Steal This Look: An Authentic Midcentury Modern Bedroom

June 4, 2019

When Carla and Niall Maher bought a 1950 suburban ranch house in Westchester, New York, the couple made a commitment to midcentury style. Built into a hillside among other midcentury houses by Roy S. Johnson and Stanley Torkleson, the house was sheetrocked and whitewashed by previous owners (and an Ikea kitchen to boot). The Mahers unearthed the original house plans and restored it to the way it had been. The master bedroom is complete with midcentury furniture, lighting, and Pendleton bedding. Here, we dissect the look.
