Mid-century style is back in a big way. Its clean lines, high-quality materials, and timeless aesthetic make it one of the safest bets for those who want a home with personality, without falling into fleeting trends.
If you're thinking of incorporating this trend—or rather, this design classic—into your home, we'll tell you which are the 5 key pieces that you can't miss.
1. 🪑 A designer chair with character
Mid-century chairs are not just functional, they're true works of art. Look for models with curved backs, solid wood frames, and understated upholstery (like leather or linen).
They are perfect for the dining room, but also as a standalone piece in a special corner.
👉 Curious Tip: The Danish-inspired Wishbone model is an icon that never fails.
2. 🛋️ A low sideboard in natural wood
The sideboard is the star of mid-century style. Usually made of teak, walnut, or rosewood, it brings warmth, functionality, and elegance.
Place it in the living room, dining room or even the hallway with a mirror above it and vintage lamps on the sides.
👉 Curious Tip: Opt for horizontal lines, high legs and minimal hardware.
3. 💡 A statement lamp (pendant or floor lamp)
Mid-century lighting blends the sculptural with the industrial. Look for lamps made of brass, black steel, or geometric shapes. A good lamp can completely transform a room.
👉 Curious Tip: Sputnik-type models or arc lamps are a sure hit.
4. 📦 Functional and soulful side tables
Mid-century coffee or side tables often have organic shapes (oval, triangular) and stylized legs.
Ideal for living rooms or bedrooms, they add design without visually overloading the space.
👉 Curious Tip: Play with different levels and materials: wood, marble, glass.
5. 🖼️ An original decorative object
Mid-century style isn't just about furniture; it's also about the details. A brutalist ceramic vase, a graphic piece from the 60s, or a vintage sunburst mirror can become the finishing touch.
👉 Curious Tip: Don't fill everything at once. Let each item breathe.
