13. The Mid-Century Modern Teak & Leather Station
Channeling iconic 1950s and 1960s interior design principles, this corner pairs organic wood grains with iconic mid-century silhouettes and functional upholstery.
- How to Make It: Position an authentic mid-century modern teak lounge chair with angled wooden legs in the corner. Place a classic kidney-shaped wooden side table next to the chair. Mount a Sputnik-style wall sconce or an adjustable brass pharmacy lamp overhead. Style the wall with a set of minimalist abstract geometric art prints framed in thin walnut wood.
- Tips and Variations: Use a vibrant mustard yellow or burnt orange wool upholstery on your mid-century chair to inject a classic retro pop of color into a neutral bedroom scheme.
