Mid-Century Retro Living Room Design

Products Featured in This Design

• The Marie armchair from Wayfair in Orange is something you cannot miss. It makes a statement and is a great place to relax with plenty of room to be comfortable in. The wooden legs are an excellent addition to the look.
• To make the accent chair pop more, we’ve added a throw pillow with a Pamela Wiley striped cover from West Elm. The texture, patterns, and color is a nice contrast against the Orange of the chair.
• The seating area also has a Cavett wood frame loveseat from Crate & Barrel. It's the perfect blend of modern and retro, which is what we were looking for in this mid-century living room. The textures weave, the dramatically streamlined arms, the cantilevered seat, and the vertical slat back makes it what it is.
• Once again to create a contrast, we have placed the Roller Rabbit Jemina pillow from Anthropologie and a throw pillow with the Margo Selby dramatic geo cover from West Elm. Both of them have bold colors and patterns which makes the living room decor pop.
• There’s also a wireframe slipper chair from West Elm and a Grey Grimes pouf from Wayfair. These extend the seating area perfectly.
• The pouf is easy to move and can be shifted wherever as per requirement and the chair is the ideal single-seater for the retro style living room with its low and open profile.
• One of the stand out pieces in this mid-century, retro living room design has got to be the Seleucia hand-hooked Grey-Blue area rug from Wayfair. The distinct geometric patterns and the colors make it “groovy”, something your mid-century modern retro living room design is incomplete without, isn’t it?
• There are lots of tables and surfaces going on in this retro living room and makes having a relaxing time even easier. No matter where you’re seated, you will always have a trendy side table or something next to you or near you to keep your drinks, munchies, decor items, books, and whatever you please! This plays a significant role in making the mid-century living room ideas come to life. Each of these is easy to move and is placed as per convenience.
• There is the White Nevins tray table from All Modern with its stylish design and accented feet. The raised edges on top make it secure and safe as well.
• The trio nesting tables from West Elm. These are space-saving and super convenient. They can go from 1 to 3 in no time!
• The Margene hairpin leg wooden side table from All Modern is retro living room decor personified with its funky legs and differently shaped top.
• The Arbor 6-drawer dresser from West Elm is quite a functional piece of furniture that we decided to add to the modern retro living room design. The dresser is a beneficial thing to have in the retro living room. Its big, deep drawers provide plenty of storage space and is easy on the eyes.
• Above the dresser, there’s the Frances mirror from Pottery Barn. The clean geometric shape and modern-rustic aesthetics are what drew us to it in the first place. It is a lovely addition to the mid-century living room decor. Additionally, the mirror also adds ‘extra room’ to the modern retro living room design by adding depth and dimension to the space around it.
• The Hemnes TV unit from Ikea is placed on the other side. Combining entertainment and storage both this sustainable and sturdy unit is a must-have. The TV is very well on this one.
• Next to the unit is a Markham tripod floor lamp from Pottery Barn. Crafted from Iron, the main tripod stand of this floor lamp is what brings all the compliments. The antique nickel finish and the linen-cotton lampshade makes it an ideal living room decor in this modern-retro space. To top it all, it’s a very convenient source of lighting as well for the mid-century retro living room, evenly distributing the light across the space.
• Above the TV unit are some very creative storage/shelving units.
• The EKET cabinet in white stained oak and the wall-mounted cabinet from Ikea is a storage dream come true. These cabinets are simple solutions that are incredibly space-saving (it's up on the wall, not taking up any amount of floor space!). You can keep books, magazines, decor items, little succulents, photo frames, and even small games you can use for family game night. They are super sturdy and easy to assemble, making them score top marks in functionality. Crucial pieces to the modern retro living room.
• In the corner, there’s a Hemnes 2 drawer chest from Ikea in White. It’s long-lasting and a very reliable piece of furniture to stay in the retro style living room. Its compact shape and size make it convenient, and its sleek and elegant appearance makes it a stylish piece.
• The mid-century retro living room has some very eye-catching pieces of living room decor included.
• The brushed hurricane candle holder from Pottery Barn is retro-chic at its best. The metallic finish and blown glass is a match made in heaven, and once the candles are inside and lit, it’s beautiful - just what you need for some mood lighting in the evening.
• We love the Frankfurt deer head from Wayfair. Different, quirky, and definitely a statement piece, this living room decor piece is a great conversation starter.
• The Iris planter and the chevron stand from West Elm is the final piece of the modern retro living room design puzzle. It adds some freshness to the living room decor, and the stand by itself is quite a beauty. In contrast to its appearance, the chevron stand is relatively light and can be moved around with ease. You can choose to keep your favorite plant in it whenever you please.
