Midtown Modern
Hustle, excitement and a fast paced, on-the-go lifestyle. The Midtown Modern trend describes when you want to savor every moment of each day that goes by — work hard to play hard. City living can sometimes move faster than we want it to, so this is an opportunity to turn your place into a modern space that allows for a moment of pause.

Trend Characteristics
Live a "rich," urban lifestyle by implementing saturated hues like black or navy. Accent with a bright brass statement piece or any metal finish that you desire for that special sparkle. Plush fabrics like velvet, wool and satin can help elevate the vibe.
Project: Geometric Wall Mural
Sara Davis took inspiration from the 2023 Design Trend "Midtown Modern" to refresh her home with a unique accent wall.
Sara, from Sincerely, Sara D., painted the base coat in a high-gloss finish and created a design using FrogTape®. After painting over the wall with matte finish paint and removing the tape, Sara was left with a unique and gorgeous accent wall.

- If your hardware is losing its luster, simply remove it and spray paint it with a new finish for a fresh look.
- Give your end table a new look using wooden dowels. Glue a dowel around the perimeter of your table — or any piece of furniture — and paint for an instant makeover!
- Create a unique accent wall by painting the base coat in a glossy black paint. Allow to dry and then use FrogTape® Delicate Surface Painter’s Tape to lay out a design. Next, paint over the wall with matte finish, dark charcoal paint, pull off the tape and voila!
