I like the bold graphics, the Andy Warhol like pictures, the pink pillows on the couch. I had my first apartment in 1977 and obviously, it was fairly modern in style. Parson table, bentwood rocker, lots of plants. I even made a 3 foot plant holder by using an empty cylinder that had been used to hold upholstery fabric and cover it with silver, mirror shelf lining paper. Ha ha! I still have the baskets that I grouped together on the wall and actually, I found almost all of them and about six months ago, hung them up in my living room! I love it.
Mid-18th Century is great, but this stuff is....
I’m honestly just surprised Lisa committed to the look for the whole video. So fun!
Oh my gosh!! 🤣 Thank you so much, LC!! 💛
I really love it when Lisa gives the socio-historical context for these designs. She knows how to teach you to identify the style with specific details. So great to learn. These are my fav type of videos!
Aww, thank you so much, Samantha!! 💛
Being old enough to remember the period, normal everyday people didn't have all that crazy art on their walls, only the teenagers did. Most only had one weird thing in their house and stayed pretty normal. they did the color thing with throws and furniture covers, but kept the basics. Some lamps would be popular, but most of this furniture you either saw in the movies or in the "pads" of the upper class in magazines.
My parents had danish modern furniture and very groovy lighting. Also Marimekko fabric stretched onto large panels instead of art. I think it really depends on exactly when people set up their homes. My aunt and uncle who were only a few years older had the colonial stuff and the wood paneling instead.
Not everybody does interior design with intent.
I don’t won’t to offend anyone. That furniture is very very uncomfortable. I couldn’t stand living with any of it. I didn’t like the lamps and light fixtures either. I felt much more comfortable when I visited my Grandparents house.
Your antics are something Lisa! I end up watching you more than the decor. You’re an “out of the box” designer! That wig should be paired with that white ostrich outfit, a riot! Your clients must be in hysterics as you evaluate their homes. Keep up the fun! Hugs-
Aww, thank you so much, Jean!! 💛
That wig OMG 😆
Right? Like Lisa belongs on Scooby-Doo or something! 👩🦰 No wait, it’s The Queen’s Gambit!
Oh right?!!!
Oh my gosh, guys!! This is so funny!! 😂 🤣
I’d love a fileting about how the various midcentury modern flavours ties into Scandi.
Bc (speaking as a Swede) early midcentury pretty much jives w Scandi in shape (but stronger colours) but once you’re into sunken pits, weird colours and hippie fonts it seriously feels like the connection is gone
EXACTLY what I was going to ask in a comment! I thought I knew was MCM was; now I'm wondering if I'm more Scandi. 👏👏👏
Even though it emerged in the mid-1900s, Scandinavian design would be considered just "modern". I think these days, Scandi designs will incorporate a few pieces or elements from other design styles, but yeah, Ikea aesthetic wouldn't be considered mid-century modern.
Thanks Lisa!! This is so helpful!! We live in a 1958 ranch and want to preserve the great lines and quality construction while bringing in modern functionality. You’ve really helped me see that the 50’s atomic age is where our home shines so we can craft a more cohesive design style through the house. Thanks🙏🏼😊
You are so welcome, Ann!! 💛
I just remembered how much I loved the office interiors at the beginning of the Madmen series and also how much I loved the living room when they moved into their new home that was French inspired with that amazing chaise. I think my favorite point of the mid-century modern era must be when they were transitioning between the late 50s and early 60s. Something about open concept spaces, natural elements, an abundance of light, and luxe statement pieces. Thank you for covering this!!
this is literally the best midcentury design video on youtube!!! so simple and structured! thanks!!!
We retired a few years ago and bought a RV to travel full time. Out went the beige and brown decor and in came tulip chairs.... orange, gold and aqua colors...a couple atomic age art pieces, tiered lamps and accessories. We have lots of cherry wood cabinets which look fantastic with the bright colors now. I smile with delight when people compliment our happy decor. You can make MCM happen in any kind of space if you follow great advise like you provide. Loved this video. 💫
Oh my gosh! That sounds wonderful, Karene!! 💛
Thanks to Lisa, I discovered Interior Icons! Recently bought a tulip table; shiny, white & circular. Paired it with some blue Chinese Chippendale chairs in a matte finish.
