Midcentury modern style was introduced to the design world after two world wars shook the global economy.

Designers went from ornate, luxurious Victorian and Art Deco designs pre-war to a practical, innovative and economical style post-war, known as midcentury modern. Sleek lines, white walls, colorful upholstery and warm wood tones started filling homes, hotels and design galleries.

Some of the most well-known and influential designers of the day such as Charles and Ray Eames, Marcel Breuer, Eero Saarinen and Edward Wormley still have their high-dollar, iconic pieces recreated and demanded by the public. Other furniture designers of today sample from the midcentury line and update them with a more contemporary aesthetic.

Midcentury design can be incorporated subtly with one or two pieces, transitionally with an even mix of iconic design contrasted with contemporary accents and accessories, or authentically by keeping true to the designers’ original style in the space.

The way we see midcentury modern design trending is mostly through transitional style, incorporating past and present. Cohesively blending multiple styles makes midcentury elements stand out without the home feeling dated or retro. Incorporating current colors, patterns and textures with these period pieces allows the design to feel timeless, updated and fresh. There are so many ways to feature this design era in personal and polished combinations at home.
