Midcentury modern<\/em><\/strong> style is a growing trend, but most people don\u2019t want to live in a home that looks like a time capsule. Here\u2019s how to get a retro-inspired look without going overboard.<\/p>\n

Clean Lines, Natural Hues<\/b><\/p>\n

Midcentury furniture pieces are characterized by their clean, simple lines. Wood pieces, often made of teak, are simply finished to showcase their natural beauty.<\/p>\n

\"MidCentury<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Let Wood Details Take Center Stage<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t hide wood details; let them shine. In this living room, a neutral wall color and soft-hued fabrics let the handcrafted arms of these Danish modern chairs be the star.<\/p>\n

\"MidCentury<\/a><\/p>\n

Less Is More<\/strong><\/p>\n

Subtlety and thoughtful craftsmanship are much of what makes midcentury style timeless. When Eero Saarinen designed his modern classic, marble-topped table in 1956, he wanted to eliminate any extra parts, including extraneous table legs. Paired with molded plastic Eames chairs, the simple lines of the table still look fresh and modern in this slate gray contemporary kitchen.<\/p>\n

\"MidCentury<\/a><\/p>\n

Let There Be Light<\/strong><\/p>\n

Midcentury table lamps lend themselves well to any space featuring low-slung furniture, and they\u2019re easy to find at vintage stores. Look for curvy bases in bold hues, paired with tall and slim lampshades.<\/p>\n

\"MidCentury<\/a><\/p>\n

Find Retro Art<\/strong><\/p>\n

Add an unexpected element to your home with a vintage art piece. Look for graphic wall hangings using squares or circles, like this red, orange and brown piece.<\/p>\n

\"MidCentury<\/a><\/p>\n

Pick a Traditional Color Scheme<\/strong><\/p>\n

Embrace the era of mustard, avocado, and tangerine with a \u201960s-inspired color scheme. This living room nods to the classic hues without seeming like a movie set.<\/p>\n

\"MidCentury<\/a><\/p>\n

Keep the Walls White<\/strong><\/p>\n

The midcentury style is all about showcasing quality pieces, so try keeping your walls white. This room\u2019s neutral palette allows the artwork and the rich blue velvet on the vintage Robsjohn Gibbings chair to stand out.<\/p>\n

\"MidCentury<\/a><\/p>\n

Embrace Pattern and Texture<\/strong><\/p>\n

Graphic patterns and midcentury modern style go together like milk and cookies. In this vintage-inspired room, a neutral palette allows us to play with pattern and texture, from the angular gray-and-white upholstery to the textured wallpaper and throw pillows.<\/p>\n

\"MidCentury<\/a><\/p>\n

Try a Bar Cart<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve ever watched an episode of Mad Men<\/em>, you know cocktail culture was almost as important to the show (and the era) as Don Draper\u2019s hair gel. Embrace it by picking up your own bar cart and stocking it with vintage glassware, cocktail shakers, and ornate decanters.<\/p>\n

\"MidCentury<\/a><\/p>\n

Mix Traditional and Modern<\/strong><\/p>\n

A midcentury style isn\u2019t an all-or-nothing proposition. This bachelor pad combines the clean lines of the tufted midcentury sofa and table lamps with more traditional elements, like the bronze-and-glass coffee table.<\/p>\n
