The beauty of the West Elm Mid-Century bedroom collection lies in the simple use of natural wood, with careful consideration for the grain of the wood and the direction of its patterning. Read more…
When you look at the bedside table for example, you will notice that the sides of the unit boast vertical planks with the wood grain moving in a vertical direction, while the frontage of the unit showcases a horizontal design.
The chest of drawers use the grain of the wood in a similar way, with the frontage of every furnishing following a horizontal direction to create harmony throughout the bedroom space.
This, paired with the slightly angled legs which remain a hallmark of this collection, creates balance and offsets the otherwise quite heavy aesthetic of layered natural wood.
The bed frame is an effortless focal point of the bedroom, and the West Elm Mid-Century structure is no different.
A chunky, natural wood design catches the eye and neatly compliments any surrounding colour scheme and interior plan, be it modern and minimalist or more colourful.
The legs are rounded to offset the straight edges of the headboard and frame, matching the similarly rounded legs across the bedside tables and storage furnishings.
