Low seating, rounded edges, and details such as corduroy fabric are characteristic of mid-century modern design. A paper lamp strengthens the look here as well. Real vintage or not, it doesn’t matter: it’s all about sticking to the style. Even better, these pieces of furniture are updated with modern comfort.

In this room, the white wall balances pops of colour that are reminiscent of the era: desert rust, earthy greens and warm mustard. Dark wood lends even more warmth to the space. The trick is not to oversaturate with colours and to balance it out with neutral tones.

The storage combination becomes a focal piece in the room, and serves as both decoration and practical storage. The playful placement of the modules adds a whimsical element to the living room while the mostly white tones balance the more colourful furniture – keeping the look minimal and airy.
