45 Mid-Century Modern Living Room | Design Ideas

The furniture is fine but here it is shown in unattainable houses. If these pieces had been staged in ranch houses it would be more in line with the middle class accessibility of mid century modern. This video makes mid century look like you need the million dollar homes with 12 foot ceilings to go with it.

Super!👍🇺🇦✌️

Great selection thank you and the mid century jazz goes well.!

Your music drives me nuts - but loved the pictures!!!

My DIL calls my vintage Danish teak MCM decor “early garage”. She’s into dark Victorian mahogany. Yuck.

Everything old is new again......I Dream of......

I love modern mid-century decor for its own sake, but it isn't exactly true to its inspiration. I'd call what we have now neo-mid-century modern. Probably nobody back in 1965 had rooms that looked like our present-day Austin Powers/MadMen reimagining. Most mid-century modern rooms back then had SOME modern pieces but also grandma's china cabinet, something cheesy and not geometric or abstract on the wall, and much more subdued colors on the walls and in the furnishings. And unlike most of the rooms in this video, there were lots of end tables and table lamps with drum lampshades. Today's neon pops just weren't that common back then. Also, despite the emphasis on "light and bright," it was common to see modern furniture in rooms with dark paneling, curtains, or even drapes.

Elements that were VERY common back then, though, were straight lines, and sofa/couches/chairs that were lower, narrower and had legs. People back then were not as fat as they are now and a lot of rooms were smaller or had low ceilings.

Awesome inspiration! Thanks

You couldn’t call it MCM without floor to ceiling windows

man mid century decor is so timeless i love it

Beautiful furniture and designs. Could you please list the music used in your video? Thanks!

the only things modern design has added to the vernacular is ''open concept living'' Large Screen TV's and adjustable chaise couches with ottoman tray lounging

21st Century people with their 'Open Concept' living, eating and cooking in your living room, cave dwelling, living with Mid 20th Century furnishings. well, I guess people like Louis Patooie when Jugensteil rose up

the Hanging Fireplace is an Atomic Space-Age affectation. the furniture featured looks like grandma trying to do 'modern' but staying safe with the choices. that hanging fireplace demands tulip chairs and knoll dining table with Eames chairs around a Platner coffee table.

Nice music
