If you are redecorating and considering a bit of mid-century style for your home, like I am, here are ten of the best beach-style living rooms that I have found.
This living room
in a 1954 ranch house has been furnished with blue Danish modern seating and a
vintage sofa around a Harry Bertoia wooden-topped coffee table. The white
walls and sheer curtains give the room a light and airy, almost beachy feel. I
love this room, and the Pony tail palm in the retro bullet pot is a special
touch.
This room also has a deep blue sofa, but the red accent chair gives it a more nautical flair.

Off-white and aqua work well with timber - note the brass light which looks great with the timber table and stainless steel legged chair.

And with dark grey. This grey partition fireplace wall gives the paler furniture a dramatic backdrop.

But the grey, white and bright green combination works too.
This sophisticated room is given a touch of fun with lime green accents.
This aqua and yellow combination has a very 'Gidget' 1960's beach-house feel to it.
And here is a contemporary room with a mid-century modern feel, also with a splash of yellow The stone fireplace is the feature, but the TV is also accommodated. The windows don't have any coverings, which accentuate the design's strong geometric lines rather than looking undone.
This green and orange combination is a very traditional mid-century color scheme - bold and beautiful.
And this original mid-century room shows that not all walls have to be white. Bright can work too.
I think I like the white, grey aqua best. And I so wish I could have a stone fireplace!
Which one's your favourite?
