We were thrilled to be able to sponsor the Sacramento Mid-Century Modern Home Tour this past weekend. Showcasing 7 Sacramento homes, a swanky vintage car show and several notable points in between, the tour was full of serious eye candy (let’s be real—who doesn’t like peeking into other people’s homes)?
This week we’ll be highlighting different aspects of the tour, but today I wanted to focus on something that caught my eye in some way through each of the homes: patterns. Whether it was old-school upholstery, a unique wallpaper or just a fitting color combo within a space, there was plenty of pattern play happening throughout the tour.
Here’s a closer look at some of my favorites:
(Apologies for my less-than-spectacular photos—Ansel Adams of home tours, I am not.)

A family of multi-colored polka dots can do no wrong.

Loved this mod print on a classic mid-century chair.

Was sort of enamored with the circle play happening here.

Such a great pattern, paired beautifully with a crisp navy/gray chair.

This cool retro design was hand-painted on a tabletop by one of the homeowners.

A perfect balance of color and a just-right amount of playfulness in these patterned pillows.

This quirky wallpaper was perfect for the girls changing room next to the pool.

Quinessentially retro wallpaper that lined one of the closet/bathroom areas.

A room divider with clean and modern lines that are a signature of the mid-century.
Did that take you back? Stay tuned for more highlights from the tour the rest of this week!
