Bringing Mid-Century Modern Style Home with the Right Dining Bench
The right dining bench for a mid century modern look has a low horizontal profile, warm timber such as teak or walnut and slim tapered legs that lift it off the floor. This guide explains what defines mid century furniture and which features to look for in a bench, from slatted or solid seats to textured upholstery in mustard, olive or rust. We look at choosing a table with matching lines, measuring between splayed legs, and mixing the bench with curved wooden chairs. You will also find ideas for building the wider room, including a low sideboard, globe pendants, warm wall colours, geometric rugs and edited accessories, and how to carry the style through an open plan space into the living area. We compare teak, walnut and oak tones, share ways to avoid a themed result by mixing eras and limiting period colours, and cover simple care for timber benches.
