50 DIY Midcentury Modern Furniture Ideas

Love the popular look of mid-century modern furniture? My parents had this style of furniture and I am just so upset I did not keep some, especially their dresser. With funky legs and accents, clean lines with a fun edge, mid-century modern furniture is timeless for a good reason. If you did not hold onto your parent’s old furniture, either or you can’t afford to buy the awesome designer mid-century furniture offered in stores, check out this project list of 50 ideas to get your going with a modern style on a budget. From bedroom furniture to cool living room decor pieces, you have plenty to choose from. I made the white dresser last weekend, a cool IKEA hack I could not pass up, and could not be more pleased with the results. We plan to update our bedroom, entirely using projects from this DIY list.

Really love this simple DIY because anything with a hairpin leg is a winner to me. I also love the natural look and it looks beautiful in any space around the house. All it takes are some plywood sheets, hairpin legs, and some wood glue/nails/screwdriver. Let Burkatron help you get started with their easy-to-follow tutorial.

Wow, this is so lovely! Another amazing project idea and I wouldn’t mind making this in the near future. I’m currently looking for a bookshelf and it might be a good idea to build one like this myself. I am also digging those plant accents they put beside the desk wall unit.

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
