Guest Picks: Midcentury Glam for Every Room

My husband and I recently took a trip to Palm Springs, California, without our kids. It was such a delight to be somewhere warm. But my favorite part of our visit was being surrounded by midcentury design and architecture. Even the inn we stayed at was a historical building that was decorated with classic midcentury pieces. This ideabook is inspired by all that midcentury goodness. Some of the pieces are affordable, while others are definite indulgences — but a girl can dream! — Barbara from Markova Design

Midcentury Silver Ombré Cocktail Pitcher - $30 I love the simplicity of this piece. You could use it to serve up orange juice for breakfast or sangria for later, or to hold a bouquet of flowers.


Lazy Susan Fondue Set, Chrome and Walnut - $75 Nothing screams midcentury modern more than a fondue set.


Butterscotch Brown Bakelite Steak Knives by Vintage 19-Something, Set of 2 - $11 I love the creaminess of the Bakelite handles of these knives. They’re the perfect addition to a midcentury mod home.


Pyrex Coffee Carafe by Vintage 19-Something - $19 This coffee carafe from the late ’50s would fit a midcentury-decorated kitchen beautifully.


Retro Dots Privacy Window Film - $129 If you need some privacy film for your bathroom or bedroom, try this retro pattern for a bit of zip. Buy on Houzz


Kettle Desk Phone, Chrome - $61.15 Add a vintage element with this classic telephone — now available with push buttons instead of a dial. Buy on Houzz


Elroy Desk - $2,295 When I saw this desk in person, I fell in love with its sleek, angular lines and the simplicity of the design.


The Bend Ethel Chair, Orange - $450 This chair brings a fabulous pop of color and a sculptural element to any room.


The Bend Farmhouse Chair, Orange - $495 This is another fabulous chair. Mix it up with the Ethel chair for a great collection. You can use it indoors or out.


Autumn Floor Lamp - $650 This classic lamp is perfect for any home.


Worlds Away Blossom Gold-Leafed Pendant - $997.50 Unique and funky, this pendant light would be great over a dining table. It is such a conversation piece. Buy on Houzz


Conrad Modern Wood Table Lamp - $179.99 I love the legginess of this lamp. It’s perfect for an end table or console table.


Livingston Sofa, Platinum Ecru - $1,299 This sofa from West Elm nods to midcentury but has an updated twist: a higher back.


Cosmos Rug This area rug will add that extra layer of warmth to your midcentury space.


George Nelson Sunray Starburst Wall Clock No midcentury interior is complete without a classic starburst clock.


Danish Modern Pillow Cover by Atomic Livin’ Home - $78 Bring in the atomic age with this retro pillow cover.


Eames Midcentury Modern Pillow Cover by Atomic Livin’ Home - $78 The hotel room we stayed at in Palm Springs had this Eames fabric on throw pillows and the cornices. I love it!


Round Saarinen Dining Table - $2,152 I think this has to be one of my favorite pieces from the midcentury era. Buy on Houzz


Gemiini Collection Coffee Cup With Saucer - $90 I love this teacup. It reminds me of the set my mom got as a wedding gift in the early ’60s. Buy on Houzz


Nixon Chair, Lucky Turquoise - $849 I love the clean lines of this chair. It would fit perfectly with the sofa from West Elm above.
