Flickr Features: The Colors of Mid Century Modernism!

We show you plenty of great examples of Mid-Century Modern furniture, interiors and architecture here on the Swank Lighting blog, but something we often don't pay a lot of attention to is color. The Mid-Century era had its very own color scheme, and incorporating or finding inspiration from these colors can help bring a super retro-feel to your spaces--whether you bring them in on Mid-Century furniture or not. Perfect for paint colors, accessories and yes, even furniture, the colors found in these fun Flickr finds would look great in an interior meant to embody a Mid-Century Modern feel.

Flickr Features: Colorful and Bold Interiors!

We guess we just can't get enough of Verner Panton's inspiring style of bright, bold and colorful furniture and interiors---we've had a colorful theme running through all of our posts all week! Today's post is no different: we've gathered some gorgeous and bold interior photos from Flickr. It takes a special person to decorate and live in a home with more than two or three bold and dominant colors, could you?

Flickr Features: Minimalist Interiors!

Last Flickr Features we brought you lots of photos of homes considered to be futuristic. Often times, when we say the word "modern" we refer to one of our favorite styles "Mid-Century Modern" a style that was popularized in the 1950s and 1960s. Modern can refer to any number of interior decoration styles, though, one of which is minimalism. An often misunderstood style, many people at first glance consider these sleek, simple and starkly furnished rooms as cold or inhuman. Minimalism, which favors no ornamentation and function over form, can be warm and comfortable, however, and the less stuff you have the less you have to clean! We bring to you today some great photos from a Flickr group called "Modern Minimalism." Judge for yourself whether you think minimalism is cold or comfortable! And be sure to check out all the photos we didn't feature in the group yourself.
