Styling Tips: Layering With Intention
Styling Tips: Layering With Intention
Styling a mid century modern upholstered armchair is all about creating a visual pause. In a living room, float a pair across from a low-slung sofa, anchoring the seating area with a simple rug and sculptural coffee table. In a bedroom or study, a single chair by a window creates a quiet moment of retreat.
Layer with a sheepskin throw or textured pillow to soften the clean lines. A matte black floor lamp or ceramic side table enhances the architectural silhouette, while a mid-century credenza or brass reading light finishes the look. Whether your home leans vintage, Japandi, or minimalist modern, these armchairs adapt effortlessly.
