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.

Playing with space and luminosity was the initial attraction.
When creating this room light was really important. Playing with space and luminosity was the initial attraction, so the choice of light was really important. The suspension lamp, by Delightfull, Coltrane, will make you feel the deep connection with innovation and the expressive music in jazz. Taking these powerful connections created by John Coltrane, this design will outstand time. And theTurner table is simply a head turner. Inspired by Tina Turner’s dance moves it has an art deco shape with the possibility of rotating its arcs into the desired position so that you can create your favorite composition at any time. The lines and the volumes go seamlessly together, creating a great balance, making this space feel very spacious and a wonderful first impression.

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.

Mid-century furniture is easily identified by their straight, clean lines accented with smooth, curved angles. They rarely feature any fancy ornamentation or upholstery. This minimalist design commonly relies on wooden construction, but can also include fibreglass or metal. They usually only have one or two colours. Considering the most frequent accessories used to decorate an entryway, you can place a modern floor lamp featuring a golden colour and straight lines, side by side with an elegant and comfortable white velvet armchair to get a high level of sophistication. A soft rug with pastel and neutral colours can always be the perfect accessory when you want to add extra comfort, cosiness and warmth to a place.

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.

Ideas ARE CHEAP
ALWAYS BE PASSIONATE ABOUT IDEAS AND COMMUNICATING THOSE IDEAS AND DISCOVERIES TO OTHERS IN THE THINGS YOU MAKE. CHARLES EAMES
BASIE LAMP BY DELIGHTFULL
107
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.

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.

In order to compose a perfect Mid-century interior design set in the entryway of your house, bear in mind iconic pieces of furniture and accessories to nail it. Iconic table lamps are an easy way to recall the 50’s soul and make a strong statement and get an impressive entryway.

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)

Design is an opportunity to continue telling the story, not just to sum everything up. TATE LINDEN The Mid-century modern style can be defined as an architectural, interior, product and graphic style that describes in perfection all the mid-20th-century developments conquered in modern design, architecture and urban development from roughly 1933 to 1965. Its simple and fresh aesthetic arose from a desire to propel post-war America into the modern era and recast design through a bold new lens. Make use of lighting solutions, such as elegant and straight wall lamps, to recreate this Mid-century modern style inside the entryway of your house.

ESSENTIAL HOME | Ellen armchair
It’s never too much talking about the importance of a beautiful armchair inside any interior decoration composition. An armchair can be a truly piece of art that complies high-end fabrics, eye catching colours and a mesmerizing design. They are fundamental to bring comfort and sophistication into any room, especially to an entryway. The entryway is not simply an area. The entryway is where you receive your guests and how you can influence how the rest of the house will be seen. Bear in mind that, unforgettable places are made of unforgettable icons. And the icon of an everlasting entryway style can easily be a sculptural and elegant eye-indulging armchair, just like this Ellen Armchair by Essential Home.

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.

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.

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.

The modern classic style is inspired by some iconic styles like Victorian and Art Deco but always combined with modern and minimalistic styles. The style is not the most modern but is up-to-date and very trendy. The color palette is often based on different tones of browns, beiges, blacks, whites and greys.
Neutral Colors work so well as a base as it keeps an interior looking fresh and styled without appearing dated. You can then use color to accent or highlight using star pieces of furniture, accessories or art. KELLY HOPPEN

Open the door to a sophisticated contemporaneity and choose design pieces that combine the classic style with the most refined tastes from modern times. A background with the walls painted in neutral and light colours is all you need to start the decoration and give light to the entire area. In terms of furniture, you don’t always need several pieces to decorate the entryway. When the motto is ‘less is more’, a simple classic golden chair with an eye-catching mirror with small golden details can be the perfect formula to create an impressive and unique ambience in an entryway that is meant to be the perfect invitation to rest of the house.

There are several options of classic pieces of furniture that are usually automatically associated to entryways. And with all those options, you basically have two options. You can either go with the flow or be original enough to make a strong statement of uniqueness and sophistication. One of those classic pieces that can be seen as must-have in an entryway is a mirror. Mirrors comprise a History full of mysteries and legends. But if you want to be original, then the secret here is to pick a model that, with its distinctiveness, doesn’t need anything else around it. Recreate a stunning mysterious ambience with a single mirror like this Marie Antoinette by Boca do Lobo and the set will be complete.

