Style guide: Best choices for Mid-Century Modern Interior Design

Retro home decor has never been more in style, particularly when it comes to flooring. Give your home the mid-century look you love by switching up your flooring style with some popular choices from Georgia Carpet. Mid-century modern home design is inspired by the German Bauhaus style and was extremely popular from the 1930s to the 1960s. Featuring clean lines and minimal ornamentation, the look is making a major comeback and you can get this look for your home by shopping for inspired flooring styles at Georgia Carpet.

Hardwood

Wood floors were all the rage in homes built in the 1930s through the 1960s. Traditional, readily available and easy to pair with almost any aesthetic, hardwood floors were the go-to choice for mid-century interior designers. When choosing hardwood flooring, look for warmer, lighter wood floors with a straight wood grain and a smooth texture. If you need flooring that's a little more durable than standard hardwood, consider engineered hardwood floors, featuring real wood construction and a durable core that helps better resist moisture and damp environments.

Luxury Vinyl Plank

Love the look and warmth of wood, but need something that can stand up to your busy family? We recommend taking a look at luxury vinyl plank flooring. Available in a variety of styles, luxury vinyl plank mimics the look of wood, stone or tile, but has a durable core and a heavy-duty wear layer to resist stains, spills, scratches and even dents. Luxury vinyl plank is perfect for homes with kids or pets and can be used in water-prone areas of the home like kitchens and bathrooms. Shaw's COREtec Cairo Oak Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring is the perfect choice for mid-century chic home decor as it has a straighter grain and a light, bright color.

Laminate

For quality flooring on a budget, consider laminate flooring. Laminate is a budget-friendly alternative to other flooring like carpet or hardwood and it comes in a wide range of styles. Laminate is made to look like real wood and is waterproof, kid-proof and pet-proof. Again, look for a design that's light with a straight wood grain and a smooth finish to pair with your other mid-century design elements. When choosing laminate, order from a brand you trust like Mohawk, Mannington and Engineered Floors.

Carpet

You can't go wrong with plush wall-to-wall carpet for your mid-century interior design project. Carpet was one of the most popular flooring options by the middle of the twentieth century, with homeowners focusing on soft textures and bright colors. Of course, patterned carpet with geometric designs can also be a great addition to mid-century style. Use carpet to add a vibrancy to your space that can't be achieved with other types of flooring.
