16 Rooms That Show Mid-Century Decor Is Here to Stay

Following the trends in home decor can be a tricky business. One minute it’s all about Millennial Pink, the next the hot color is Greenery. But one style that’s here to stay, especially for the younger set? Mid-century modern. Lovers of clean lines and rich wood tones can rejoice knowing that this aesthetic isn’t going anywhere. We’re glad that the burnt oranges, deep greens, and primary reds that characterize the style are sticking around — and we can never resist an Eames chair! Scroll down for some Insta inspo that’s keeping this look going strong.

Este 2018 que acaba de comenzar trae un cambio de tendencias en la decoración. Este será el año del estilo Mid-Century, que se basa en una época clave del diseño de muebles, con creaciones que aún siguen fabricándose. Con una sencillez llena de elegancia, utiliza piezas clásicas, de formas geométricas, en maderas oscuras y tapizadas en colores, sobre todo pastel, y los complementa con lámparas de formas atípicas y papel pintado. #idiliq #diseño #design #alquilerdemuebles #furniturerental #lasmejorsmarcas #thebestbrands #decoideas #tendencias2018 #MidCenturystyle #designfurniture #desinglovers #decolovers #instadesing #instadeco #desingicons #interiordesign #interiorismo #homedesign

1. Orange Crush: This bold living room isn’t afraid of color. The bright orange seating is what catches the eye, but it’s perfectly accented with hits of citrus yellow, aquatic greens, and a plush white rug.

I’ve always loved how each of these chairs or sofas looked like little gems in the @theFigHouse. This room is a tiny jewelry box of perfectly velvet seating - and all of them are vintage and were thrifted (the 4 chairs were $5 each, then reupholstered!), because our budget was TIGHT. Sure, there are some regrets but man this space still excites me 📷 @ryanliebe

2. Velvet Overload: We love everything Emily Henderson touches, but this sweeping space really takes the cake. Even though all the luxe, jewel-toned seating looks like it was designed to go together, each piece was thrifted. Those gorgeous jewel-toned chairs? Reupholstered $5 finds!

New Year, new shelves. I had a plan in my head for these shelves and I threw out that plan and did this. I’m so glad I listened to my gut once it started coming together. The black is so rich and makes the pink feel adult. 🖤💗 Next up 👉🏻 end tables and lamps near the sofa (this pretty gold one actually goes across the room). #shelfie

3. Color Play: This cozy living room feels elegant but never stuffy by pairing deep emerald and dramatic black with fun flamingo accents and a fabulous Monstera leaf platter.

4. We Like Eichler: When your home was designed by a mid-century master, it only makes sense to have the decor follow suit. A statement-making tile backsplash punches up this wood-toned kitchen.

I am reading an organisation book, which may be a relief to some, that has lots of exclamation marks and has me very upbeat. Some basic phsycology in the book involves visualising my future space/systems and letting go of negative mindsets. While this partially makes me want to get drunk and throw things around, I am working with it. Can I just say it really helps to rent or buy a house it is worth/possible to tidy up? Highly recommended (I am drinking home coffee to afford this). This is the lounge. My little one is out of frame slouched on the big couch, wearing nothing but a night nappy and watching tellie. #midcenturystyle #copper #fireplaces #rugs #lounges #armadilloandco #rachelcastleandthings #karpenter #curiousgrace #sittingroom #interiorstyling #interiordesign #architecture #modernisn #midcenturyhouses #mcm

7. Cozy-Cool: No piece packs a statement-making punch quite like a retro fireplace.

2017 brought a lot of changes for us, both good and bad/sad, but one of the best decisions we made was to leave our tiny overpriced LA apartment and move back to PS back in April. I spent some of the best new years of my life in this Hancock Park apartment with a Hollywood sign view (pictured here right before we moved), but I CAN NOT F’ING WAIT to start a fresh year in our Palm Springs pad. Byeeee 2017 👋 #FU2017

8. Not Your Mom’s Mid-Century: Flamingo pink (literally, in this case!) gives major wow factor to this feminine room. And how cute is that vintage speaker table?

9.Earth-Centric: Geometric tiles add depth to this room’s muted color palette and let the curvy lines of the light fixture and table take center stage.

Hiding out in here this week (currently online hunting for a chenille bedspread) because what I thought was a New Years hangover turned out to be a New Years cold 🤦🏻‍♀️oops

10.Fit for a ’60s Queen: Gold detailing transforms ho-hum closet doors into something truly befitting the retro-regal vibe of this bedroom.

11. Plush Touches: Complementary textures — that shaggy rug, those velvet and textile poufs, the furry cushions — add so much depth to this mid-century space.

Everyone tells new parents to nap when the baby naps but most days I've been taking that time to clean up the house instead and I find that actually makes the biggest difference in my mood. When my life feels chaotic it helps to see some sort of order when I look around (and some new pretty things like that @arrohome rug help a lot too!). I'll give this clean room about ten minutes but I'll enjoy it while it lasts! 💛💗💛 #chezgummerman

16. Confetti Brights: The perfect amount of gilding + a funfetti color palette and rug = a one-of-a-kind spin on mid-century modern.
