Vintage furniture and objects that decorate with originality: be inspired by these ideas
Timeless colors and classic lines: this is the charm of the Mid-Century style, the style that was so popular in the United States in the middle of the last century (from the 40s to the 60s, in particular) and which left its mark all over the world. Think of TV series like Mad Men, and here you will be able to immediately identify the environments characterized by the earthy colors and futuristic lines.
It was an aesthetic style that involved not only larger pieces of furniture such as sofas, armchairs and wardrobes, but also the accessories used every day: from coffee makers to lamps. It is a style of decor that still finds many admirers, and in fact, there is an online community where users share the treasures they have found on the internet, at auctions or perhaps inherited from other family members. Check out these ideas with a decidedly vintage flavor:
Memorable dressers: this is a set of Broyhill Brasilia furniture that had been left by the previous owner of a house and sold to a lucky buyer. The former didn't want them, and got rid of them for only $ 100 dollars.

A user says: "I found this beautiful piece on Facebook marketplace for only $ 10. After a lot of stripping and sanding, here is the result".

A chest of Dixie drawers at two heights, complete with a mirror: a unique piece that furnishes a large part of a room.
Then there is even this coffee pot, powered by a candle (!) which was found in a second-hand shop: these shops are the source of many vintage pieces that can become unexpected treasures in home furnishing.
Maybe the TV doesn't work, but it wouldn't hurt to have this "media station" from another era to listen to vinyl records at home!
The Mid Century style is a lively union of neutral colors, broken by shades of greater depth and geometric lines that, avoid any sharp edges, rather preferring soft and organic movement. This living room has been assembled in a modern home, but it is a perfect tribute to a decades-old decor.
If you were wondering what model this sofa is, someone among the commentators of the post identified it as "Kroehler Smartset Design - Modular 4-Piece Sectional". It dates back to the 1950s - 1960s, but fits perfectly into this modern living room.