Wow, that sounds great, MC!! 💛
What a great production! Five stars for the wig alone :)
Thank you so much!! I think I need to use more wigs in my videos!! LOL! 🤣 😂
I saw my coffee table, it makes me smile. Adrian..
I saw you do this 2 years ago.
I love mid century modern. I inherited my childhood home and it is filled with late mid century modern mixed with traditional mahogany furniture. Somehow it works. I adore the mix. I always wanted Barcelona chairs but they are so expensive. A few years ago I found a pair with one ottoman at an estate sale for $350 total! Oh yes! A dream come true. So I added those into the mix . They make me happy. I don't like living with loud colors so various rooms are painted soft blue, soft green, and ivory. The art work is soft colors too. Not pastel. Somehow it all looks beautiful together. So even though I have a lot of mid century modern furniture I would describe my "style " as eclectic. Not sure if that is a style but it suits me. Fun video.
Also love the clothes and homes on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
Perfect choice of film sets. I love all those productions. Queen's Gambit is sensational.
Boomerang coffee table❤
Thanks for the history lesson. I now realize our everyday home is MCM 50s and our Palm Springs vacation home is MCM 60s!!
Is this a reposting? I remember the skits wig and glasses two years ago.
I was thinking the same! 😃
I watched until the end thinking there would be new content. Nope.
Reposts should be label as such
I could only watch a couple minutes. I really dislike MCM in furniture, decor and architecture. EVERYTHING!
Sharp memory you have, Kether!! Yes, this is a reupload because I think there are a LOT of valuable information you can use, especially if you are planning to redecorate your home! 💛
BUT I have an UPCOMING LIVE Q&A here on UA-cam tomorrow, Sunday at 10 AM! See you! 💛
Is this a reupload? I'm confused
Hey, Ozro!! Wow, you remember! Yes, this is a reupload because I think there are a LOT of valuable information you can use, especially if you are planning to redecorate your home! 💛
BUT I have an UPCOMING LIVE Q&A here on UA-cam tomorrow, Sunday at 10 AM! See you! 💛
@@LisaHoltDesign Oh thanks for the reply, Lisa! Yep, I realised what was happening when you said you are reuploading your older vids for a series.
Yes, I eat up any/all of your vids on Mid-Century- they are awesome 😎
Awesome. Groovy. Outta sight. 💥💥💥🏄🏄🏠🏠🏠
Appreciate it!! 💛
I know this is an older post. However, season 4 of The Godfather of Harlem features the main character's house, that is almost identical to the last 2 seasons of Don Drapers penthouse in MadMen. Love what you're doing. Please keep it going.
OOh, thanks!
You can mix these. Because thinking back to the actual time period, most people didn't replace all their furniture and decor. A lot of the big pieces would be older, with paint and smaller decor updated.
I have that clock she showed as 50s and tulip table & chairs in same room
You are THE BEST! I love your videos and information. Brilliant!!
Wow, thank you!
If I was rich, I think I'd be like De Niro's character in "Heat". House in Malibu, on the beach, and no furniture. Nothing to distract the eye from that view!
I just adore the mid century modern house in Ms Fisher's Modern Mysteries. And the clothes!!!!!!!
Lisa.. you rock the mid century look. Loved this video.
Now, this is one groovy video! Love the look, Lisa!!
Thank you so much!! 💛
Love this video as much as the first time I saw it! I commented in your original posting of the video about my love for knotty pine and the respect it deserves!
I had a woodworker make me a custom knotty pine desk and added the black wrought iron hardware. It looks great-a fun homage to a bygone era.
Thank you Lisa! I lived the 60s era and loved it. Fun and informative video. Have a good weekend!
Glad you enjoyed it, Lili!! 💛
What a great video - now I of course want all this gorgeous stuff...
*2 BRUTALIST
Thanks Lisa. Great information and energy!
Glad you enjoyed it, George!! 💛
Wow you are brilliant and an incredibly easy to understand and apply thank you so much!
Wow, thank you! We have a ton of fun in the club as well! www.thedezignclub.com
You are the BEST Lisa !!!
No, YOU are the BEST!! 💛
Great video! Maybe you could do a video of a list of past trends you love or want to come back?
Great idea, Aubs!!
