What Is Mid-Century Modernism?
The Mid-Century Modernism movement got its start in Germany from Bauhaus architects and designers who migrated to America after World War II. MCM flourished for several decades, predominantly in the post-war suburbs of the 1950s. Interiors often included wood elements merged with modern materials like metal, glass, vinyl, plywood, Plexiglass and Lucite. Mid-century architecture focuses on simplicity and functionality.
What distinguishes mid-century modern design are clean lines, minimal ornamentation, contrasting materials, open floor plans. Large windows to bring in natural light and help blend indoor and outdoor living are another aspect of mid-century modern architecture. These homes often feature patios, courtyards, and other outdoor spaces to connect to interior through large sliding glass doors.
