One of our new sofas. Part of the #livingroommakeover I love the simplicity of the mid century modern style with lovely curves and splayed tapered legs. 🧡 Vibrant orange was quite a bold move for us having previously owned two rather dull beige sofas. 🧡 #midcenturymodern #midcentury #midcenturyfurniture #midcenturymodernhome #retro #retrofurniture #retrodecor #retroaesthetic #midcenturydecor #sofa #sofas #sofastyling #sofastyling #sofascandinavian #sofaretro #livingroom #livingroomdecor #livingroomdesign #livingroominspiration #livingroomideas #livingspaces #livingroominterior #livingroomfurniture #sofacushion #livingroomdesigns #orangesofa #midcenturystyle #livingroomdesignideas #newfurniture #livingroomupdate
