I have seen hundreds of mid-century modern spaces, but Troye Sivan's stunning entryway is my new favorite
The Austrailian singer uses stacked books, painted ceramics, and an innovative staircase to create a warm, welcoming energy in his ultra-stylish entryway


Mid-century modern has been the style du jour for celebrity homes for a few years now, gracing the spaces of Jennifer Aniston, Emma Roberts, and Diane Keaton.
Though I've spent cumulative days of my life trawling through images of celebrity mid-century modern homes, I've never seen anything quite like Troye Sivan's entryway. The Australian singer's space is the best example of the design style I've ever seen.
Troye worked with the acclaimed Flack Studio to transform the Melbourne-based Victorian property into his dream home. For those who love 1970s trends and Troye Sivan's music, the space feels like the perfect marriage of the two.

I couldn't be without my portable lamp. I no longer have to worry if my side table is close to a power outlet and I can carry this lamp from room to room. Plus, the gorgeous gold color is the perfect splash of color.
This gorgeous mid-century modern style chair will add character to any room. It is a statement way to capture this trend, and this armchair is a design classic that will endure.
This decorative bowl looks like stone but is actually hard-carved wood – making it ideal and lightweight for homes with younger children. This neutral color scheme will fit in with just about any interior style or color scheme too.
Plush pillows were a staple in the '60s – and they are back and better than ever. Using texture in interior design is the easiest and more effective way to reinvigorate a tired living room and couch.
A solid elm wood coffee table will endure beyond any trend or decorating style. This design is unique – no two pieces are the same – so you can be certain you are getting a one-of-a-kind table for a main street price.

This gorgeous – and affordable – mid-century modern style chair is a must-have if you want to replicate this trend on a budget. You could line a few around the dining table, or opt for one as a stand-alone statement.
Part of the appeal of this mid-century modern entryway is that Troye and his designers kept many of the original 1950s features of the home. For instance, the clay and brick floors and the stained cork ceiling have been part of the house for decades. The imperfections of these older features tap into the offbeat nature of the mid-century modern style.
The wooden staircase is also a huge standout for me, harnessing the power of natural materials and open space. It instantly makes the property feel modern and interesting but also storied.
Finally, the space is the perfect answer to the question: how do you design a home that feels like you? By integrating antique painted pottery, stacks of books, and a large piece of artwork on the wall, Flack Studio created a space for the star that speaks to his individuality. Clearly, personality in design wins every time.
By embracing original features, the power of natural materials, and integrating personal touches, the perfect mid-century modern space is just around the corner. When you follow the rules and embrace your own eccentricities, you can't go wrong.
