One element that will always remain a top contender in any decorating style is having pattern. Pattern brings character to the forth front, making it fantastic for those that need a little something to liven up the room. Bring in a classic pattern to make the room come to life. Furthermore, a classic pattern will help you play with color without having to take away from the texture you have.
Unique

Moreover, embrace color to truly take your decor to the next level.
Artsy & Iconic
For a modern approach, consider an artsy and iconic twist. Though mid-century decor tends to be a bit more undertone, minimal and earthy, sometimes it can be textured and artsy. If you want to create a more artsy touch, bring in bold art pieces and pair it with classic furniture pieces. The contrast itself will make the room, have that traditional aesthetic with just a kiss of bold. Furthermore, it makes the room feel grand.
Metallic Center table
Sometimes having a metallic center table could be just what the room needs for a new feel. Even if you do not change your decor, and simply bring a metallic twist, just that alone can be a game-changer. Bring in a floral array or even greenery to add that classic touch instead of keeping everything appearing the same. It’s the perfect iconic aesthetic.
High Contrast
Contrast is one of those things that just works exceptionally well, especially when you are working with color. The high contrast comes into play when you work with a multitude of colors and allow them to be a focal point individually as well as together. It’s all about making the room have an intricate approach that is simultaneously intricate yet casual. Furthermore, it’s about making the best out of a new and raw color palette. Work with bold hues that are contrasting yet contemporary all at once.

It’s all about luxury and making the room feel as expensive as possible without having to spend a hefty amount. Make the room feel sleek by adding in a round coffee table, modern armchair, and texture felt throughout the entire room.
Wood
