5 Common Characteristics of Mid-Century Modern Homes 

Mid-Century Modern homes are all the rage these days, and for good reason. But do you know how to spot a Mid-Century Modern? These are five of the most common characteristics:

Clean, simple lines: To being with, a Mid-Century Modern home has clean, simple lines. These types of homes are much less formal than some of the home designs that came before them. You won’t find much in terms of ornamentation, either. It’s also common to find a flat roof, but this isn’t always a hard and fast rule.

Function over form: Function is also a big part of a Mid-Century Modern home. Even when certain features are minimal in appearance, they still have a purpose. 

Emphasis on outdoors: A Mid-Century Modern home also has more of an emphasis on the outdoors. That’s why they include things like open floor plans, sliding glass doors and large windows. The idea is to bring a lot of natural light into a home, while also enticing residents to get outside and explore nature.

The creation of depth: A Mid-Century Modern home will also often have some slight changes in elevation as you travel throughout the home’s interior. This could mean a few steps between rooms to create a split-level design, or even some partial walls to create more depth.

Pops of color: As for the exterior, or even interior of a Mid-Century Modern home, the color scheme is typically monochromatic. You’ll likely find some earthy tones like brown, infused with a few pops of color here and there.
