The Mid-century style is inspired by the most iconic pieces designed by known names like Ray Eames, Arne Jacobsen and Harry Bertoia. This style is a modern reflection of the Bauhaus movement, using simple shapes and mixing artistic lines with the functionality of the product. The Mid-century style uses elements of the industrial production and materials like glass, metal, concrete and wood. Nature is also a very important element in this style. Every space is fluid and has a harmonious integration between Nature and the industrial elements and materials.

Whenever you want to recreating a Mid-century ambience in your house, in this case the entryway of your home, you need to choose pieces of furniture with a clean, sophisticated and inclusive design that have the power to outstand time.

An entryway totally decorated with one single colour with no patterns...clean and sophisticated. You are able to choose a nice combination of two or three different colours, but you are also free to choose an entryway totally decorated with one single colour, without a single pattern and yet harmonious. The grey set that you see in the picture looks stunning, clean and sophisticated, that has a special shine with just a few delicate glints of golden details that come from the table and wall lamps.

There are a few pieces of furniture and accessories that are a must have inside an entryway. Is it because of the style or the functionality, consider adding a nice wall lamp and a comfortable armchair if you want an impeccable and infallible combination of design. As you can see in the picture, you can fill the entrance of your home with a refine charm, by using a modern wall lamp for subtle and smooth lighting effect.

We have already seen a few amazing Mid-century interior design ideas with the special focus on entryways. And it’s already a fact that Mid-century style is all about a minimalist design, an uncompromised retro style and strong presence, frequently relying on straight lines and metals. In the picture, you can see a sophisticated entrance being enhanced by the golden, delicate and straight lines that are featured by the elegant console, with golden metal legs and shelf, and the mirror on the wall, also with a golden metal frame. The dark green marble of the console completes the set and reinforces the strong presence of the entire composition.

BASIE LAMP BY DELIGHTFULL

119


Mid-century floor lamps and table lamps feature either very straight, geometric lines or round, curved contour. The very contrasting shapes offer a very bold position for lighting in your entryway. Table lamps like the one seen in the picture (Basie table lamp by Delightfull) are not simply lamps. You don’t choose this accessory just by its functionality. It’s the golden details; it’s the modern and irreverent design and, sometimes, a piece of art that you want to show to your guests. Consider placing an elegant and golden metal table lamp on top of a classic dark wooden console to recreate an interior design composition that is elegant and much superior to time or style boundaries.

Design is a tool that allows us to reach out and inspire, to touch others and help make lives magic and wonderful. MARCEL WANDERS Feel free to use upholstery, rugs and decor with just a solid colour. A strong and bright vivid blue, just like the one featured by Mansfield Armchair by Essential Home seen in the picture, may be the perfect element to bring colour and a special touch to your entrance. More, it can actually be the only colourful item inside the entryway. Lighting solutions are an endless source of decorative items to complete the functionality side of the entryway of your home and also the style setter of the composition. In the field of lighting, be bold and creative and keep using your judgment and personal taste to identify what fits with the rest of the interior design composition.

We have talked about the importance of lamps when defining or completing the interior design of an entryway. But lamps are not the only relevant accessories when designing a place inside your home. Another key piece of furniture that can enhance any interior design set is, without doubts, an armchair. And that also applies to entryways. They can be the colour setter, they can add comfort to the place and more, armchairs can be truly iconic pieces. They are also essential if you want to make a strong statement without ever losing sight of elegance and sophistication. Choose pieces with a retro design that recall a bohemian style, just like Dandridge Armchair by Essential Home on the picture.

“Design is an opportunity to continue telling the story, not just to sum everything up.� TATE LINDEN 129


In the picture above, you can see an interior decoration that can be easily recreated in an entryway. Actually, it is more than a simple entryway. It is a warm ambience highlighted by the brown colours and the warm light given by the floor lamp. And instead of an armchair, you have a brown leather ottoman. The cosiness is taken to an upper level with the big soft rug on the floor. It’s the perfect invitation for your home, giving the idea that is a place you want to stay inside, the perfect refuges from the outside world. Floor lamps, just like the Duke Floor Lamp by Delightfull, seen in the picture, with short silhouettes and a single swing can make all the difference in an interior design composition.

The entryway featured by the picture shows how well different patterns can work together. The dark green wall matches perfectly with the pattern from the rug. The floor lamp is elegant and its versatile design makes it the perfect lighting solution for the ambiance. It holds several spotlights with flexible arms, which makes possible to direct light in different directions and recreate a cosy and warm ambience. Also, it is the ideal partner to highlight your wall paintings, without stealing their shine. The truth is when it comes to lighting solutions, there are numerous options that have the strength to define the entire style of the decoration. Choose lamps with reduced shapes and clean lines for a stunning entryway. (Ike FIoor Lamp by Delightfull)

The single most important key to success is to be a good listener. KELLY WEARSTLER Whenever you are searching for interior design ideas and inspiration, the first thing to do is listening. If the project is for a client, then you must listen to his/her preferences and tastes without ever forgetting the context for functionality and needs. If it is a personal project, then you must listen to yourself and let your house reflect who you are.

“The details are not the details. They make the design.� CHARLES EAMES This project is very influenced by the mid-century style, using elements of the industrial in harmony with nature. We can see this through the materials chosen to create the room, such as wood for the walls, velvet for the chair, marble side table and gold plated floor lamp. Another characteristic that can be seen on this project is the Diamond mirror, that uses simple shapes but with a very artistic twist.

Entryway by Delightfull: Parker wall lamp by Delightfull


When designing an interior, light is always an element that can change the mood of a room. It can add value to a room size. A seamless combination of functionality and style comes together when the right furniture work in conjunction with the right light. This featuring floor lamp is a reminiscent lamp of the golden years of space. The Neil floor lamp is constructed of brass tubing using the classic method of bending the brass twice into a rounded oblong shape. It allows for bright and load casts of light holding spherical diffusers with a retro-futuristic style of that era. It has 3 arms with adjustable lights, creating a versatile piece and giving a good peripheric light range. The elegance of the continuous flowing centre tubes gives a floating sensation to the whole piece, that would be perfect for a beautiful light living room or in a cosy lobby.
