Fuse sleek lines, bold colors and organic forms to create a clean, modern atmosphere.
While defining the exact time period for mid-century modern design is subject to debate (roughly the early 1940s to the mid 1960s), no one can argue against its current popularity.
In our complex, high-tech world, it's easy to seee why the nostalgic, clean lines and minimalist aesthetics of mid-century design are so appealing. Even better, once you understand the basics, it's not difficult to bring this stylish look into your home.
The "Barcelona Chair" by famed architect Ludwig Miles van der Rohe is a brilliant example of the smooth contours, sharp angles and seamless steel construction this period of design is noted for. Consider echoing the clean lines and stainless steel finishes in your home's fixtures.
1 Accentuate your room.
Mid-century accents are defined by a wide range of designs - anything from abstract patterns to the geometric shapes seen on this pillow. When used sparingly, these bold additions perfectly complement the era's clean aesthetic. These accents can easily be incorporated through fabrics and artwork.
2Pair with parquet.
Often referred to as "fingerblock flooring," parquet floors were commonly used in dining rooms and kitchens in the 1950s and 60s. They perfectly embody several of the main features of mid-century design including the use of geometric patterns, rich brown colors and natural materials.
3Complete the look.
Although there are several specific elements that make up a mid-century look, there is no shortage of ways to combine those elements to create the perfect trim and knob/lever pairing. Especially when you consider sophisticated finishes like bright chrome, polished nickel or matte black. Here are a few of our favorites.
Bowery knob
The Bowery's smart style stems from its clean lines, which were specially crafted to fit in someone's hand. Pair it with our Greyson trim for a chic metropolitan look.
Broadway lever
Influenced by the urban style found in large metropolitan cities, the Broadway lever features a tubular design that offers a tastefully reserved, yet high-style look.
Northbrook lever
The Northbrook's inventive transition from square handle to round shank illustrates a fresh interpretation of true Bauhaus design.
Latitude lever
The most simplistic design in our entire product offering, the Latitude lever is a true nod to modern, minimalist design.
