Mid-Century Modernism design took place between the 1950s and 1960s. The architectural design elements for this movement included flat roofs, asymmetrical profiles, expansive glass window walls, clean lines, open floor plans, and worked towards combining the outside and inside spaces. This was the first design movement to use bi-level structures and it was most popular on the western coast. As they tried to incorporate the outdoors with the indoors, it is no wonder that the color scheme for this design involved a majority of warm, earthy tones (olive green, burnt umber, pumpkin, and mustard yellow). A lot of malleable material was used in the creation of the furniture to make interesting designs.
