89,287 Midcentury Home Design Photos
Midcentury modern homes are modern houses from the 1950s and 1960s. Frequently referred to as both midcentury and midcentury modern, this well-recognized style includes Eichler ranches and split-level homes. Midcentury architecture has long and low rooflines, large windows, entry courtyards and an emphasis on indoor-outdoor living. Midcentury decor is easy to recognize — iconic furniture, pop art, geometric shapes and bright colors make the space feel retro and vintage.

Glass Walls With Privacy
Midcentury modern homes are well known for their soaring walls of glass. That’s an obvious design move if you have the benefit of a large lot and distant views. Midcentury modern houses were built as part of the postwar housing boom and were often located on postage stamp-sized lots in vast subdivisions. Creativity was needed to create privacy with the walls of adjacent homes located only a few feet away.
Tall garden walls often created privacy, turning a small lot in — pdsp
