Color Schemes And Materials

Neutrals are great but what we really expect to see in a mid-century modern space is black, red, yellow, orange and tan or amber, so you should incorporate these colors and their shades to achieve a mid-century modern look. You can integrate these colors into a neutral color scheme or mix them up to get a colorful space.

A material that is a must for a mid-century modern space is wood, and it should be stained wood. In mid-century modern interiors wood is mostly rich stained with bold grain shown, it can be walnut, teak or something like that but it’s an absolute must that creates a mood.

Pillows, upholstery, rugs, curtains and even artworks can provide your space with much pattern. As for textures, they are of course a must for any space to make it more eye-catchy and your choice of wood, various textiles and even brick will be a great idea.
