Mid century style is about warm wood, clean lines and a few well chosen accents. You do not need to buy everything at once. Start with the pieces that shape the room, then add details over time.
1. Start with the light
A tall floor lamp changes the feel of a room more than almost any other piece. The Mid Century Wood Tripod Floor Lamp brings a soft glow and the classic tripod shape, while the Gold Arc Floor Lamp reaches over a sofa or reading chair.
2. Anchor the room with a rug
Warm earth tones, rust, orange and brown are a signature of the era. A rug like the Retro Overlapping Circles Area Rug or the Terracotta Arch Washable Area Rug ties your furniture together and adds color without a big commitment.
3. Use the walls
Open wall space is a chance to add depth. Try the Walnut Floating Wall Shelves for books and small objects, or hang the Gold Sunburst Wall Mirrors to bounce light around the room.
4. Bring in something green
Plants soften straight lines. A Mid Century Plant Stand lifts a plant off the floor and gives it a place to shine.
5. Keep it simple
The look works best when each piece has room to breathe. Choose a few favorites, leave some empty space and let the wood tones and curves do the work.
