The mid-century modern aesthetic is still a much-loved choice for interior schemes and we continue to inject this design into the home. Victoria Atkin shares her tips on how to bring this trend to life. 
Where there’s wood, there’s a way
“High quality wood is the go-to material for mid-century modern style. It helps to ground the scheme in nature and calls back to the teak synonymous with the original era. Use this material for tables, desk and storage pieces to give a heritage touch. Mix and match different styles of wood when coordinating drawers, side tables, media units or shelving. This will create a sense of uniqueness and an informal feel.” 
Add metallic flair
“When styling your new mid-century look, give it a contemporary hint with metallic. You can do this via lighting, or with vases and ornaments. This aesthetic is all about being cosy and familiar, so try rich tones like copper and brass to add depth.” 
Sleek and Chic
“Mid-century is defined by its clean, well-designed lines and timeless appeal. Choose furniture pieces that have a sleek presence with smooth lines, and pair with abstract accessories or artwork for contrast and interest.” 
Introduce pattern and comparison
“Mid-century modern has a playful side. Use contrasting materials such as wood and marble, and don’t forget to add in pattern and colour. Pared back rooms can be warmed using hallmark designs such as geometrics, and if the classic retro tones of mustard and orange seem too overpowering, take it back to nature with blues and greens.”
