Decorating your home in all mid-century style might be a little too Mad Men for our contemporary lives. Adding a few mid-century modern touches—chairs, tables, light fixtures, textiles—can bring Mad Men (and now Pan Am) style into your décor without transporting your home back a few decades. We're happy to share some of our favorite ways to add mid-century modern touches to any décor.

Interior Style Along with mid-century modern furniture, mid century modern textiles are a chic way to add mid-century modern touches to a room, sofa, bed or table. Marimekko, the Finnish textile company, sells its mid-century patterned fabrics still today.

Different elements go into perfecting a stylish room: a defined colour scheme, complementary home accessories, a great lighting fixture, and something on the floor, like rugs and more. There's simply no shortage of choice - from rugs in distinct patterns and textures to more unique options, here are eight fab spaces with striking floor coverings.

Bring the outdoors in This one-of-a-kind area rug looks like a lush backyard, with loads of bright organic colours and grassy feel.

When creating a lighting scheme for a home, there are thousands upon thousands of different styles and types of light fixtures to choose from. Some manufacturers even label light fixtures as ‘task,’ ‘general,’ ‘outdoor,’ ‘accent’ or ‘ambient.’ However, this leaves many homeowners stumped: what is ambient lighting and can I use an ambient light fixture for something other than its intended use? What is ambient lighting?

Another type of ambient light could include paper or plastic lanterns in which the entire bulb is concealed. These lanterns typically do not produce enough light to be used as a main light source, but they do produce an even glow that is typically expected and desired when looking to create and include ambient lighting in a light scheme. Ideal locations for ambient lighting include the living room, bedroom, foyers, hallways and corridors. It should be noted that as always, ambient lighting should be mixed with other types of lighting to create an overall light scheme.

The living room expertly combines traditional glamour with contemporary pieces of furniture.

Patterns In some subdivisions of the cottage home decor style, you may find a lot of mixing and matching with patterns. This is especially true in the bedroom, or living room, as it’s not unusual to mix different patterns on the pillows and upholstery, or on the bedding and pillows. When attempting to mix and match different patterns in the space, pick a single color and then choose two or three different patterns that use that same color. This allows you to maintain a cohesive look that even a professional interior designer may be envious of. Remember, cottage decor and shabby chic decor are two different things. Cottage is comfortable, cozy and somewhat traditional. Shabby chic is all about vintage, worn and well loved pieces. Though it’s easy to blur the lines between the two, it’s important to know the difference between these two styles of home decor.
