Mid-century modern style continues its popularity today. It endures because it’s grounded in ergonomics, simplicity, and functionality. You can go with a vast range of colors whether they’re bold or muted. Select a single, significant furniture piece for your space. It could be a credenza, a bold accent chair, or a lamp.
