Interior Decoration In The Mid-Century Era
The look of the mid-century home
If you’ve been following us so far, you’ll know that back in December, we began sharing a chapter-by-chapter journey through our pamphlet, Mid-Century Modern: A 70-Year Success Story.
Now, we’re nearing the end with chapter six of seven, and this one feels like home, quite literally. It’s all about mid-century interiors, a topic we’ve covered countless times before. But as always, taking a closer look gave us new insights into how these spaces came to define the era.
In the previous chapter, we examined the core principles of mid-century modernism, celebrating its focus on clean lines, functionality, and innovation. Today, we’re stepping inside to see how those ideas translated into the interior design of homes across different social groups.
Driven by economic growth, the post-war years saw advancements in technology and shifts in lifestyle that shaped how people furnished and experienced their living spaces for years to come.
As usual, before diving into the story, I’d like to ask for 2 minutes of your time to fill out our Substack survey. Your feedback will help us immensely in creating stories that match your interests. Thank you in advance for your contribution!
