Elegant Midcentury Modern Dining Room
This elegant, Midcentury Modern dining room flawlessly blends textures, patterns and materials to create a perfect execution of the Midcentury style. The clean lines of the modern table, buffet and chairs are softened by the velour fabric that covers the dining chairs, while the roughness of the wicker rope rug and planter adds texture to the space. These elements combine to give this space an elegant, Midcentury Modern look.

Nothing in the home design world ushers in autumn quite like velvet. Seeing this elegant, luxurious fabric mentally prepares us for cooler temps. It makes an appearance on runways every year around this time, but what’s different this year is the sheer variety of colors available, and many designers’ use of it in home textiles. Velvet is simultaneously warm, rich, alluring and glamorous. Use it sparingly to get it right. Here are 8 ways to design with velvet to make your space feel more luxe.

Make your living room infinitely more inviting with a few of these floor pillows from Urban Outfitters.
