Welcome to another exciting journey into the world of mid-century modern design. Today, we’re diving into the quintessential elements that can truly elevate your space: tiles and wallpaper. These elements add texture and color to your space, and when paired properly with Heywood Wakefield furniture, they can create a cohesive aesthetic that brings your entire home to life.
Timeless Kitchen Tiles
When it comes to the kitchen, mid-century modern tiles are all about clean lines and vibrant colors. Think geometric patterns, subway tiles, and bold, retro colors like mint green, sunny yellow, and turquoise. These tiles can be laid in various patterns such as herringbone or staggered horizontal lines to add visual interest.
Pairing Tip: Match your mint green tiles with Heywood Wakefield’s
dining sets to create a harmonious and inviting dining space. The sleek lines of our furniture complement the crisp geometry of the tiles, bringing modern elegance to your culinary haven.
Stylish Bathroom Tiles
Bathrooms in the mid-century modern era often featured tiles that were both functional and stylish. From penny tiles to hexagon tiles, the patterns were more playful yet elegant. Focus on soft pastel colors like blush pink, powder blue, or even classic black and white.
Pairing Tip: For a chic bathroom design, pair a blush pink hexagon tile with Heywood Wakefield’s
bedroom furniture. Think about incorporating a
vanity seat or a cozy seating nook with one of our
iconic chairs. The warm tones of our furniture can balance the cooler pastels, creating a spa-like retreat right at home.
Classic Wallpaper Designs
Mid-century modern wallpaper is known for its bold patterns and striking motifs. From starbursts to abstract geometrics, these wallpapers add dynamism to any room. Popular colors include mustard yellow, olive green, and burnt orange. Don’t be afraid to go bold; these designs are meant to make a statement!
Pairing Tip: Use a dramatic geometric wallpaper in your living room and complement it with Heywood Wakefield’s
cocktail tables. Add a couple of our
well-crafted armchairs in a neutral hue to balance the room and allow the wallpaper to shine.
Integrated Home Styling
Once your walls and floors are adorned with mid-century tiles and wallpaper, it’s essential to integrate other decor elements to complete the look.
Rugs
Opt for shag rugs in neutral tones or bright, primary colors. These not only add comfort but also tie the room together. A plush orange shag rug in the living room can add warmth and style, perfect under a Heywood Wakefield
cocktail table.
Wall Decor
Lighting and artwork are crucial. Starburst clocks, abstract paintings, and bubble lamps can enhance the mid-century look. Position a vintage wall clock above a Heywood Wakefield
console table to anchor your space and create a focal point.
Bringing it All Together
When these elements are thoughtfully combined, they create a symbiotic relationship that elevates your entire home. By carefully curating each element, from the kitchen tiles to the living room wallpaper, and integrating rugs and wall decor, you can create a harmonious and visually stunning home that celebrates the essence of mid-century modern design. If you’re ready to start your mid-century modern makeover, Heywood Wakefield is here to provide the
perfect furniture pieces to bring your vision to life.
