I love Mid Century Modern design. I think a strong part of that is due to the fact that I was raised with it, and so it feels like home to me.
You see, my grandmother had authentic Lane walnut furniture from the 1960s when I was a kid. She had it when my mom was a kid too, to be honest.
When she got new furniture, I was lucky enough to inherit these pieces. Of course, not right away. I had to prove I was adult enough to have nice things first. Eventually, these mid century modern furnishings made their way into my 1950s desert home. So you can kind of see why we’re big on retro and vintage around here.
Mid Century Modern inspired pieces are common at stores like West Elm, but also on Amazon. In fact, we did a Mid Century Luxe Bedroom inspo board a while back. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite Mid Century Modern and Modern design pieces for your home. Even better – they’re all available on Amazon. Heck yeah!

13 Large Dimmable Sputnik Chandelier – Okay, how awesome is this?? I thought I wanted a fancy crystal chandelier – because why not? – but now I know I want this. It’s available in black or chrome. You’ll also want to pick up the Edison bulbs that go with the chandelier, since they’re not included.

15 Modern Curved Mirror with Shelf – Every room needs a mirror, and this is a great one. It’s retro in feel, but would be right at home in a modern and contemporary design space as well. It also has a bit of an ethnic flair. I slso LOVE LOVE LOVE this mirror that looks like ball chain
16 Mango Mid Century Modern Oval Coffee Table – This boomerang shaped coffee table looks like it’s straight out of the early 1960s. It has normal legs but they could probably be switched out for hairpin legs.
17 Droplet Accent Lamps – Lamps can really tie a room together. These accent lamps do it nicely with their fun shape. The drum shades add a lot of drama and design, at a budget friendly price.
18 Pyramid Mid Century Geometric Area Rug – Another piece that skirts the lines between modern and Mid Century Modern design aesthetics. Personally, I really like this and would put it in my house. Also available in shades of blue. I’m also kind of in love with this Scandinavian Modern rug
