This open floor plan does its best to connect the interior with the exterior, creating the sense of infinite. Having the right balance between natural and artificial light can emphasize volumes and shapes, adding contrast to the room. This is one of the main parameters of mid-century modern design.
But what is mid-century modern style? As a result of economic changes in Germany after the second World War, several Bauhaus architects and interior designers migrated to America, starting a design movement know as Mid-century modern, characterized by elegance, simplicity and functionality. These apartments have a neutral and solid color palette with a range of different shades of grey that pair up perfectly with the curved-line shaped furniture.
It’s easy to understand why so many design expert idolize mid-century modern style: clean lines, gentle organic lines, neutral color palettes, and the love for different materials and textures.
The juxtaposition of different materials and the minimal ornamentation are key to get a cozy and elegant bedroom décor that will make us feel relaxed and ready to recharge the batteries for the daily basis. The windowed walls makes us feel out in the world without leaving the house – something quite important nowadays due to the pandemic crisis we’re facing.
Bathtubs are the ultimate trend of 2020. Can you imagine taking a relaxing bath at the end of a stressful day with the beautiful view of Hamburg?
One of the most complicated tasks when creating an interior décor project is to find the perfect lighting and furniture. To furnish in mid-century modern might seem difficult, however buying vintage is one way to do it. The team of design experts being this luxurious project work alongside with some of the best design brands of the world, able to provide curated customized pieces that will suit any apartment! Generally, one large piece can set the tone nicely and, in this case, the chandelier on the dining area is definitely the center of attention! As you can also check on the images, the designer decided no to go for many patterns, and stayed within a color range. Navy blue was a great choice for two reasons: first, it’s Pantone Color of the Year 2020, and second, it resembles the tones of the sea.
