The Kitchen Store

Mid-century modern design has left an indelible mark, and it continues to be an iconic style that can be used for various interior spaces, including your kitchen. In this post, The Kitchen Store shares some elements that you’ll find in a mid-century modern kitchen. 

Wood Cabinets

Due to its rustic simplicity, wood is a popular choice for mid-century design. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly alternative to solid wood, wood veneers would suit you. Like wood, they come in a wide variety of styles, designs and colors that you can choose from.

Bold Colors

A trademark of mid-century modern design is the use of bold colors to create a striking space. For kitchens, designers usually love utilizing turquoise and green elements and then pairing them with a white dining set. When creating bold color combinations, white and black chequerboard floors are also popular. In mid-century modern, the ultimate goal is to bring a fun pattern into your home.

Minimalist Approach

Furniture from the mid-century modern era is often very simple, with clean lines and a focus on functionality and uncluttered spaces. Simple pieces are used as chairs and tables, which are typically supported by wooden or metal pin-style legs.

Simple Layout

The open concept kitchen design is popular in modern and mid-century modern kitchens. However, eat-in dining is more common in the mid-century modern kitchen layout. Rather than being outside the kitchen, the dining area is inside it. Breakfast bars are becoming more common in modern kitchens, reflecting our more casual lifestyles.
