Guest Groups: It's a Mod, Mod World

Midcentury furniture is in style and for good reason. With clean lines, tufting, simple knobs and fantastic colours and patterns, it’s difficult not to like it. I’ve mixed and matched my own furniture so that my house does not turn in the set of Mad Men, but I’d gladly add one of these pieces to my group. — Melanie from You Are My Fave

Thrive Home Furnishings

Taylor Chair – $849

Sometimes you endanger style for relaxation, but this oversized seat gives you. I love the selection of colours it comes in too.

House & Hold

Eastvold Classic Coffee Table – $920

This traditional coffee table design is great looking while still being quite practical. My pile of monthly publications would get saved inside.

Heal’s

Orla Kiely Lusk Sofa, Pumpkin – GBP 1,756

I saw this small sofa in the Orla Kiely store in New York last month and nearly fainted because it’s so pretty. The dimensions would be perfect for a small space, and the red-orange color would add happiness to any room.

Orla Kiely Lusk Armchair, Moss – GBP 1,196

I can’t await the new Orla Kiely furniture line to fully launch and make its way into the United States. I need to find room in my home for a couple pieces such as this mod seat.

Orla Kiely Giant Abacus Cushion, Slate Blue and Red – GBP 39

Most of Kiely’s designs are reminiscent of the ’60s, but I think that this Abacus pattern is particularly mod appearing.

House & Hold

TrueModern Luna Sofa

If you like the appearance of white but are anxious about it, consider light gray. Isn’t this sofa so stylish?

Heal’s

Fireside Easy Oak Chair, Kvadrat CodaYellow – GBP 1,518

I love the clean lines and light appearance of midcentury furniture. This slick mustard-colored seat is no exception.

House & Hold

Jennifer Delonge Daddy Ottoman – $559

Even if it’s only a place for the toes to land, an ottoman may be good looking too. Additionally, this one comes in tons of colors and designs to match your decor.

Furnishly

Midcentury Tallboy Dresser – $425

If you’re seeking the real deal rather than reproductions of pieces, this site shares vintage furniture listings for the Chicago area. I want this particular necklace!

Monarch Sofas

Amanda Custom Sofa – $823

This sofa can be customized to your liking for a very fair price. I adore the tufting on the back.

Urban Outfitters

Modern Ottoman, Orange – $179

I understand the quality of furniture from Urban Outfitters is not the best, but if you’re searching for an affordable way to furnish an apartment and keep it stylish, they have some great-looking pieces such as this ottoman.

Urban Outfitters

Modern Chair, Gray – $359

This seat has good lines and a fantastic color. Additionally, it’s very affordable.

CB2

Avec Peacock Apartment Sofa – $1,199

I’ve purchased several pieces of furniture from CB2 and have only had good experiences. The color of this sofa is beautiful.

CB2

Dual Pebble Tufted Sectional – $1,799

Sectionals have a tendency to be bulky and oversize, but this one is the opposite. I call the corner spot!

Thrive Home Furnishings

Wallace Credenza – $2,849

For some reason, it’s difficult to find stylish networking storage. A credenza such as this will do the job quite nicely.

Thrive Home Furnishings

Nixon Love Seat, Klein Wheatgrass – $1,499

Putting together this ideabook has convinced me that I need more furniture. This love seat is perfect.

Room & Board

Seville Leather Chair, Camel – $2,699

My husband will tell you that if I buy anything leather, it’s inside this honey colour. It seems better upholstering this traditional seat.

West Elm

Midcentury 6-Drawer Dresser, Acorn – $999

I have the midcenutury nightstand from West Elm, and it’s gorgeous. I was quite excited to see that they now have a similar style in lace form. Now I just need to determine whether to produce the purchase or not.

Room & Board

EamesĀ® Molded Plywood Lounge Chair, Cherry Stain Wood Leg – $889

I’ve determined that if I ever have an Eames slice, I want it to be this seat. What, you don’t dream about that which Eames you’d own?

Anthropologie

Bluhm Credenza – $3,598

You know how kids save their pennies for a special purchase? My pennies are moving towards this gorgeous credenza.
