I like the bold graphics, the Andy Warhol like pictures, the pink pillows on the couch. I had my first apartment in 1977 and obviously, it was fairly modern in style. Parson table, bentwood rocker, lots of plants. I even made a 3 foot plant holder by using an empty cylinder that had been used to hold upholstery fabric and cover it with silver, mirror shelf lining paper. Ha ha! I still have the baskets that I grouped together on the wall and actually, I found almost all of them and about six months ago, hung them up in my living room! I love it.

Being old enough to remember the period, normal everyday people didn't have all that crazy art on their walls, only the teenagers did. Most only had one weird thing in their house and stayed pretty normal. they did the color thing with throws and furniture covers, but kept the basics. Some lamps would be popular, but most of this furniture you either saw in the movies or in the "pads" of the upper class in magazines.

@lulubelle65 2 жыл бұрын

My parents had danish modern furniture and very groovy lighting. Also Marimekko fabric stretched onto large panels instead of art. I think it really depends on exactly when people set up their homes. My aunt and uncle who were only a few years older had the colonial stuff and the wood paneling instead.

I’d love a fileting about how the various midcentury modern flavours ties into Scandi. Bc (speaking as a Swede) early midcentury pretty much jives w Scandi in shape (but stronger colours) but once you’re into sunken pits, weird colours and hippie fonts it seriously feels like the connection is gone

@Heyu7her3 Жыл бұрын

Even though it emerged in the mid-1900s, Scandinavian design would be considered just "modern". I think these days, Scandi designs will incorporate a few pieces or elements from other design styles, but yeah, Ikea aesthetic wouldn't be considered mid-century modern.

I just remembered how much I loved the office interiors at the beginning of the Madmen series and also how much I loved the living room when they moved into their new home that was French inspired with that amazing chaise. I think my favorite point of the mid-century modern era must be when they were transitioning between the late 50s and early 60s. Something about open concept spaces, natural elements, an abundance of light, and luxe statement pieces. Thank you for covering this!!

We have lots of cherry wood cabinets which look fantastic with the bright colors now. I smile with delight when people compliment our happy decor.

I love mid century modern. I inherited my childhood home and it is filled with late mid century modern mixed with traditional mahogany furniture. Somehow it works. I adore the mix. I always wanted Barcelona chairs but they are so expensive. A few years ago I found a pair with one ottoman at an estate sale for $350 total! Oh yes! A dream come true. So I added those into the mix . They make me happy. I don't like living with loud colors so various rooms are painted soft blue, soft green, and ivory. The art work is soft colors too. Not pastel. Somehow it all looks beautiful together. So even though I have a lot of mid century modern furniture I would describe my "style " as eclectic. Not sure if that is a style but it suits me. Fun video.

Also the history of it and the memories, refections as a little girl. MCM has class without being snobby. LOL! I enjoy it best with a TIKI cocktail drink and listening to Dean Martain on the HI-FI. YUP, MCM is a design and an emotion. It is also fun to dust and vacuum in heels and pearls!

I have a late 1950’s mid century ranch and have been scouring the internet for inspiration and education. I’m originally from Palm Springs, and that PS look is my favorite, but our ranch is going to remain aesthetic. We even still have the inhome and outdoor speakers. They’re non working but in hopes of bringing him back to life in some fashion. Love everything you do! Love this episode. (We bought this ranch earlier this year and live in Knoxville) Just got done watching your tiny bathroom episode. We are not changing the bones of the house, we are keeping it original and I’m learning to love my tiny master bathroom. We just moved from a 3300 square-foot home where I had a bathroom the size of a kids bedroom, so this has been an adjustment. 🤣It’s a wonderful adjustment, but I’m learning to utilize my space much better.

Just like Lisa states, there is no chance to fail with some classic pieces, like the Wishbone Chair (Wegner), the Tulip Table (Saarinen) or the Barcelona Chair (van er Rohe). They don't have to be the original ones, often quite expensive, but well crafted, with care. Manhattan Home Design is a good place to look for.

