Have you seen how beautiful a midcentury modern style is? Check these kitchens!
One style that has become a great hit for interior designers and homeowners alike is the midcentury modern because of its simple yet sophisticated style that combines some elements of the past and the current modern trend. The common feature of a midcentury modern space is its open layout, its being bright and its usage of natural elements for both the furniture and the accents. This style is also known for its use of iconic furnishings as well as patterned wallpapers.
Today, we are going to show you some midcentury modern kitchen designs which vary in colors, layout and even usage of materials. You will also see geometric patterns in each space as well as beautifully designed furniture. Most of the areas also use a good amount of wood for either the ceiling or the cabinets. Let us take a look at the round up below.
1. Resident Art
What I love in this space is the colors and the combination of patterns. Isn’t it very beautiful? It also brings a subtle retro appeal to the area while using modern furniture and equipment. Notice that it used patterns on the wall.

Anthology Interiors
The pendants light used here will no doubt draw your eyes to the area as well as the backsplash. For the rest of the space, wood and white was used together.
4. Allandale Mid-century Modern Kitchen Remodel
I love the whiteness of this kitchen as well as the colors from that wallpaper in the dining area. Aside from that, the orange oven has a huge impact to the appeal of the space.
5. Mid-century Modern Kitchen
A breakfast nook was added to the corner of this kitchen with an orange wall. An area rug with the same color is used in the space too to extend the look. What I noticed here are the paintings on the wall, the patterns on the throw pillows and the yellow pendant light that is almost retro in style.

This kitchen isn’t that spacious but it looks good because of the skylights and the picture window that brings in light to the area.

That floating and cantilevered island is very nice! It seems to bring a futuristic touch to the space especially that it used gray and white together. It is a good idea to add some wall decors in here as well as lovely yet simple lighting fixtures.

You will see patterns in the walls for this kitchen that has a wine storage and a vaulted ceiling.

A spacious kitchen that used a combination of wood and white colors. From the area, one can take a look at the beautiful garden!
This is a lovely list, right? Well, I don’t know about you but if you will ask me, I like midcentury modern style in whatever space in the house it would be used because of how timeless it looks and how relaxing is its overall appeal. I also like the idea of putting together some retro or traditional elements with modern ones. It is like decorating the home with different eras in mind. But what appeals to me most in spaces like this, are its use of patterns and the brightness of the spaces.
