There was just an article about why everything is beige.<p>I was unaware that "midcentury modern" was a relatively new term. My neighborhood was built up between around 1955 - 1963, and there are a lot of "modern" houses, including a couple attributed to Frank Lloyd Wright.<p>My family's house is a plain rectangular box with practically no decorations. Of course we bought it because of location, condition, price, etc. Inside, it's mostly "Scandinavian." The walls are white.<p>One thing I like about this style is that it works in a relatively small house. Things are actually smaller.<p>The alternative when this house was built, was orange plush carpet, grotesque wallpaper, and huge stuffed sofas.
