Atomic Mid-Century Modern Decor for Junkies

It’s time to inject some playful atomic age style into your home decor items. If you’re an Atomic junkie, you were a fan of The Jetson’s, the drive-in, and stylish signage from a bygone era.

Googie design architecture still exists in the United States and Canada. You’ll find old relic signage or diner styles that haven’t changed since the 1950s!

Googie architecture dominated the United States with futurism. There was car culture with pointy-edged lights, jets, Space, and Atomic Age. Originating in Southern California, it grew in popularity in the 1930s. Streamline Moderne Architecture was the prevalent design architecture theme of the 1930s. Googie would become popular from 1945 through the early 1970s.

The safest place to start your experimentation with Atomic Age decor is the bathroom. Some view the bathroom as impersonal and others view it as the perfect room to experiment and spruce up. Let’s start with a few interesting home decor items that will fit in with the Atomic/Googie design.

ArtSocket’s Atomic Mid-Century Modern Shower Curtain

What can we say? Let’s start with the shower curtain. ArtSocket’s product provides the perfect blend between retro and no bling. You definitely do not want any pattern to be overbearing. We love this shower curtain because of the simple pattern, style, and friendly colors. The atomic starburst is a nice pale (not lime) or dark green and turquoise arrangement.

The shower curtain itself comes in three sizes:

• 60 inches (width) by 72 inches (length)
• 72 inches (width) by 72 inches (length)
• 72 inches (width) by 78 inches (length)

The curtain is polyester, waterproof, and is not see-through to ensure privacy. The product comes with twelve plastic curtain hooks. Perfect for bathtubs, shower stalls, or bathrooms.

The curtain is machine washable in cold water. If you iron the curtain, make sure it’s in a low-temperature setting. You do not want to dry clean, tumble dry (tears!), or bleach this product.

Customers rate this a winner and a perfect “mid-century modern” curtain. 😉

How about we excite you a little further? What about some beautiful matching pillow covers?!

ArtSocket wasn’t messing around with any of us. Matching atomic pattern decor for your living room is another easy way to spice your home.

The pillow covers come in four sizes.

The pillowcases have the same pattern matching on both sides. The material is a short-pile velvet. You may be asking, what the heck is that? It’s woven tufted fabric, cut in threads, and evenly distributed. The soft feel is the result of short dense piling. The velvet is likely synthetic but could be natural fiber.

The pillowcases are machine washable in cold water. The manufacturer recommends a gentle cycle, no bleach, and no tumble-drying. They do not recommend ironing but if required, low temperature is best. The turquoise and white pillowcase is the matching set for the curtain above.
