20th CENTURY FURNITURE MUST HAVES FOR THE 21st CENTURY

White living room with 20th Century Furniture

I have been thinking about new beginnings and fresh starts lately when it comes to home decor.  I know whatever I do with my house in the future, I definitely want to bring some modern classics into the decorating mix.

Bertoia, Thonet, Platner...these are all names of great 20th century furniture designers whose works have become modern classics.  Love the way the owners of this small apartment in Sweden have styled these pieces into their modern fresh decor.

DESIGN IDEA - MIX MATCH DINING ROOM CHAIRS!

eat in kitchen dining table chairs louis xvi bertoia french reproductions modern cabinetry gray white
Hey...how about this look...a modern eat in kitchen with a long dining table populated with a mix of styles of dining chairs. Mid century modern to classic in all shapes.

Think it could be cute...also think you have to have at least 2 of the 6 chairs match. Deliberate mix and match.

Hmmm...could work!

Here are some dining chair options.

BLUE AND GREY ALL THE WAY IN A SMALL VICTORIAN COTTAGE!

This is the home of Erin McLaughlin, editor of Style at Home. An adorable Victorian small cottage in shades of pale grey and a bit of blue here and there. Love it. Very soothing, simple and stylish.

I like light grey...to me it allows one to add a dash of color in a small space without closing in the dimensions of the interior.

Excellent little house I think!

What do you think of this small home? I like it because I think this is a chic look that is easy to achieve (hmmm....might have to do a DESIGNER ROOM RECREATE on one of these rooms...hmmm....).

Hope you have a great Monday! Whoa is me...I have to go to a work party tonight...whoa is me...good food, interesting people watching, a little champagne perhaps...whoa is me...life is rough these days... :-)!

Have got to run to get dressed for work!

A happy breakfast nook in yellow and white features built in banquette seating with a playful ikat fabric on cushions, a Le Klint pendant light, Bertoia chairs and a white rectangular table with a Saarinen base. (above)

Keeping it simple is key. Love this cheery breakfast nook. Some simple use of fabric as seat cushions, the addition of some timeless classics as far as furniture and throwing in just a few dashes of coordinating art and accessories can make a dining area like this just the perfect space for eating in.

Here are some pieces that might help you pull this look together in your own home!
