Mid-Century Modern Interior Design
Mid-Century Modern (MCM) is perhaps the most enduringly popular style in history. It emerged as designers looked to create a better future through mass-produced, high-quality furniture that was accessible to everyone.
The "MCM look" is all about the silhouette. Furniture is often low-slung with clean lines, but also experiments with organic shapes inspired by nature. It’s a fun, optimistic style that brings a sense of character to any home.
