The mid-20th century was characterised by clear lines, organic shapes and geometric patterns. Today, the Mid Century style is trendy again and especially popular with those who want to create a retro-style interior. Our wallpapers complement the style perfectly and interpret it in a creative way.
From old to new
The Mid-Century Modern style of living has many faces, because it combines modern elements with furnishings from the past. The mix brings freshness to the home and gives a nostalgic touch at the same time.
Mid-century style – a fresh take on retro design
The mid-century style is celebrating a strong comeback – and for good reason. Photomurals in a mid-century design bring the elegance, clarity and vibrancy of the 40s to 60s directly into your own four walls. Whether as a retro-style accent wall or as a full-surface eye-catcher: this style impresses with its timeless aesthetics and diverse design options.
1. What makes the mid-century style special
- Timeless elegance: clean lines, organic shapes and subtle colour palettes make this style look fresh and modern even after decades.
- Versatility: the look can be effortlessly combined with different interior styles – from Scandinavian to industrial to boho
- Strength of character: Graphic patterns, geometric photomurals and retro-inspired colours add stylish accents without being intrusive.
- Harmonious combination of design and comfort: The mid-century style emphasises functionality and comfort – ideal for those who prefer a coherent overall look.
2. Stylish use of mid-century photomurals – ideas for different rooms
Living room:Abstract patterns or warm colours as an eye-catcher behind the sofa or sideboard create a relaxed, stylish atmosphere. As with the ‘Cultive’ photomural, a harmonious overall picture is created in combination with warm wood and minimalist furniture - a relaxed retro lounge with timeless elegance.
Bedroom: Graphic photomurals on the headboard make a striking statement. Subtle nuances in beige, petrol or pastel, as in our ‘Palmiers’ wallpaper, create a calm and cosy atmosphere.
Dining room & kitchen:Geometric prints come into their own when combined with typical mid-century furniture such as a round wooden table, sideboards or minimalist dressers. The result: an elegant, functional room with vintage charm – ideal for lovers of retro details and clean lines.
Home office: linear patterns, such as those found in the ‘delta’ photomural, promote concentration and creativity – perfect for productive work in style.
Bathroom: a mid-century photomural also sets stylish accents in the bathroom. Graphic patterns or subtle colour gradients, such as those found in our ‘Whisper World’ photomural, bring retro charm into play. In combination with clear lines and elegant details, a modern ambience with nostalgic flair is created – ideal for retro-style wall design. Moisture-resistant non-woven wallpapers ensure durability.
3. Mid-century meets modern living trends – stylish combinations
The appeal of mid-century design lies not only in its timeless aesthetics, but also in its versatility. The clear design language and harmonious colour scheme make the style wonderfully combinable with other interior design trends. This is how exciting living concepts with personality and style awareness are created.
Mid-century & Scandinavian – clear, bright, cosy
This combination is characterised by reduced forms, light colours and natural materials. A graphic mid-century photomural in soft earth tones goes perfectly with light-coloured wooden furniture, linen fabrics and minimalist decorative elements. Ideal for anyone who wants to combine the ‘hygge’ effect with a retro flair.
Mid-century & industrial – design classics meet loft charm
Combining mid-century furniture and photomurals with concrete, brick walls or metal details creates an exciting contrast: soft shapes and graphic patterns meet urban cool. Particularly suitable: bold geometric photomurals, which look particularly good as a feature wall in a loft style.
Mid-century & boho – creative, natural, relaxed
If you like the mid-century style but prefer it a little softer and more playful, it combines wonderfully with boho elements such as macramé, plants, rattan and colourful textiles. Retro photomurals in natural colours go well with this style. The result is a casual, creative interior design style with character.
Mid-century & Japandi – a harmony of calm and elegance
Japandi combines Japanese aesthetics with Scandinavian minimalism and is a perfect match for the mid-century style. A discreet retro photomural in muted colours, combined with dark wood, simple furniture and plenty of space for tranquillity, creates a harmonious overall look with a Zen flair.
