Not without reason - it combines noble simplicity, timeless elegance and functionality.

Mid-century modern style - classics in a modern edition

Mid-century modern is a style rooted in the 1940s-60s, which evolved from the need to return to functionality after the era of glamour of art déco. It is characterized by simple geometric lines, organic forms, the use of natural materials such as wood, stone and glass, and a love of daylight, large windows and open spaces. The style blends perfectly with today's interior trends - including the increasingly common need to personalize spaces and the search for ecological and sustainable solutions.

Małgorzata Niedzielska's design fully captures the spirit of mid-century modern, without losing touch with modernity. The interior was designed to combine classical inspirations with functional solutions of the 21st century. As a result, the kitchen will become not only an aesthetic showcase of the house, but also a place of everyday comfort.

Comfort, functionality and color harmony

The heart of the project will be the olive green kitchen cabinetry, the color of which gently harmonizes with the natural materials used in the arrangement - the wooden ceiling and stone floor. Green will also appear in the details - the upholstery of the minimalist chairs and the corner sofa. It is such consistent color accents that will build a sense of order and thoughtful composition in the interior.

A tall, well-lit room in the design makes the kitchen breathe - both literally and visually. The natural light, which is to come in from the left, will subtly emphasize the texture of the materials: the texture of the wood, the matte of the stone and the softness of the upholstery. The result? A space that delights aesthetically while inviting everyday use.

Modern design in the service of the user

The focal point of the kitchen will be a monumental, navy blue section of the kitchen built-in, in which a modern Samsung Bespoke refrigerator will be hidden. This is not only a design accent, but also a symbol of a new approach to kitchen equipment - personalized, functional and conscious. In Małgorzata Niedzielska's design, the refrigerator will not only fulfill the role of household appliances - it will be a totemic, almost sculptural element, evoking associations with primitive cultures and applied arts. This is a reference to the history of design, and at the same time an expression of the contemporary approach to space arrangement: as a comprehensive, conscious and non-accidental composition.

Project with Grand Prix award

The presented kitchen was awarded the Grand Prix in the second edition of Samsung's "Design with Bespoke" competition. The jury appreciated above all stylistic consistency, functionality and innovative approach to classic patterns. The honorable mention in the second stage of the competition, dedicated to the mid-century modern style, further emphasizes how accurately the design captures the spirit of the era without losing touch with modernity.

Małgorzata Niedzielska's project is a model of realization that perfectly combines:

  • timeless design,
  • individual approach to the user,
  • functionality and comfort,
  • as well as attention to the smallest details - from the choice of materials to the layout of the kitchen work zones.

Kitchen as the heart of the home - a new quality of arrangement

Modern kitchens cease to be just a place for preparing meals - they become the center of home life, a space for meetings, relaxation and work. That is why it is so important to design them with functionality in mind, but also with aesthetics that will support daily rituals. The mid-century modern style kitchen, designed by Małgorzata Niedzielska, fits perfectly into this philosophy. Its space is both modern and warm, geometric but not austere, practical yet full of character. It's an inspiring interior that can serve as a starting point for those planning their own kitchen arrangements - both in new homes and for apartment renovations.

Mid-century modern in practice - how to arrange your own kitchen?

For readers of the portal who would like to create a kitchen in the style of mid-century modern, we have prepared some practical tips:

  • bet on wood - preferably walnut, teak or oak, both in furniture and details,
  • choose subdued colors - greens, blues, navy blues and olives, often juxtaposed with white or gray,
  • combine materials - stone, ceramics, natural fabrics and glass,
  • take care of natural light - large windows or thoughtful ambient lighting,
  • respect proportions - this style does not like exaggeration, but tolerates bold accents well,
  • use modern household appliances that not only look good, but realistically support daily convenience.

The mid-century modern style kitchen is a perfect example of how tradition and modernity can form a cohesive, inspiring whole. Małgorzata Niedzielska's design proves that a kitchen can be beautiful, useful and timeless at the same time.