Add only a few modern details to the classic composition and the result could only be perfection. What could be a better inspiration source for interior design than History? History left us a precious heritage of eternal and iconic pieces of furniture that have the power to be completely up-to-date decade after decade, century after century. And if you combine them with modern and elegant lighting pendants, for instance, the interior design set will be polished enough to conquer the most refined tastes.

One very important aspect (and maybe the most crucial starting point) in interior design is that your house is the most immediate reflection of your personality. And, at the same time, the entryway is the very first thing you get to see from a house. With that in mind, think of what you are and how you want others to see you before decorating an entryway. The combination of the warm and earthy colours from the picture is perfect if you want to recreate a romantic and seductive entryway. Complete that hypnotising ambience with a simple and elegant white velvet armchair by a side table and mirror with elegant and Nature-inspired details.

Sometimes, opposites work pretty fine together Sometimes, opposites have the ability to work pretty fine together. And in the modern classic design, you have the freedom to combine several different materials, textures, patterns and even colours without the risk of failing. Consider an outstanding wood cabinet like Patch Cabinet by Boca do Lobo, which is truly iconic, by a high-gloss black side table on a soft and fluffy rug to warm the set.

As we have already mentioned, an entryway is basically the faรงade of your home, the very first room of it that your guests get to see and experience. Make a strong statement with golden details and the softness of velvet, symbols of a wealthy and opulent lifestyle.

Nature is simple, elegant and provides the most wonderful colourful palette compositions. Gia II Chandelier by Koket recalls one of the most elegant flowers and shows how flexible the golden tone is. From the immense family of the yellow shades, you can combine golden with an infinite list of colours and materials, such as blue velvet for an impeccable and sharp entrance.

It’s a fact that there are several possible compositions to decorate a hallway. And it’s also a fact that interior design is not exactly a precise science. It comes from the soul, from feelings, memories and needs. And your house is your most sacred place. Fill it with good energies and enlighten it with unique pieces of furniture that are a pleasure to the eye day after day. In the picture above, the entryway has the excellent advantage of receiving some natural light from the other room and, with the selected interior design, that shine was enlightened even more with the neutral and beige wallpaper and the golden hoops from the console.

Everything is about colour. If you look at magazines and advertising and television, the thing you remember is the colour KELLY WEARSTLER
Before starting with an entryway decoration, you need to pay close attention to Nature. Take a great and close look at how colours merge naturally with one another. Pick a strong and vivid colour and you can start decorating from it. Recreate a bold and unforgettable scenario in your entryway with it. It can be a full painted wall, a marble surface or a simple detail like an armchair.

But, in order to get a decoration that comprises that style, you don’t always need to use large pieces of furniture or a combination of several expensive accessories. It’s all about the quality of the materials and the style featured by the pieces chosen to decorate a room. Sometimes, all you need to reach for perfection and a superior entryway composition is a lighting fixture that embraces the elegance of glass with the richness of the gold colour. A small detail like a wall lamp can work as a true piece of art and make all the difference in the entire decoration.

They may not talk, but they have the power to say a lot about the owner. It’s a fact that time passes really quickly and that makes everything in a constant change, especially in the world of fashion and interior design. There were times that people looked more at the functionality of their homes. And apart from the style beneath it, function was the key aspect to consider. Furniture is not only about functionality anymore. Pieces of furniture like consoles can do so much more that hold vases and family pictures. They may not talk, but they have the power to say a lot about the owner. Consoles like the one pictured here have the ability to reflect an excellent good taste, the constant look for uniqueness and to be unique and cause a strong and unforgettable impression.

Interior design is an art of giving shape to memories and experiences, of capturing personalities and lifestyles, of telling stories. KELLY WEARSTLER | Double chain link
Painting and sculpture are branches of visual arts that play with dimensions and different materials. They are expression of the soul and give origin to worth seeing objects. And don’t have one single interpretation. Just like painting and sculpture, interior design can also be considered as another branch of visual arts that give life to memories and experiences, capture personalities and lifestyles, tell stories in the shape of a house decoration. Instead of brushes or plaster, the creator, in this case the interior designer, makes use not only of wood, metals and fabrics, but also of rugs, cabinets and lamps. In all cases, the result is a true piece of art.
