Mid-Century Modern Remodel: A Renovation for the Ages

The mid-century modern style has been making a triumphant comeback in recent years, and it's not hard to see why. This iconic design era, spanning from the 1940s to the 1960s, has a timeless appeal that works perfectly in today's modern homes. As the leading provider of custom window treatments, Budget Blinds of Scottsdale and Fountain Hills is here to help you bring this classic aesthetic to life in your mid-century modern home. Read on to explore how you can incorporate the essential elements of this style into your space, with a focus on drapes, flooring, rugs, and wood blinds.

Focus on the Details: Textures, Shapes, and Colors

One of the defining characteristics of mid-century modern design is the emphasis on clean lines, geometric shapes, and bold colors. When planning your remodel, pay close attention to these details to create a cohesive look. For example, choose furniture with clean, straight lines and focus on accent pieces that feature geometric patterns. The color palette of this era includes warm, earthy tones like mustard yellow, avocado green, and burnt orange, which can be incorporated into your drapes, rugs, and wood blinds.

 

Material Elements Essential to Mid-Century Modern: Brick, Wood, Brass, and Chrome
The use of natural materials is a cornerstone of mid-century modern design. Brick, wood, brass, and chrome are all classic elements that can be incorporated into your space to capture the essence of this era. For instance, consider installing a brick accent wall or fireplace, or opt for furniture pieces made from rich, warm woods like teak or walnut. Brass and chrome accents, such as light fixtures and hardware, can also add an authentic mid-century touch to your remodel.

Traditional Mid-Century Flooring Styles

Flooring plays a crucial role in establishing the overall feel of your mid-century modern remodel. Traditional flooring options for this style include terrazzo, linoleum, and hardwood. Terrazzo, a composite material made from chips of marble, quartz, granite, and glass, was a popular choice for mid-century homes due to its durability and design versatility. Linoleum, a cost-effective and eco-friendly option, was also popular for its variety of patterns and colors. Linoleum has come a long way from what it used to be. Today, linoleum can quite literally last a lifetime, with waterproof and ‘life-proof’ options. However, nothing beats the warmth and timelessness of hardwood floors, which can be beautifully complemented by honey-colored wood blinds.

Rugs That Work for the Aesthetic

Rugs are an essential element for any mid-century modern remodel, adding warmth and comfort while also tying the space together. Budget Blinds of Scottsdale and Fountain Hills offers rugs with bold geometric patterns, abstract designs, or simple, organic shapes to enhance the overall aesthetic. You can select custom colors that complement your other design elements, such as furniture and window treatments, which is key in creating a cohesive look.

Drapes That Support the Aesthetic

Window treatments are often overlooked during a remodel, but they play a critical role in establishing the desired style. For a mid-century modern remodel, choose drapes with simple, clean lines and bold colors. Consider incorporating geometric patterns or textures that echo the design elements in your furniture and rugs. Budget Blinds of Scottsdale and Fountain Hills offers a wide selection of custom drapery options to help you find the perfect solution for your space.

Traditional Honey-Colored Wood Blinds

Finally, wood blinds are a quintessential addition to any mid-century modern remodel. The warm, honey-colored tones of these blinds pair beautifully with the natural materials and earthy colors prevalent in mid-century design. Budget Blinds of Scottsdale and Fountain Hills offers custom wood blinds that can be tailored to fit any window size and shape, ensuring a seamless integration into a mid-century modern aesthetic.
