Design 18 - Bauhaus x Mid-century Modern




Decor Ideas & Inspiration

Bauhaus style architecture uses industrial materials for construction like concrete, steel and glass. The furniture design is streamlined; popular pieces like the Wassily chair and the Barcelona chair are made up of steel and leather with a polished chrome accent. Bauhaus style focuses on asymmetry for visual balance. The Mid-Century Modern style has many characteristics of the Bauhaus style. It also features geometric lines in architectural buildings, interiors and furniture. Tapered legs are common in furniture. The palette is usually neutral with accents in saturated pops of colours.
