These Midcentury Modern Living Rooms Put Retro Back on the Map
March 17, 2023 - This midcentury Palm Springs house is going way beyond the design playbook, and we’re not complaining. Give that retro look a contemporary spin with chic all-black seating and juxtaposing loud-and-proud wall bling—red triptych by artist Ko Kirk Yamahira—that anchors the fireplace wall.

How do you make a modern (2018) house have that cozy-vintage-home-from-the-1800s-vibe?
Crown moulding, taller baseboards, and other types of moulding like chair railings, wainscoting, and other door/window framing embellishments! They add so much character to a space. More on reddit.com

My work-in-progress Mid-century Modern home - Any tips/suggestions for simple and cheap changes that I should make?

I really like your house. It has a distinctive style that isn't overwhelming. It's fun, has some amazing pieces, and definitely feels like a home. I would want to spend time in those rooms.

Nitpicks: Most of the art is way too small for their placements. The one lone piece across from the niche by the door, the abstract one over the armoire in the dining room, the one small clock in the kitchen, even the guest room paint by numbers looks so dwarfed compared the wall its on. Try finding larger pieces for those spaces, and then group the small ones you have to fill the space.

Do you use the clocks? If not, I would suggest taking most of them and grouping them all on one wall, like the kitchen wall or the dining room (and switch the bird sculpture into the kitchen). Again, many of them are too small where they are and are getting lost. By making a group you highlight a beautiful collection and fill up space in a balanced way.

Tchotchkes. I love what you have, they are just too cluttered on each surface so they are getting lost. The fireplace mantel should have the sunburst and then maybe just the animal statues. The dining room armoire needs to be pared down. One idea would be to use the china cabinet not just to show the awesome place settings, but also the pottery and candlesticks mixed up in it. More like a china bookcase type feel. You could also tack/tape up a printed paper to the back of the china cabinet to bring some pattern into the dining room. A lighter background would soften the largeness of the cabinet and would pop the plates.

None of your candlesticks have candles in them! Go get a box of long thin white tapers and put them in. You don't have to light them, but they will add height and drama.

Finally, think about switching out the two chairs by the fireplace for one of you other eames loungers. There may not be room for it, but I'm wondering if having the couch and two matching eames chairs might not make a cleaner look instead of 3 mismatching chairs.

This is long, so it probably comes off very negative. I swear, I love your house! Just thought I would throw out some ideas. Also, I love that you have blankets in almost every room. I'm a blanket person and it made every room feel super cozy. All together a really beautiful home.

Inspiration: Retro 1959 Home Magazine Features Mid-Century Modern Courtyard Homes |
September 30, 2013 - I recently purchased a vintage House & Garden Magazine at an estate sale in south Kansas City. The issue was published in April of 1959, and focuses on leisure. The courtyard house, which was a growing trend in 1959, “makes the most of leisure”. This type of home is what almost all of my buyers want these days; it is too bad so few of them exist!

How To Do Mid-Century Modern The "Modern" Way RIGHT From A Famous Music Manager And His Wildly Talented Mother (A True Design Dream Team) - Emily Henderson
June 27, 2022 - Then to the upper right is a modern smaller horizontal piece followed by a piece on the lower left that I can’t tell what it is aside from also having a white frame. Oh and notice how they played with uneven spacing! Lastly, note the mix of European antique-style pitchers next to a tiered display of Warhol soup mugs. It’s pretty freaking fun. So is that orange pendant:) This is Brandon’s bedroom and it’s an oasis. Given that he said this house is a little more color than he typically goes for, it’s no surprise that his primary suite is more on the neutral side.

1 week ago - George Fred Keck, his brother Willam Keck, Henry P. Glass, Mies van der Rohe, and Edward Humrich created mid-century modern residences in the Chicago area. Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House is extremely difficult to heat or cool, while Keck and Keck were pioneers in the incorporation of passive solar features in their houses to compensate for their large glass windows.