I LOVE MCM design because it seems to offer more floor space with the less is more idea. Even smaller rooms feel bigger, neater and intentional. Also the history of it and the memories, refections as a little girl. MCM has class without being snobby. LOL! I enjoy it best with a TIKI cocktail drink and listening to Dean Martain on the HI-FI. YUP, MCM is a design and an emotion. It is also fun to dust and vacuum in heels and pearls!
EXACTLY!! I love, love your comment, Debra! Thank you so much!! 💛
LOVE this!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!
You are so welcome, Miriam!! 💛
Love your look!
I'm flattered! Thank you so much!! 💛
Lichtenstein. Hey Lisa - loved this episode.🙋♀️ A friend of mine has an Eames chair I sit in all the time. I had no idea 😀
Lisa you are so energetic and fun I love ❤️ your videos they are informative and fun
🥰
Thank you so much!!! 💛
I’m glad I found this video I have been all night mid century modern art kick lightly and I love the simple abstract paintings. All the geometric designs and stuff
Glad it was helpful!
Really enjoyed this fun video and history lesson. Do not personally find those styles attractive but very informative. Would love to see some other period designs.
Thank you so much, Lorraine!! 💛
Yes, my fav!
I love seeing the explanation of the breakdown of the division of the two distinct looks of MCM. It clears things up.
Thank you so much, Candace!! 💛
You’re so fun❤
Great, thanks from the Netherlands
Thank you too!
Mid Century - hit and miss for me. Love clean lines and not too many vivid colours 🎨 it takes me back to my childhood 😀
And the fake wood veneer 😣
I do like the vivid colors but I really don't have them in my home. Weird.
@@joane.3533 My laundry room is ORANGE
The advise about sticking to two statement pieces was an absolute gem 💎
great video, great energy!
Glad you enjoyed it, Nina!! 💛
Hi, Lisa! Groovy shades!
Thank you so much, Lucy!! 💛
This video is absolutely perfect! Currently in the process of renovating our MCM home and leaning heavily into the 60s end of the era. 💖 And you reminded me I'm overdue for a rewatch of Down With Love! ✨
Glad you enjoyed it, Elle!! 💛
This video was ❤🎉🥳🥰🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That’s very kind 😊
GRACIAS!!! desde Barcelona España 👍👏💕💕🙌
Thank you so much, Regina!! 💛
I loved this video; thank you Lisa! We are doing a cabin, but modern and this is helpful. I already have the sputnick-ish chandelier and the Eames chair and a large cow rug ready to go!
You can do it, Stelma! 💛
I love the clean lines of MCM.
YES, and it has a mix of both organic and geometric shapes!! Love, love, love those! 💛
MCM - was hip clean and fun Very classy simple but yet very smart !! Martini anyone lol Lisa you look fabulous darling and thank you for putting the Groove in design very very inspirational cheers🍸
Yes! Thank you, Naseve!! 💛
Not my particular style, but loved this!
Great video Lisa!!
Do you have a link for the surface mount ceiling light please?
Thank you Lisa! Grabbing my red wig now and going thrifting!
OMG!? This is SO funny!! 🤣 Thank you so much!! 💛
Hey, Peggie. Love the look!
Thanks so much, Lyn!! 💛
As if I couldn't love you more-- you referenced The Jetson's! (insert heart here)
I watched the video w/ my husband and he love it ❤️
Lisa's glasses at 12:48 are so cute.
Thanks so much, CH!! You can shop my glasses at dezignclubstore.com/collections/glasses 💛
lol Let’s place a game! Take a shot when you hear Lisa say “GROOVY”
😂😂😂😂😅
that wig is glorious
Me , Me -I lived it !
I have learned so much in a short time… thanks
That's wonderful, Jasmine!! Thank you!! 💛
I started watching you during pandemic of course I think you are wonderful great teaching people how to enjoy they home but my reason is a selfish one you are funny and to me it’s worth following up with you every week so thank you very much for sharing your intelligent way to enjoy life 🥰

MCM is my style. Just love it! Great video Lisa. I’m gonna watch Mad with Love. Never seen it.
You should definitely add it on your list!! 💛
Oh my gosh ! I just bought and moved into a house built in 1958, and the interior hasn’t been touched since the 1970’s. The initial photos with the knotty pine and pink could be taken in my house. Loving this timely video, as I want to freshen up and update, but keep with the character and the great parts of this house. I have found your channel a good help, especially your videos on lighting. I’ve been considering a tulip or Eames chair for the living room.
