"The Delmar rug is the perfect mix of simple and fun: the imperfect stripes make it feel like a party, while still remaining pretty neutral. The whisler coffee table was a no-brainer from the moment I laid eyes on it! The contrast between the sophisticated metal base and the wood top makes this piece an inviting option for a variety of styles." —Zoe Hunt of Crafted by the Hunts
"The legs on this coffee table steal the show: they're modern, interesting, and versatile. Also, this minimalist concrete side table has maximal style and would be perfect in any industrial or modern living space!" —Laura Sima of Sima Spaces
"We love this patterned Ginsberg rug for any space in the home. The subtle pop of color and geometric design gives any room a mid-century modern feel. And who doesn't love gold and glass? This versatile bar cart reflects the clean-lined aesthetic of the 50s and 60s. It will make a great table side or couch side cocktail station. Let's face it, we all need that!" —Jordan Slocum & Barry Bordelon of Brownstone Boys
"I love how this black and white graphic art print is bold yet simple so it can easily blend with any home decor. It's an easy way to add a touch of mid-century style to your walls! Bookcases are also a great way to display mementos from travels, favorite books, pictures, and decor pieces. This mid-century modern bookcase really makes a statement with its unique shape and metal accents, which add even more visual interest!" —Blair Thayer of This + That Blog
"The use of straight lines and right angles is the most aesthetically pleasing thing about Mid-Century Modern design for me, and these pieces are wonderful examples of that." —Alex Tice Gray of Impressive Spaces
"I love to include poufs in just about every living room I design. They are fun, casual, versatile and provide extra seating when you have a bigger group. Also, the detailing on this pouf is just gorgeous! And the Andy armchair is stylish, playful, and a great first mid-century piece for someone who wants to dip their toe into the style, because it would look great in just about any space. Plus, you can build on it over time with other furniture and accessories." —Jessica Welling of Jessica Welling Interiors
"I loved the lines of both of these pieces, they were Mid-Century Modern with a feminine touch" —Janelle Burnett of Burnett Bungalow
"I love the Jaron 10-light chandelier and the Blu Dot TV Stand because they boast beautiful details, but they are simple enough to complement any modern room." —Lucy Jo Bowman of Lucy Jo Home
"When I think of Mid-Century Modern, I think of clean, straight lines. I chose this arched lamp since it adds the perfect amount of a curve to break up the straight lines, while also bringing in light! The marble base is a great way to tie this lamp in with other decor as well. I've also always loved mixing textures, so when I saw the wood base mixed with a faux-marble top on this coffee table, I knew it was perfect for a Mid-Century Modern living room!" —Moriah Robinson of She's That Girl Guide
