You can achieve the quintessential mid-century modern, minimal, masculine living room – no matter what kind of budget you’re working with.

The key is to buy items that work well together. At the very least, you’ll need a sofa, an accent (or lounge) chair, a coffee table and a rug.

Of course, you’ll want some other stuff, like a floor lamp and a couple of plants, but these essential items are a good place to start.

You could also mix and match. For example, you may want to splurge on a really nice sofa or lounge chair, rather than blowing your budget on a coffee table or area rug.

It’s always easier to upgrade the smaller stuff later on.
