It may seem daunting to design a midcentury modern–inspired home, but upand-coming interior designer Karen Nepacena shows that by using just a few
design guideposts anyone can make any room feel like a set from Mad Men
or The Queen's Gambit. Showcasing real-life client redesigns, Nepacena goes
room by room - and outside - offering bite-sized ways to create comfortable,
stylish, and inviting spaces along the way.
Full of approachable insider tips and tricks, easy DIYs, and important
historical context, you'll learn how to create inspired, livable spaces full of midmod charm without the need for large-scale renovations or a big budget.
Featuring the photography of Christopher Dibble.
Karen Nepacena is known for her ability to blend beauty and practicality, solve
unique design problems, and make interior design approachable for
homeowners. She quickly emerged as one of the country's leading authorities
on midcentury modern design when her firm, Destination Eichler, restored her
family's Eichler home. Her blog of the same name chronicled the journey and
captured the attention of outlets such as Domino, Dwell, HGTV Magazine,
Apartment Therapy, and Atomic Ranch. Karen also has a passion for vintage
pieces and DIY design projects that get the whole family involved. She lives in
the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband, two sons, and rescue dog,
Velvet. Midcentury Modern Style is her first book.
