Mid century modern interior style emphasises function and is a coming together of graphic design and interior design. If you like mixing things up, then this style will suit you. It combines natural and manmade materials such as vinyl and plastic, vibrant colours and muted tones, geometric shapes and organic curves. Minimal ornamentation and simple practical layouts hero key pieces of furniture and architectural features of the home such as wood paneling. House plants and sculptures mix with designer furniture, and bold patterns to create an interior design style that is as popular today as it was in 1950.
Shutters beautifully frame the big picture windows of mid century modern homes, and let the outdoors in; another key distinguishing feature of this style is how it incorporates nature in its design. The versatility of shutters to provide complete privacy or open up to let in maximum light, ventilation and view, seems truly in keeping with the beautiful contradiction that this style is.
