Midcentury modern furniture can add a sleek, polished style to your home. Whether you search for vintage or opt for brand-new, we have three local spots to start your shopping journey.

ModernCre8ve
Head to Moderncre8ve for pieces that feel every bit midcentury modern but have a fun, fresh architectural spin. The Yoshi Dining Table ($4,850) features a geometric steel rod base in custom colors such as pink, orange or teal. “We’re taking the bones of the midcentury style and putting our own twist on it,” says owner Robert LaRow. 1400 E. 36th St., Cleveland, 216-502-0755, moderncre8ve.com

Sweet Lorain
This Cleveland vintage shop is a treasure trove for those looking for authentic items from the ’30s and ’80s. Snag a champagne pink living room set for around $795. “Instead of just finding one chair, you can find the whole furniture set,” says owner Redwin Lewis. “It’s really one-stop shopping.” 7105 Lorain Ave., Cleveland, 216-281-1959, sweetlorain.com

Surroundings Home Decor
This boutique collaborates with European designers to bring customers accent pieces that capture the essence of midcentury modern. “We go once a year to Italy to buy our furniture,” says owner Fatemeh Keyghobad. You’ll discover gems such as Montis’ Rouge Lounge Chair ($5,800), which features sleek lines in rich fabrics. 850 W. St. Clair Ave., Cleveland, 216-623-4070, surroundings-homedecor.com
