An Urban Mid-Century Living Room with Warm Accents Design

Products Featured in This Design

• Simplicity and style are the two things that make this mid-century urban living room what it is.
• We borrowed a lot of industrial elements from our favorite brands, as it went so well with the overall theme. In this urban living room, you’ll find a lot of exposed components, rugged textures, and some sturdy materials. You will also find that the color palette of this mid-century living room is very earthy and warm, mostly aligned to nude and neutral shades contrasted by whites.
• In this modern living room, we left the wooden floor exposed as it adds to the ruggedness of the style. To break the monotony, we added an Alvarez garden hand-tufted rug by Crate and Barrel - a durable, sturdy handcrafted carpet with an intricate pattern.
• The Kate leather sectional from Wayfair, the Bartlet reclaimed wood coffee table from Pottery Barn, and the Tamsen storage bench also from Pottery Barn make up the main seating area in the mid-century style living room. The combination of leather, wood, and fabric makes the composition look very hardy. The bench is a great storage idea with its nailhead accents and hinged lid for easy opening. And the reclaimed coffee table has a lovely rustic-distressed finish, which is also, oh so chic!
• Leather and wood are two of the main elements that we’ve used repeatedly in several decor items and accessories in the mid-century living room, and that’s because they make quite the statement. In addition to the sectional and the coffee table, we’ve got the pair of Kirkham tufted leather stools from Pottery Barn that are effectively distressed for an antique look along with a sleek Bronze base finish. The handcrafted Balustrade salvaged wood console table from Restoration Hardware, is probably one of the unique pieces that have gone into making this industrial urban style living room. It makes for a magnificent showpiece next to the window with potted plants on top and the Lauren TV stand from Wayfair, which is a simple and functional storage piece, great for keeping your remote, books, magazines, and more.
• The Nena metal and wood display and the Bluxome end table with storage, both from Wayfair, are clever ways to include storage in the room without deviating from the theme. These two items just add on to the functionality of the mid-century living room design, creating space for knick-knacks, toys, magazines, and whatever have you.
• Now lighting plays a critical role in a mid-century living room with modern industrial influences, and this urban living room is no exception. The lighting options here are very straight cut - The Tripod task floor lamp from Pottery Barn, the Bitner light pendant from Wayfair, and the Lander antique Bronze sconce from Crate and Barrel. Also, all the lights have a metallic touch and have a clean, contemporary look about them all.
• The Wells accent mirror from Wayfair deserves a special mention here because it is just the perfect fit for the lighting and the other decor accessories with its steel frame and industrial aesthetics. It maximizes the light and makes the room appear larger.
• The mid-century living room design incorporates more than just stunning statement pieces. Some of the other decor items that help in completing the look- The throw blanket from Crate and Barrel, Rattan baskets from Etsy that brings in yet another texture to the room (and perfect for keeping those cozy blankets), the throw pillows that adorn the sectional from Restoration Hardware, Wayfair and Pottery Barn and the Macrame wall hanging from Wayfair that hangs next to the lovely wall art above the TV.
• Mid-century modern is an excellent option for those who want to add authentic vintage to their living room but not in a stuffy way. The design style is one that is functional, practical, durable, and free of fuss. All this and more have been incorporated in this lovely space in order to create the perfect design for the perfect mid-century living room with a modern industrial feel.
