Spring Refresh: Mid Century Modern Decor Ideas for a Fresh Start

Entryway Refresh: Make a Statement From the Start

Your home’s vibe starts at the front door, so why not kick things off with a bold mid-century moment? Start with a fresh floral wreath in classic mid century modern hues—think burnt orange, mustard yellow, and blue. This instantly sets the tone for a warm and inviting space.

Looking for something more unique? Swap out that tired old wreath for an Atomic Cat Groovy Floral Door Sign—because nothing says retro charm like a sassy feline bringing groovy flower power to your entryway. It’s a playful yet stylish way to welcome guests while staying true to retro aesthetics. 

Achieve a Full Living Room Refresh With MCM Furniture & Wall Art

The living room is the heart of your home—so let’s deck it out in mid century magic!

A fresh coat of paint in a warm, 70s-inspired hue sets the scene, while floral pillows bring that springtime energy to a tired layout. If you’re ready to invest, statement furniture pieces are where to start. Consider mid-century modern nesting tables—they're practical, stylish, and a perfect mix of function and flair. Prefer something with extra personality? This retro geometric nesting tables in a 70s psychedelic wave design is a total showstopper.

Want an even bigger transformation? A mid-century modern wall mural is the perfect way to make a statement. Whether you’re looking for an all-over retro refresh or a single accent wall, the right mural sets the stage for vintage charm. Check out the wall mural collection for endless possibilities, or go bold with a Scandinavian mid-century modern floral wall mural in mustard and orange that looks straight out of a vintage design magazine. This statement-making backdrop can completely transform your space without requiring a full renovation.

Consider Every Part of Your Space—From Ceilings to Floors

A true mid-century modern home isn’t just about the furniture—it’s about creating a fully immersive experience. Here’s how to get that wow-worthy look:

1. Lay down a statement rug. A large retro rug under your seating area ties everything together. This Scandinavian Hygge Mid Century Floral Area Rug is a total mood-lifter 
   
   
   

2. Dress up those walls. Abstract prints and bold atomic art bring energy and personality. This Atomic Cat 3-Panel Skateboard Wall Art is a playful nod to classic 50s design. 

   

3. Frame your windows right. Bring the essence of spring into your space with Pyrex Spring Blossom curtains—inspired by the iconic 70s dishware known for its cheerful green florals. These vintage-chic drapes don’t just add color; they channel retro kitchen nostalgia while tying your space together with fresh mid-century modern charm. Want to complete the look? A matching kitchen valance adds the perfect finishing touch, bringing that classic pattern to your dining nook or breakfast space.
