draw the eye up, like this oversized oval-shaped mirror and set of tall lamps.
06. Get Artsy With It
ASHLEY MONTGOMERY DESIGN
There’s no quicker way to exude a timeless feel than with vintage-inspired black and white photos. Tip: Imagery of classic midcentury destinations, like Palm Springs, always help tie your midcentury pieces together.
07. Work With Wood

Dark, rich tones of wood are synonymous with midcentury modern design, and this entryway console really hits the mark. Choose large pieces that feel on-theme and embellish your space with personal items for an entryway that looks midcentury and still feels like you.
08. Ace Geometry
JESSICA NELSON
Geometric shapes are prevalent in mid-century modern design and there are plenty of ways to incorporate them in your entryway décor. Mix squared and rectangular frames with rounded accessories and swap plain drawer pulls for geo ones like these rectangular pulls.
09. Go for the Green
OURHOUSEINWRIGLEY
Plants are an important element in any interior design project, but they’re especially essential in midcentury modern setting. A touch of greenery livens things up and makes it feel more on theme. To stay true to the spirit of midcentury, look for specific plants like Fiddle-leaf Figs, Monstera Deliciosa, and the popular Snake Plant.
10. Keep a Low Profile

Low-profile furniture, like this black leather backless bench, is indicative of midcentury modern décor. Adding something like this in your entryway makes for a beautiful and inviting space, but also creates a convenient area to put on and remove shoes at the beginning and end of your day.
