Welcome to our comprehensive guide on mastering modern decor with a focus on achieving mid-century style without breaking the bank. In this 2023 guide, we'll show you how to infuse your home and garden with mid-century flair while staying budget-conscious.
1. Texture: Adding Depth and Interest
To kickstart your journey towards mid-century modern decor, consider incorporating tactile surfaces and materials into your living spaces. Textured wallpapers, rugs, and throws are fantastic choices to add depth and interest to a room. Mid-century design favored fabrics like Tweed, Bouclé, Felted Wool, and Smooth Velvet, often adorned with geometric patterns. Luckily, these are readily available today. Check out AlveraNest for cushions, rugs, and more with authentic mid-century patterns.
If you can't replace your furniture, don't worry! You can introduce mid-century vibes with decorative pillows featuring period-specific patterns or by hanging stylish mid-century-themed posters. Explore our collection of posters here.
