• The Brucknell mid-century style wooden end table from Wayfair with its two-toned finish is a classic modern piece. Placed next to the sofa it’s useful for keeping books, mugs, small plates and more.
• The Verdie Tribal stitches lumbar cotton pillow, and the Tribal cotton throw pillow from All Modern has lively patterns that make the sofa in the urban living room look even more inviting. They’re great decor options to have in a mid-century modern living room decor. The Jema black and White throw from CB2 make the seating area design complete, and it’s great for chilly evenings when all you want to do is cozy up with a good read or a hot cuppa.

• The Keagan Gray area rug from Wayfair comes with geometric patterns on it. It’s subtle and sophisticated - just what you need adorning the floor of a mid-century living room.
• A floor lamp with shaded arc and Marble base from Target is placed in the corner, and the telescoping adjustable table lamp from West Elm against the wall on the console table. Between the two, the living room is always brightly lit and inviting.
• The Folsom console table from Pottery Barn acts as a shelving space. The simple and geometric construction draws upon some of the most characteristic features of a mid-century modern living room. It has an open design, allowing you to decorate it as you please.
• The seating space is extended with the addition of Esters wood armchair from Target and a leather pouf from CB2. Given the neutral color living room, wood and leather were two popular materials that resonated with the mid-century modern living room's overall design theme. The pouf is multifunctional - you could sit on it or even place a small tray on it, and with a lovely Dash Black and White pillow from CB2 in the armchair, you have a winner!
• The braided fabric basket from Wayfair is ideal as an extra storage option. Given that it is a kid-friendly living room, the basket can be used for keeping away their toys and playthings like coloring books, storybooks, and more.
• The Longsdon traditional beveled accent mirror from Wayfair has depth and dimension. The metallic tone gives it a contemporary appearance.
• A living room may be considered incomplete without a TV stand, so we went for the Rowan TV stand from Target. Once again, its simple structure and sleek finish made it apt for the urban living room.
• Another fun storage item incorporated in the mid-century living room was the rustic-luxe two-piece wall shelf set from Wayfair. Photo frames, small potted plants/succulents, decor items, memorabilia, and more can be displayed.
• Throughout the mid-century modern living room, you’ll find bits of greenery. The potted faux eucalyptus & potted faux Aloe from CB2 and the faux desktop succulent plant & floor succulent plant in a concrete planter from Joss & Main are lovely decor additions. The Macrame plant holder from CB2 is also a nice touch.
• Last but not least, wall art plays a vital role in the mid-century modern living room decor. The Black and White abstract frame from Joss & Main complements the throw pillows' patterns and the rug. The Hummingbird and Flower wall art from Joss & Main adding a bit of flora and fauna to the decor, and the Keanna molding picture frame from Joss & Main with its attractive frame makes it ideal for celebrating sweet memories.
