At Frank Designs, we design interiors for all kinds of homes for all kinds of people, but our special love is for Mid-Century Modern homes. Here’s why.

​

Roots in the past

Mid-Century Modern homes began to flourish in the 1950s, with their clean lines, large windows, and open floor plans. These homes are designed to connect with nature, bringing the outdoors in with floor-to-ceiling glass and a focus on natural light. Their sleek, uncluttered style, blending both organic and geometric forms, creates a striking visual appeal. These architectural ideas traveled across the globe, inspired by modernist movements that reshaped design thinking.

​

Centered on people, not streets

One of their great features is that unlike older homes they’re designed for the shape of the land, the fall of the sun and the needs of the family. They embrace the environment and lifestyle, with layouts that respond to the natural landscape rather than following rigid urban designs.

​

Making the beautiful better

What’s the challenge for any designer working with a Mid-Century Modern home? To make the beautiful even better.

 

It means capitalizing on the brilliant crafted joinery and feature timbers that are the inbuilt jewelry of these homes. Making sure the home and the light flow seamlessly from inside to out.

​

Finally, it’s about ensuring the design ties the beauty built into the house with the personality of the people who live in it.
