It's perhaps one of the most beloved design styles of all time: mid-century modern endures thanks to its versatility and undeniable chicness.
Matthew McConaughey proves this point with his own take on the MCM trend, which he has shared to his Instagram page. The actor's study area features a relaxed, leather and wood armchair, a sleek, rectangle-shaded lamp, and earth-toned wallpaper for an effortless and warming corner.
The shapely silhouettes and subtle yet impactful floral pattern on the wallpaper feel trendy and timeless all at once: and lucky for us, we discovered the exact wallpaper Matthew has to recreate the look courtesy of bespoke brand MindTheGap.

This gorgeous wallpaper is an exact match for Matthew's, with soothing earth tones and subtle florals creating a timeless wall covering.
Mid-century modern furniture is known to be low slung and angular in design. This accent chair is the perfect example. Place it in the corner of your bedroom and let its mid-century flair enhance the look of the space.
This beautiful black and white lamp invites innovation and style. Its open shape would work well in a dark space, for promoting brightness and warmth.
There is so much to love about this space, but first and foremost, the earthy wallpaper is one to covet. Floral wallpaper can all too often feel stuffy and traditional, but the muted, neutral brown color and dainty, blue floral pattern are absolutely contemporary and fit in well to the mid-century modern design scheme. At under $260 for a roll, it's a worthwhile investment for a library or study.
I also love the mix of materials that the armchair brings to the space. Leather and wood both harken back to the natural world; leather provides a moodiness, while wood grounds the space. I love this upholstered chair from Wayfair as a lighter alternative, with a durable wood frame and comfortable, cream cushions.
Finally, a unique table lamp is an essential for any working or reading space in my opinion, and I love the rectangular one Matthew has opted for. In the realm of a geometric-forward lighting solution, I adore this ring-shaped table lamp from Visual Comfort for a similar impact on a desk or table.
Matthew certainly has me convinced that the rule of three is always a winner, particularly when it comes to a MCM space.
