If there is a style dominating the home and interior design world, it is Mid-Century Modern. You can spot its influences everywhere from furniture to home décor.
Mid-Century Modern’s minimalist and contemporary qualities are exceptionally inspiring for kitchen design.

Clean Lines & Simplicity

Mixed Materials & Colors
The ability to mix interesting elements also gives Mid-Century Modern its charm and popularity. Some style combinations typically feature:
- Metals– such as polished brass or chrome.
- Malleable decor– like plastics, fiberglass or plywood.
- Colors– earthy and subdued, but can incorporate vibrant hues as well.
