There are so many reasons to love midcentury modern style [1]: its clean design, retro look, and vibrant colours are just a few that come to mind. With nostalgia back in the limelight now more than ever, it's no wonder people are adopting this once-popular '50s style into their homes.

As you can imagine, midcentury modern furniture can be pricey, but Target has a whole bunch of items that play the part for an affordable price tag [2].
