25 Must-Have Mid-Century Modern Furniture Pieces to Transform Your Space into a Retro Oasis

25 Cool Mid-Century Modern Furniture Pieces for a Retro Haven

Oh, the envy that strikes us when we lay our eyes on a perfectly executed mid-century modern space! We’ve all been there, my friends. Whether it’s the influence of shows like Mad Men or the endless Architectural Digest home tours of A-listers (Troye Sivan, anyone?), the yearning for those clean, retro vibes is real. But fear not, for you don’t have to hire a clouty interior designer with 35K Instagram followers to transform your humble abode into a mid-century haven. With a few simple guidelines and carefully selected starter pieces, you can bring that nostalgic charm into your home.

Chicago-based interior designer Paige Garland suggests starting with baseline shapes and colors. If you want to go for the authentic mid-century look, think olive green, tangerine orange, and warm wood tones like teak or walnut. However, if you want a more modern take on mid-century, teal is the way to go. Don’t be afraid to mix in some neutrals and play with different types of woods.

Now, let’s dive into the best mid-century modern furniture picks of 2023! These pieces will transport you straight to the era of funky patterns and sleek lines. Hold onto your seats (preferably a mid-century-inspired one) because we’re about to take you on a retro furniture roller coaster!
