When it comes to midcentury modern deĢcor, what’s old is new again. The clean lines, natural finishes and playful aesthetic of midcentury style have been sweeping the design world for several seasons. And it’s more popular than ever in Senior Living communities – this style reminds many current and prospective residents of their most treasured memories. Conjuring these fond feelings and creating a midcentury-inspired space is easier than ever with mod-inspired furnishings from Maxwell Thomas. Here are three easy steps to achieve midcentury perfection.
1. Clean Lines
When creating a midcentury space, it’s important to keep the foundational pieces looking period-perfect. Mod design is all about clean lines. Opt for sleek options like the Oak Park Sofa or the Galveston Sofa for comfortable seating in any common area. The Brevard Occasional Chair is also a welcome addition to conversation spaces. Its streamlined arms and tufted back are a subtle throwback to 1950s style. Finish the foundation of your space with clean-lined accent tables like those from the Ravenna Collection. The tapered legs and metal accents strike the right balance of midcentury modern and contemporary style.

2. Mod Colors, Fabrics & Finishes
To make this retro style come alive, rely on the right color schemes and finishes. Popular palettes from the time include rich teals and mints paired with crimson or combinations of mustard, vibrant orange and avocado. Keep these hues in mind when choosing fabrics, paint and more. And remember that these shades all play well with other midcentury favorites like blonde wood, brushed brass and chrome.
3. Retro Accents
The right combination of contemporary and vintage accessories can make midcentury feel more modern than ever. Incorporating retro-inspired artwork, bright accents and even a few 50s-style antiques can make a space pop – so don’t hesitate to put up that kitty-cat clock or Warhol-inspired print!
