\n

1. Start with a strong color palette<\/h4>\n

\"10<\/a><\/p>\n

Nothing says mid-century home decor<\/strong><\/em><\/a> like a strong color palette. Colors such as tangerine, avocado, and other dark pastels create a statement look and can easily be paired with neutral colors such as white or gray.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

2. Choose good quality furniture<\/h4>\n

\"10<\/a><\/p>\n

The mid-century modern style is usually associated with Palm Springs. And you will not find a Palm Springs<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span> home with bad furniture, that is a given. If you want your living room to look like a mid-century modern paradise, you have to make sure your furniture<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span> will stand the test of time.<\/p>\n

3. Use a classic mid-century chandelier<\/h4>\n

\"10<\/a><\/p>\n

Lighting<\/strong><\/em> is also a big issue on what concerns a great mid-century living room decor<\/strong><\/em>. You can go with a mid-century\u00a0chandelier<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span> over your lounge area and it will stand out and make for a stunning statement piece.<\/p>\n

4. Texture is everything<\/h4>\n

\"10<\/p>\n

Texture truly is key. One of the most common textures you can find in mid-century living rooms<\/strong><\/a> is probably velvet<\/strong><\/span>. Not only does it convey a feeling of richness, but it is also a comfortable fabric that makes any sofa look perfect for a movie night!<\/p>\n

5. Be size smart<\/h4>\n

Forget oversized furniture that just clutters up the room. Go for\u00a0smaller options<\/strong>\u00a0that will make your living room feel wider and more inviting. Neutral colors also give the impression of more space, so make sure to also take that into account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Get your nature on<\/h4>\n

\"10<\/p>\n

A good mid-century modern living room is always in touch with the outdoors. We have talked about this on our Fall decor post<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong>, and you should definitely embrace it and bring a little bit of it indoors.<\/p>\n

7. Add a glam element<\/h4>\n

\"10<\/p>\n

If there\u2019s a special someone you\u2019re trying to impress,\u00a0get your glam on<\/strong>\u00a0and choose a few more luxurious items for your living room. Like a\u00a0high-quality mid-century lighting<\/span><\/a>\u00a0design, or a marble side table<\/p>\n

8. Set up a reading nook<\/h4>\n

\"10<\/p>\n

And because your home should be prepared to embrace the rainy Sunday reading sessions that are to come, you should set up a nice space for your reading time. Get a place with a lot of daylight, that has the perfect sofa<\/span><\/span><\/a> or mid-century\u00a0armchair<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a> for you to enjoy the best book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9.\u00a0Accessorize!<\/h4>\n

\"10<\/p>\n

Accessories can make it or break it. They are what make your living room feel like\u00a0your<\/em> living room. You can go with vintage pieces<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, or go on a shopping spree and choose the accessories that will best mirror who you are as a person.<\/p>\n

10. Have fun decorating!<\/h4>\n

\"10<\/p>\n

At the end of the day, whether you\u2019re professionally decorating someone else\u2019s living room or your own, the end result will always reflect how much fun you had doing it. And interior design should be just that. It should be fun and challenging!<\/p>\n
