Mid-century is a typical furniture style to inherit from family members. It is often given when you need furniture for your first home or rental, meaning you can have many mismatched interior pieces. Mid-century furniture is also popular in charity shops, pushed amongst utilitarian and post-war furniture. But why donate to a charity shop when you could earn some cashback by sending them through to our experts at Pack It Post It.
Mid-century modern is an American design movement that touched the styles of products, furniture, graphic design, architecture, and city development post WW2. Mid Century furniture depicts a simpler time when the world was first emerging into its mass production capabilities, making it cheaper to recover from the cost of war. As a result, unique styles were welcomed with a new sense of freedom, making the Mid-century modern interior design trend is a commonly recurring fashion style in media. As a result, many people will pay to find authentic mid-century furniture for their homes.
Many people love mid-century furniture for its nostalgia, reminding many in generations of a different time. The style is identifiable from its clean lines, gentle curves, and organic shapes. It uses affordable wood and almost depicts a designer's idea of what a futuristic style may look like. Mid-century furniture remains a good investment thanks to how sought after it has remained through style trends, with TV shows, movies and ageing generations keeping demand alive.
Mid-century furniture is not antique, as it is younger than 100 years old in style and trend. However, it can still be classified as vintage due to its age and desirability from collectors. By any definition, vintage refers to furniture made in the 20th century. However, it is used broadly and often refers to any period. It is widespread to hear the term vintage used interchangeably with mid-century and retro furniture.
Suppose you inherited furniture from a family member born between the 1940s and 1970s. This furniture will likely be made by Macintosh, G Plan or Nathan. These brands were popular in the 1800s, and the style held up throughout the century to the early 2000s. They created furniture that was symbolic of its time. While it is good quality, the type is particular and dated, making it difficult to merge with your existing and modern interior design. You can sell your vintage furniture to Pack It Post to clear much-needed space and earn some cash back from your inherited furniture.
