Building Your Look

Starting your mid-century modern journey may seem like a daunting investment of time and money, but in our experience, it doesn’t have to be. You can gradually foster the style and comfort you want in your home without diving headfirst into complete overhauls or breaking your budget on entire furniture sets. 

You can easily begin the process of creating your personalized mid-Century Modern space with smaller purchases, nuanced additions, and stand-alone centerpieces that play a significant role in changing the tone of your room to your liking. At Hip, we focus on catering our ideas and suggestions to your needs, and this includes helping you customize orders and find affordable items to suit your home. 

Here are just a few examples from our inventory that can make a great start to your new, mid-century modern space, whether you are looking to add small incorporations or set an impression with one large piece that you can later build around. 

Large Starter Pieces That Make a Modern Statement

Coffee tables can play a significant role in setting the tone of a living room or social area, and The Lunas Drum Coffee table by Four Hands is no exception. Its bold drum shape and sleek Guanacaste surface make it a distinguished but visually soothing main feature of any room. With a reasonable price, this table makes a great starter piece for your home or work space.

Helena Media Console 

When media is the focus of your room, controlling its placement can provide a great opportunity to shape the tone of your space. With the Helena Media Console, you can show a clearly modern style with its varied cubic compartments and organic pine panels that are interlaced with a black iron frame.  

 

Accents and smaller additions 

Poppy End Tables by Four Hands

These end tables are a great example of smaller, affordable home additions that can change a room’s character. With maneuverability and multiple color options, these tables make a great-priced surface for smaller spaces and tight fits.
