Create the artistic dining room of your dreams with Upstate Amish. Customize a set of MCM Amish dining furniture and choose the right artwork to compliment it.
Make your dining room feel like a passage to an earlier time with our collection of vintage dining furniture. First, choose from our dining table collection. Styles with classic mid century design are: Astoria, Monroe, MCM Round, and Shaker Mid Century.
Next, choose from our selection of dining chairs in the same style. These include: Windsor, Atlas, Cordelle, Tulsa, and Laker. We recommend choosing natural walnut wood to complete the look. This species was common during the initial art movement.
Pictured below is our Monroe table with Windsor and Cordelle chairs. This attractive set features high contrast of organic shapes central to MCM style. The defined, diagonal lines of the Cordelle chair mesh well with the rounded, gentle shapes of the Windsor style.
Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions about our Amish, handmade furniture. Each piece is solid wood for beautiful, heirloom quality furniture. Visit our store in Seneca, SC, call, or contact us via our website.
Abstract Wall Art for Dining Room
After choosing furniture, decide what size of dining room artwork would work best for your space. For large scale dining spaces, we recommend a statement piece with a wide frame. Oil paintings with an abstract combination of simple shapes are perfect.
This untitled piece by Jackson Polluck is an excellent compliment to mid century furniture. This piece of art is black and white, with no pop of color. Other similar artwork by Picasso and others also pair well with mid century dining sets. We recommend pairing this and similar black and white artwork with a bright upholstery color.
Our Cordelle and Tulsa chair styles specifically would look excellent with this abstract piece. The dramatic contrast between straight lines and organic curves meshes well with the painting style. We recommend our Celery and Cognac fabric or Oxblood genuine leather. Browse more options with Heartland Fabrics LLC, our upholstery supplier.
For smaller dining sets, we recommend artwork on a smaller scale. This could include a variety of MCM style pieces. Choose paintings that include organic shapes with varying white space and a light, airy look.
Another way to style mid century dining room paintings is to lean in to a more vibrant color scheme. An MCM color palette typically includes a mix of neutrals, primary colors, and highly specific shades. These include mustard yellow, olive green, burnt orange, and more.
To achieve a more organic look, choose solid wood seats with no upholstery, just natural walnut wood. The innate variation in color offers a lovely array of purple, gray, and red undertones. Wall art for a dining area like this should include bright pops of primary colors.
An excellent example is another untitled piece by Jackson Polluck from 1951. It features a deep red with an almost terracotta undertone for a gorgeous abstract piece. Since this painting mainly includes rounded shapes, furniture with clean, straight lines contrasts well. We recommend our Laker chairs and Monroe table to achieve this look.
Other Mid Century Dining Room Art Pieces
Aside from wall art, there are a variety of ways to add a creative touch to a dining space. Consider a selection of small sculptures either as a centerpiece or along a buffet. These could depict the human form in an abstract, flowing way like famous Irving Amen sculptures.
Another way to obtain a mid century look is careful selection of lighting fixtures. These often have an unusual look because of their lack of lampshades. Open bulbs with metal hardware create a unique look with a mix of straight, hard lines and bright, rounded shapes.
Rugs and carpeting are an additional way to add an abstract touch to your dining area artwork. Depending on the level of color already present in your dining space, choose between two styles.
A black and white rug with abstract pattern is perfect for an area that already has lots of color pops. For an dining space with little color and solid wood, turn the rug into a statement piece. Choose a style with organic shapes and bright, varied colors to complete the MCM look.
