California style is a highly popular, versatile design style. One particular branch of California style is California Mid Century Modern, which takes the calming coastal elements of California style and blends them with iconic mid century modern furniture and accents. To determine if this style is the right fit for your home, it is important to know the style’s rich history, key characteristics, and ongoing influence.
This aesthetic isn’t just highlighted in paint colors, furniture, and accents; architecture is a key component of this style and has been since the very beginning. California remains home to many iconic MCM homes, such as the Stahl House (Case Study House #22), The Eames House, and the Kaufmann Desert House. Each of these homes feature the clean lines and minimalist details associated with the style, but they also accentuate the style’s love of indoor/outdoor living. Even though they have existed for many decades now, these homes remain highly stylish thanks to their embracing of the iconic style.

Like other branches of MCM style, California Mid Century Modern style emphasizes natural materials like wood, stone, and plants. Traditional MCM style tended to use purely earth tones like varying shades of brown, clay, and green, but the Californian branch uses those colors as accents as opposed to the primary colors. These hues along with other brighter tones are used as accent colors to reinforce the style’s overall airy, calming tone. Wood furniture and accents used in California Mid Century Modern homes are typically lighter or bleached woods for that same reason.
California MCM style is an appealing style for anyone, whether you live on the west coast, east coast, or anywhere else on the globe. Between the style’s emphasis on nature, simplicity, and human connection, there is a lot to love about this style. Now that you have a better understanding of the style’s iconic features and key principles, you can decide if this style suits your home and if it does, you can create your ideal California Mid Century Modern home.
