Mid-Century Modern Characteristics
The technological advances after wartime introduced new textures, materials, and colors to the world of home design. The Mid-Century style dictates that form always follows function to create a classic, understated look. You’ll see clean lines and minimal fuss in Mid-Century design. Ornamentation is limited in this style, but these characteristics are staples in Mid-Century design:
- Wood: The Mid-Century style proximately featured wood furnishings, including wooden cabinets and decorative accent tables. Wood helped to soften the sharp, geometric lines seen in popular furnishings in this type of design.
- Color: Color exploded onto the Mid-Century scene, but subtly. Rooms still had a neutral color palette on the walls, but we started to see accent colors like avocado green, pumpkin orange, and mustard yellow used in accent chairs, throw pillows, and wall art.
- Nature: Due to the popularity of wood in this style, natural elements are a big source of inspiration. The Mid-Century style pulls color palettes from nature motifs and craves the addition of natural light in a space. Decorative potted plants work beautifully as an accessory in this style.
“I love how Lisa transformed my new house. It’s beautiful, it’s me, and I feel very comfortable in it. Working with her on it was a great experience, and I’ll be back when I am ready to tackle some smaller decorating projects.
Lisa has a very upbeat and pleasant personality. She can find common ground with anyone. She has become a friend over the months we have worked together. She always wants to understand her client’s needs, wants, and tastes. She does not push the project beyond the limits (rooms, budget) set by her client. She also gives information in advance about what various rooms typically cost to redecorate at various levels.
Lisa recognizes what decisions are stressful for the client and helps the client work through the decision making, by breaking the task into parts and asking thoughtful questions. For example, she helped me to rethink which older possessions I wanted to keep and which I was ready to let go.
She suggests alternative sources when she does not have an item that the client wants or needs. She advised me on decor issues that didn’t involve my purchasing items from her (e.g., choices for new kitchen back-splash, ideal TV size for my room, and ordering a custom TV cabinet). Lisa also suggests ways to personalize a client’s decor (e.g., displaying collections, photographs).
I feel very fortunate to have found Lisa.”
