Get to know the Mid Century sofa style
We’re guessing you’ve probably heard of Mid Century as a style before - possibly the “trendiest” sofa style, this has all the modern design cues of this period of design. Mid Century sofas typically have features such as splayed legs and arms and a formal back, creating a modern 1950s/60s silhouette that is impossible to ignore. This look crosses over with the ever-popular Scandi look, which makes use of natural wood textures, and is always off the ground allowing light to flow through.
Your perfect mid century modern sofa
Splayed legs. Straight back. Slim arms. Mid century modern style is instantly recognisable - and screams sophisticated taste. And it’s versatile too - working in any format, from compact to corner sofa, chaise to suite.
Popular throughout the middle of the 20th century - hence the name - mid century sofa styles have never really gone away, and remain as popular today as they have ever been. These 1950s and 1960s sofa styles are characterised by clean lines, angular silhouettes, minimalist tufting or buttoning, off-the-floor shapes, angled legs - and often feature exposed wooden frames or feet. You’ll also find the unmistakable cylindrical bolster cushions on some of the mid century sofa styles in this category.
