Mid-Century Modern is our MUSE

It isn’t every day that we walk into a space for a photoshoot and feel the creative floodgates burst open before even setting the camera up. At times, it never really happens at all, and we’re forced to resort to our go-to framing and perspectives. One way to get us feeling immediately inspired is to create a Mid-Century Modern masterpiece: a beautifully reminiscent nod to the past, present, and future. Enter ‘exhibit A’ (above).

Edith Whorton, the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Literature, always held that “true originality consists not in a new manner but in a new vision”, and it seems that the MCM style of design really takes that concept to heart. It benefits greatly from the footprint of past design movements, reinventing itself constantly through sleek new visions of the “older manner” while still preserving the essence of each piece.

I know what you’re thinking: stunning, sure, but how could I possibly recreate something similar for myself? Well GET EXCITED, because we’ve teamed up with AllModern to show you just how you can get this look from their extensive selection of furniture and home-furnishings. Use this interactive mood board as a good starting point (below, click the product names), then take advantage of the “Compare Similar Items” and “Customers Also Viewed” suggestions once you click onto a product you like, and you’ll be well on your way to your own Mid-Century Modern oasis.

A few clicks in and you’ll see it becomes really easy to fall down the MCM rabbit hole, with so many different variations on specific pieces that you could recreate the same feel a hundred times over and never reuse a single one. It allows you to put your own flare on whatever space you end up creating. Nothing in this mood board is an exact match to the photos above, but let’s be honest, expressing your unique point-of-view is really the fun of design in the first place, isn’t it?
