Trending on Remodelista: 5 Design Ideas to Steal from Modern Mid-century Masters

June 7, 2019

Remodelista editors celebrated mid-century modern design this week, and we were happy to time-travel along with them. Here, five design ideas to steal from the era.

1. A Unique Angle

An arresting single-sided pitched roof follows the gradient of the slope on which it&#8\2\17;s situated. See more of this amazing house in Antsy Plum: An Architect Revives a Forgotten \1960s Beauty. Photograph by Brotherton-Lock, courtesy of Coppin Dockray.

2. Plaid Rugs

Hella Jongerius&#8\2\17; woven wool plaid rugs for textiles brand Maharam look quite at home in mid-century spaces. See Fan&#8\2\17;s favorite one in Object of Desire: Multitone Rug by ‘Color-Cooking’ Dutch Designer Hella Jongerius.

4. Timber Everything

5. Pendelton Blankets
