Mid-century Modern = Grass on the walls + jewelry on the ceiling
Posted by Amy Siders on July 22, 2022 0 Comments
Okay. So we're not putting REAL grass on the walls and there's not TECHNICALLY any jewelry hanging from the ceiling but we certainly got your attention, didn't we?!
What we're trying to say is that design can be off-the-wall and fun.
Whimsical.
Interesting.
No more cookie cutter bathrooms. That should be our new Waterhouse motto.
Today's unique style?
Mid-century Modern.
The 3 pillars are:
FUNCTIONALITY.
COLOR.
SHAPE.
Mid-century Modern design principles don't live only in the living room. You can bring that same feel into every room in your home -- including the powder room!
Mix materials.
Harsh metals often blend with lighter wood—it’s all about blending the traditional with the nontraditional. You can experiment with different fabrics and textiles, mix metals -- you'll be blending tradition with modernism, which is what the style is all about.
Mid-century modern design is all about functionality. In a mid-century modern home, everything is organized, and the lines are clean.
Since the mid-century modern style is all about lines, then shape must play an important part of the process. This sentiment is, in fact, true! Geometric shapes are staples of the mid-century modern design because of their clean linework.
How do we put this puzzle together at Waterhouse?

And now for the grass on the walls...
Grasscloth is a handcrafted piece of interwoven exotic grasses and is a decorating staple of the 1960's and 1970's. different types of grasscloth materials, such as hemp, jute, rushcloth and sisal are very popular wallpaper and exist in a variety of designs and functions. For natural and modern wallcovering, grasscloth adds much desired warmth and texture to your home.
