Homes & Garden: Colman Domingo's Mid-Century Living Space Breaks Every Design Rule – It's a Riot of Art, Color, and Texture
Vibrant spaces mix hard and soft edges, muted and vibrant shades, and natural materials with modernist designs
We're always inclined to be rule followers when it comes to interior design in our homes, and while that certainly helps to create a coherent scheme, it can also hold us back from complete freedom of expression. Colman Domingo has chosen to adopt his own, very personal sense of style in his mid-century living space through a mix of bold artwork, contrasting materials, and a mix of furniture styles and silhouettes.
While mid-century modern ideas are usually rooted in a more minimalist aesthetic, with clean lines and muted colors, Colman Domingo's space leans into a distinctly playful feel, thanks to graffiti-inspired art, sumptuous textures, and crafted details.
Patti Wilbourne, Founder of PWD Studio, based in Charleston, says: 'The key to warming up a mid-century interior is embracing contrast – using a tonal palette that evokes quiet sophistication while layering textures and bold finishes that invite touch and create depth. The result is a space that feels both refined and lived-in.'
