Mid-century furniture has a classic, timeless style that is easy to mix in and blend with other styles. Emily Jones, design advisor at Maiden Home told us that mid-century is usually defined by:
"A piece of furniture is mid-century modern when there’s a marriage between form, material, and function," says Jones. "Removing some of the frills and details prominent in traditional furniture’s silhouettes, mid century moves to highlight the beauty in simple forms."
"Mid century furniture focuses on simplifying highly detailed frames into stunning silhouettes that emphasize clean forms. Instead of intricate details in form, details are layered in through materials, shape, and texture," adds Jones.
Despite being around for decades, mid-century modern furniture is as popular today as it's ever been. "A Big part of the reason why mid-century modern design is so popular has to do with the fact that it combines two of the most important elements that people want to see in their homes: functionality and aesthetics," says Yoselin Castro, Senior Interior Designer at Mackenzie Collier Interiors.
"Having a home that is filled with practical furniture allows one to love and enjoy their space as much as possible and even more when it’s filled with beautiful things too," adds Castro.
