The Michael Murphy Home Furnishing Trend Report – Midcentury Modern Design
Mar
Welcome to the first installment of The Michael Murphy Home Furnishing Trend Report – Midcentury Modern Design, where we ask our team of experts to talk us through some of the key interior design trends for the year ahead. We’ll chat through a new theme each week and show you how these looks can be styled in your own home. This week we’re covering the super-popular mid-century modern interior design style.
Inspired by retro-shapes and mid-twentieth-century design styles, the world of mid-century modern interior design is an exciting one. Notable design features include clean lines, simplicity, functionality, and those famous tapered legs.
Our midcentury modern mood board, designed by our visual teams.
“Key materials in a mid-century modern design palette are wood, velvet, leather, and delicate metal finishes, often combined together to create a unique look,” says John Carroll, studio manager and member of our merchandising team.
Mid-century modern is a classic and sophisticated style that is characterised by sleek, clean lines, a mixture of textures and bright, bold colour. The proper implementation of the design at home is key to ensuring your aesthetic doesn’t appear outdated.
- Clever use of leather. You don’t have to run out and buy a retro-inspired leather sofa to achieve the mid-century modern look at home. Instead, incorporate discreet leather details where you can. We think leather accent chairs, in particular, are a great way to nail this design.
- Choose your key pieces wisely. Investing in genuine mid-century furniture can be pricey if you’re working within a budget. Pick two or three key pieces to act as the focal points in your room.
- We love that mid-century design allows for the bold use of colour, but to keep things looking fresh and modern, keep your walls white and allow your furniture to do the talking when it comes to bright shades.
- Get experimental with lighting. Modern designs and straight lines dominate mid-century lighting trends