Oh my gosh, Sorba!! I have an idea. Why don't you join us at thedezignclub.com/sales/ and get free access to our design library! You can also ask me tips for your home. See you there!! 💛
The movie Don't Worry Darling made me fall in love with MCM architecture. I wanted to live in that movie.
Are you sure about that? 😆 MCM is a great style choice. I’ve got more information on it on my site DezignSpace.com
I have a late 1950’s mid century ranch and have been scouring the internet for inspiration and education. I’m originally from Palm Springs, and that PS look is my favorite, but our ranch is going to remain aesthetic. We even still have the inhome and outdoor speakers. They’re non working but in hopes of bringing him back to life in some fashion. Love everything you do! Love this episode. (We bought this ranch earlier this year and live in Knoxville)
Just got done watching your tiny bathroom episode. We are not changing the bones of the house, we are keeping it original and I’m learning to love my tiny master bathroom. We just moved from a 3300 square-foot home where I had a bathroom the size of a kids bedroom, so this has been an adjustment. 🤣It’s a wonderful adjustment, but I’m learning to utilize my space much better.
Hey Carla! You should DEF check out the Dezignclub, it's the perfect place for you to get more help with your project! www.thedezignclub.com
@@LisaHoltDesign Thank you! I will! ✌🏼❤️
Just like Lisa states, there is no chance to fail with some classic pieces, like the Wishbone Chair (Wegner), the Tulip Table (Saarinen) or the Barcelona Chair (van er Rohe). They don't have to be the original ones, often quite expensive, but well crafted, with care. Manhattan Home Design is a good place to look for.
I had that black and white herringbone dress! OMG, I feel so old! I'm a minimalistic kind of person. Clean lines, simple but elegant and comfortable furniture is what I love. Loved this video and I've lived through the mid-century modern era. My personal tastes lean more toward a less is more classic modern with a splash of simple elegance. Barcelona chairs (I have two originals in chocolate brown) and a Saarinen Dining Table, (round with marble top) are my base pieces. Don't go crazy on me when I tell you that I've paired the dining table with charcoal grey Emeco Navy repurposed plastic chairs. I know, what was I thinking, but I do believe in doing my part in a small way to be eco-friendly. The chairs are amazingly comfortable and don't take up very much room. If you haven't seen them in the plastic form (Emeco in partnership with Coca-Cola), check them out, you will be surprised how durable and good they look. I also have a custom made charcoal grey tuxedo tight back sofa.. The tricky part is to not mix too much in my space to lose the individual beauty of each piece and yet have a cohesive look. I'm considering adding either a bent glass or Noguchi coffee table into my open concept living/dining room. Too much? I'm also trying to figure out a light fixture over the dining table. I'm moving so I'm rethinking how to best use the pieces I have and what would be good additions or deletions. My husband is always in fear that I will sell or give away pieces as he loves to hang on to things and I am the exact opposite.
I love your style, MJ!! I think you will enjoy being part of thedezignclub! Why don't you join s at thedezignclub.com/sales/ and get free access to our design library! We love to welcome new family members!! 💛
I love the PS5 pendant. I will put that in my space when I replace the boob light over my table. This was a great video. “Pick a lane” is timeless advice.
Parsons tables and Thonet chairs.
This is great. Mid-century Modern is often weird, sometimes ugly, and frequently surprising. I love being able to see what people can do with it that is pleasing without looking like they are living in "The Jetsons." Going through this with you, I realize how depressing I find the early part of the era, how silly I find the middle portion, and the latter years of it are pleasing to the eye in many ways, but too much like movie sets that one would not wish to live in. Sort of the latter part of the epoch is a place that would be fun to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there. I must say, when you started showing us current rooms done in the style and breaking it down for us, I found most of them to be aesthetically pleasing in many ways. It may be that as reinterpretations with modern materials, they dispensed with extremes and some of the kitsch. The green room you showed was doable thanks to natural light and the artificial lighting chosen. This was fun and made it seem possible to live with this stuff. LOL.
I've never seen mad with love. Looks so fun.
I love the color of the box room after the floating fireplace.
Lol. It's MAD MEN and DOWN with love.
