This 2021 there have been slight changes within the interior design, however the trends that were seen last year continue to be talked about this year. In today's blog we will talk a little about the styles that have been most implemented in the interior of the houses of American families, we will also teach you how with a sofa like the Florence Knoll sofa and other models you can evoke the style of your preference. Let us begin!

Mid-Century style

The mid-century style, even when it was launched in the golden years; 50's-60's, is definitely still a trend this year. This style which includes aerodynamic and simple pieces is one of the most used in 2021. The reason lies basically in that its designs focus on functionality over beauty and simplicity over complexity or excess of elements within the layouts.

Now, how could you recreate an effective mid-century design? Placing a sofa like the Florence Knoll sofa? Placing warm colors? To answer you this is important that we first define the predominant characteristics of the much adored mid-century style. Swipe down!

The main characteristics of the mid-century style are the following:

  • Simple and organic lines.
  • Use of a warm color palette where tan and light brown predominate. You can also find floats in hues of orange, yellow, green and brown, although deviations are not uncommon.
  • Functional furniture, preferably upholstered in leather.
  • Juxtaposition of lines in some pieces of furniture or decorative accents.

Now that we've defined the basics of mid-century style it's time to show you how you can recreate it. First of all, you will need to select the centerpiece of the room to be decorated. Let's say we want to decorate the living room first, what is the centerpiece of every living room? Yes, The couch.

To choose the sofa, you will first need to set the color palette and then choose a color sofa that matches with the hues of your palette. For example, if you choose neutral / earthy ones, a Florence Knoll sofa would be the perfect choice. This sofa is upholstered in aniline leather and filled with high-density foam. Both characteristics make it a functional piece. In addition, the straight lines and stainless steel accents are very suitable based on the characteristics of mcm.

Modern style

This style has many similarities to the mid-century style, but the furniture and color palette are a bit different. Modern style furniture, compared to mid-century, requires the imposition of a light-colored piece of furniture. To create an optimal modern look, you will need to choose between neutral / light colors such as gray, white or beige. These will be the ones that will help you evoke the essence of modernism itself.

The modern design also includes:

  • Natural lighting. In case you cannot include natural lighting, choose bulbs with white light.
  • Materials such as wood or steel.
  • Organic lines.
  • Bold colors are only added in small details like pillows or accents around the home.

In case you want to recreate a modern style, you can choose a sofa like Mario Bellini's. This piece possesses the features mentioned above and will work perfectly when you set it as the focal point of your room.
