Our dining room features a mid-century table and chair set from West Elm that was our first “adult” purchase after our wedding. I added a touch of boho with a Persian rug from Target! I absolutely love the colors and it fits with the table runner and Our Place tableware I already had.
While we were house hunting, a dining room was a must-have! Mostly because we had this Mid-century West Elm set and I couldn’t let it go. Where do we eat most meals? On the couch 🙂 BUT it is perfect for when we have friends over and even expands to seat two more.
When it comes to certain home pieces, it’s worth the $$ for the quality. West Elm does a great job with the design and the quality is always there! The lines and details in our Mid-century Expandable Dining Table give some interest while remaining timeless. They also have a round/oval option!
I love the statement our dining room chandelier makes, even though it’s huge! Just a tip, actually look at the size of light figures, not just the design 🙂
Creating our mid-century hygge bedroom: Hello all! My husband and I purchased our first home in December 2020! The 1951 home is full of natural light, arches, and little touches of character. My first step was to paint everything white! I used Sherwin Willians Alabaster for the walls and it’s perfect. My inspiration for our home came from my love for mid-century furnishings and the hygge lifestyle!
hyg·ge
noun
a quality of coziness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being (regarded as a defining characteristic of Danish culture).
Working with the warm white paint color I mixed in creams, ivory, and bright white for a classic feel that still gave interest. Most of our bedding can be found at Target! I love the Hearth and Hand with Magnolia collections so much (like everyone) and they did an amazing job with this solid quilt and linen blend euro pillows! I also found the perfect little lumbar pillow there, Oversize Lumbar Woven Global Pillow – Thresholdâ„¢
Adding Texture | Mid-century Hygge Bedroom
While I LOVE white, I needed to give the space some dimension. Texture is a big contributor when you are using a lot of the same color family. The Waffell Diamond Textured Trellis Tassel Area Rug from @rugsusaand the tassel throw blanket (Home Goods) add to the hygge bedroom vibes!
Adding Color | Mid-century Hygge Bedroom
While all the base elements are neutrals, I added pops of color in pieces I can easily change depending on my mood and the season. The painting you see on the wall (TJMaxx, see similar options below) is where I worked from and added in some pink, tan, and green in the plants. I also made sure to pick a mid-century bed frame that was wood for extra warmth.
Adding Accents | Mid-century Hygge Bedroom
For the nightstands, I actually found these at Home Goods for $30 each! The decor for them is either thrifted or from Home Goods as well.
Tie-dye is the color of quarantine, but have you seen the Posh Boss bleached tee from @thecolorblush_? I was gushing over these tees and Stephanie was kind enough to gift one to me! So, how do you style a bleached tee?
To be honest, I feel like one of those cool kids that rock band tees, but I don’t have to pretend I listen to the band. Because this tee is a little edgier than what I usually wear, I styled it three ways with my go-to’s- blush, leopard & denim.