The first is a series, the second is a movie.
You look great - as always 🤩. When I was able to afford the Eames Lounge Chair, I was completely over the moon for a few days. My grandma gave me the Knoll sofa shortly before. It has since been reupholstered but is still one of my favorite pieces. The thing about midcentury pieces, though, is that good design pieces and excellent quality are outrageously expensive. My style is also more transitional, especially after the great Biedermeier furniture has fallen in price and the clear lines can be combined well.
Lucky you, Helena!! 💛
Lisa you look so adorable! ❤️
As a baby boomer born in the 1950s this is dazzling. One thing, you're leaving out a movie that zooms in on design features of the 50, in a very specific way. The movie is "The Courtship of Eddie's Father" (NOT the tv series) Check it out. It's one of my favorite movies.
Ooh, I will add that on my list! Thank you so much, Gypsee!! 💛
My sister had the Mondrian dress with the same mod hairstyle with bangs.
I love the set of - Peregrine Fisher Modern Murder Mystery... If I was to design my living space it would definitely be inspired by that look.
Yes I loved that series too...the sets and costumes were great...wish it was still on.
Sorry this is not about the video exactly but what yellow did you use inside those cabinets? They are lovely!
Design Within Reach sells a lot of mid century furniture and textiles. I have a wish list if items from this store. 💗
4:42, fun fact : that's Oliver and Lisa Douglas' apartment in the opening to ''Green Acres'' the 60's sitcom, the living room and the terrace. it's so iconic you don't miss it. check it out. Quick Note for Decor Fun, the book ''Interior Desecrations'' lots of laughs.
Is it okay to mix styles? We have a round tulip dining table and tulip chairs with a Sputnik hanging lamp in the dining room, but a lot of wood tones and danish modern furniture in the living room
Carnaby Street. Twiggy. Jean Shrimpton, London Mod. Mondrian. I only watched Mad Men for the furniture. I have an op art blouse like that dress
Room at 6:57 is unreal ❤️
HELP! I have a great MCM Walnut Dining Table with splayed leg design with 6 wishbone chairs. I want to add 2 "head" chairs. I want them to be more comfortable and different from the wishbone. What is a good accomanying chair?
Why don’t you come join us at dezignspace.com There’s a live event Q&A happening this Saturday, 15th of April. Send pictures with your question to get prioritised. All best ☺️
Is it just me or was this video reposted? I feel like I have seen this previously. Thank you for the info.
Oh yes! But this video has so much valuable info you can use!! 💛
what about the cesca chair Lisa? in which context would you place it?
Hey, Patty! Let's chat about this at thedezignclub.com! Shoot me a message!! 💛
Favorite video so far. Mid century modern is my favorite period. I love all interior design styles truly but the one I have for my living room at the moment is mid century. I enjoy more of these period/era videos if you could do more. I love the history lesson, Hollywood references followed by the tips in how to achieve the look. Your content is very entertaining but ultimately helpful. Reminds me of my art history teacher in college ❤️
JACKIE !!!
I’m not sure how UA-cam works and if you will ever see this, seeing as the video is from 9 months ago, however, I have a question. We have a very expensive mistake in our house. I chose a teal blue leather sofa a couple of years ago which I am finding hard to paint/decorate around now. I am trying to choose paint colours for the main floor that has light hardwood floors and to be determined kitchen & entryway flooring. I feel like white is my only option. I realize that I am likely not giving you enough information but do you have any suggestions?
Hey Beth, pls check out my site, I can help al lot more ppl with direct Q&As there....thedezignclub.com
The Thunderbirds tv show decorscreams MCM to me.
I think I like the case goods best about mid century modern. Although I get confused as to why some have splayed legs and some are not. Is that also depending on the time? (I prefer the straight legs.)
Yes, you quite got that one right, Armita! If you want to learn more about design styles and furniture, I recommend you joining us at thedezignclub.com/sales/ and get free access to our design library! We have an ongoing spring special membership of only $9.95/month. See you there!! 💛
Ooo . . . MCM is a style I struggle with. I love the occasional oddly shaped piece mixed in with other styles, but the full-on treatment is a no for me. Maybe because I remember when it got super mainstream back in the late 60s. The great thing about it is it wears like iron, so you can get great value for thrift store prices . . . you know, if it's your thing.
