A powder room, a half bath, a guest bathroom, or a WC—basically, it’s a utilitarian space that houses just a sink and a toilet. But it’s also placed in a convenient spot that immediately introduces guests to your home and style. That means your powder room needs to be as inviting as it is functional. Today we are discussing some ideas to create a mid-century modern or just modern powder room, right for homes with these styles popped up.
What Are Features Of Mid-Century Modern Style?
Mid-century modern decor uses bright accent colors against primary neutral tones of white, black, and wood tones. In keeping with the idea of combining indoor and outdoor, the mid-century color palette is rooted in nature, with earthy greens, bright fall oranges and yellows, muddy browns, sea blue-greens such as aquamarine and teal, and deep clay red. Though more modern interpretations of this style feature different color schemes and neutrals, too.
Mid-century modern furniture is often very simple with sleek lines and a focus on functionality and uncluttered spaces. Chairs and tables will often consist of simple pieces of material held up by wooden or metal pin-style legs.
Manmade materials (like vinyl, plastic, lucite, and fiberglass) and natural materials (like wood, glass, metal, and marble) are often used together in mid-century furniture design. You also see modern pieces staged with vintage statement pieces in mid-century modern design.