@m-j.9509 2 жыл бұрын

I had that black and white herringbone dress! OMG, I feel so old! I'm a minimalistic kind of person. Clean lines, simple but elegant and comfortable furniture is what I love. Loved this video and I've lived through the mid-century modern era. My personal tastes lean more toward a less is more classic modern with a splash of simple elegance. Barcelona chairs (I have two originals in chocolate brown) and a Saarinen Dining Table, (round with marble top) are my base pieces. Don't go crazy on me when I tell you that I've paired the dining table with charcoal grey Emeco Navy repurposed plastic chairs. I know, what was I thinking, but I do believe in doing my part in a small way to be eco-friendly. The chairs are amazingly comfortable and don't take up very much room. If you haven't seen them in the plastic form (Emeco in partnership with Coca-Cola), check them out, you will be surprised how durable and good they look. I also have a custom made charcoal grey tuxedo tight back sofa.. The tricky part is to not mix too much in my space to lose the individual beauty of each piece and yet have a cohesive look. I'm considering adding either a bent glass or Noguchi coffee table into my open concept living/dining room. Too much? I'm also trying to figure out a light fixture over the dining table. I'm moving so I'm rethinking how to best use the pieces I have and what would be good additions or deletions. My husband is always in fear that I will sell or give away pieces as he loves to hang on to things and I am the exact opposite.

This is great. Mid-century Modern is often weird, sometimes ugly, and frequently surprising. I love being able to see what people can do with it that is pleasing without looking like they are living in "The Jetsons." Going through this with you, I realize how depressing I find the early part of the era, how silly I find the middle portion, and the latter years of it are pleasing to the eye in many ways, but too much like movie sets that one would not wish to live in. Sort of the latter part of the epoch is a place that would be fun to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there. I must say, when you started showing us current rooms done in the style and breaking it down for us, I found most of them to be aesthetically pleasing in many ways. It may be that as reinterpretations with modern materials, they dispensed with extremes and some of the kitsch. The green room you showed was doable thanks to natural light and the artificial lighting chosen. This was fun and made it seem possible to live with this stuff. LOL.

You look great - as always 🤩. When I was able to afford the Eames Lounge Chair, I was completely over the moon for a few days. My grandma gave me the Knoll sofa shortly before. It has since been reupholstered but is still one of my favorite pieces. The thing about midcentury pieces, though, is that good design pieces and excellent quality are outrageously expensive. My style is also more transitional, especially after the great Biedermeier furniture has fallen in price and the clear lines can be combined well.

Design Within Reach sells a lot of mid century furniture and textiles. I have a wish list if items from this store. 💗

4:42, fun fact : that's Oliver and Lisa Douglas' apartment in the opening to ''Green Acres'' the 60's sitcom, the living room and the terrace. it's so iconic you don't miss it. check it out. Quick Note for Decor Fun, the book ''Interior Desecrations'' lots of laughs.

Is it okay to mix styles? We have a round tulip dining table and tulip chairs with a Sputnik hanging lamp in the dining room, but a lot of wood tones and danish modern furniture in the living room

Favorite video so far. Mid century modern is my favorite period. I love all interior design styles truly but the one I have for my living room at the moment is mid century. I enjoy more of these period/era videos if you could do more. I love the history lesson, Hollywood references followed by the tips in how to achieve the look. Your content is very entertaining but ultimately helpful. Reminds me of my art history teacher in college ❤️

I’m not sure how KZfaq works and if you will ever see this, seeing as the video is from 9 months ago, however, I have a question. We have a very expensive mistake in our house. I chose a teal blue leather sofa a couple of years ago which I am finding hard to paint/decorate around now. I am trying to choose paint colours for the main floor that has light hardwood floors and to be determined kitchen & entryway flooring. I feel like white is my only option. I realize that I am likely not giving you enough information but do you have any suggestions?

I think I like the case goods best about mid century modern. Although I get confused as to why some have splayed legs and some are not. Is that also depending on the time? (I prefer the straight legs.)

Ooo . . . MCM is a style I struggle with. I love the occasional oddly shaped piece mixed in with other styles, but the full-on treatment is a no for me. Maybe because I remember when it got super mainstream back in the late 60s. The great thing about it is it wears like iron, so you can get great value for thrift store prices . . . you know, if it's your thing.
