14 homewares to give your abode a mid-century makeover
These interior essentials never go out of style.
We’re not here to wax poetry about how the past was better than the present day – we’re happy here with our polio vaccines, seat belts and colour televisions, thank you very much – but we can’t help but swoon when we see some retro-futuristic homewares that were all the rage back in the day. Ranging from the mid-'40s to the ‘70s, the mid-century style includes heaps of warm tones, bold colours, geometric shapes, and other rad new designs that the people of the past were playing around with (just think of the home from The Brady Bunch, since that’s pretty spot-on). If you’re like us and love vintage style (which we reckon you do), spy our list of homewares that can help add a spark of mid-century coolness into any space.
