Midcentury Modern Furniture Guide For 2022

"I like an interior that defies labeling. I don't really want someone to walk into a room and know that I did it."

Bunny Williams

Midcentury modern furniture is taking the interior design world by storm. There’s a worldwide obsession with this style of furniture. Even television shows and magazines have homes decorated in the midcentury modern style.

If you’re looking to redecorate and haven’t been keeping up with design trends, we’re going to cover midcentury modern furniture in great detail and explain where it fits in a home.

What is Midcentury Modern Furniture?

Midcentury is used to define popular furniture styles between 1933 and 1965, but these dates can be narrowed down even further. For example, you’ll find many definitions mentioning furniture between 1945 and 1957 fitting into the description of midcentury modern.

Many people consider midcentury a return to the 1950s, and the trend has led to many manufacturers creating recreations from the era.

Vintage is popular, but consumers often don’t realize that some models from this era never went out of production. For example, the Eames Lounge Chair is a chair that never went out of production. 

Debates on why this trend is back are ongoing, but the furniture hits on the needs of today’s consumers.

Where Midcentury Modern Furniture Fits in a House

Since midcentury modern doesn’t have many ornamental details, it’s a good choice for modern, classic rooms. Dining room tables, featuring natural tones, looks great in an open dining room where the sun is abundant and wooden floors are present.

Dining room sets look sleek and classy. Tables often have crossing legs or other unique features that make them look natural in the space while also being a focal point of the room.

In the living room, midcentury modern also fits very well. Beautiful leather sofas with open space underneath them allow for each cleaning, storage and also make the space look bigger.

Of course, the style offers options for all areas of the home. Sideboards, side tables, chairs and other items can be placed around the home for the perfect midcentury look. Simple yet elegant, the style is still extremely popular in 2022 and works well with open floor plans that encourage an abundance of natural light.

Choosing Fabrics

The texture of fabrics varies but all of them add warmth and personality to a room. Many possibilities are available in decorating shops, making the work even easier by selling fabrics and papers in the same pattern. Traditionally, fabric was used to cover walls but has since given way to wallpaper, which is more practical and easy to use while carrying out the same function.
