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.

Mixing color and pattern is an art. Too much can feel chaotic, while a lack of color and pattern can be boring. Look for colors and patterns that complement one another for a stylish design that will feel polished. Here are some of our favorite ways to mix color and pattern to create lively spaces.

ShelternessPattern and color can liven up a kitchen. Love the patterned drum shade pendant light and matchingupholstery on the kitchen chairs. Plates on the wall add more color and pattern.

While it's true that a lot of children's rooms are outfitted in bold colours in a more traditional way, kids spaces with an industrial twist are all the rage right now as families choose simple lines and modern furniture to dress up bedrooms, nurseries, and playrooms.

4. Creating a cozy nookAn industrial space with exposed pipes, brick, and cement may not seem like the cosiest area for a new baby, but this freestanding wall adds instant intimacy to the baby room along with the wall decor.

Cal Lighting Deer Wall Art Taxidermy is super popular these days.  We like the lodge look but not sure how we feel about real taxidermy. This deer has an urban lodge feel and we love the black finish that gives it a contemporary spin. What an eye-catching wall art!

Cyan Design Winter Elm Bowl We like the elegant tree design on the Winter Elm glass bowl.  We think this would look great on a console table in an entry, a coffee table or on the dining table.

When it comes to the holiday season, seasonal home accessories swap in and out of home decor faster than you can bat your eyes. This can make it difficult to stay on target, especially when one week you’re seeing Halloween and the next week that same store is full of Christmas decor. Despite the quick wardrobe changes in the store, fall is still here and is just getting into full swing, so it’s not too late to find these five must-have fall home accessories and decor items. Natural Pumpkins Natural pumpkins refers to pumpkin shapes that have been created using woven vines, grasses or other natural materials. It does not refer to actual pumpkins (though those never go out of style, either). Keep in mind that since this is a trendy item currently, it can be relatively expensive. Small woven pumpkins can cost you up to you $20 and larger pumpkins can break into the $100 or more range.

We spend a third of our lives in bed so we should make sure our bedrooms are beautiful. Touches of luxe, in fabrics, wall coverings, and lighting fixtures, make beautiful rooms even more stunning. And who doesn't want that?

Elle Decor ` This bedroom is a great example of understated luxe. All the fabrics, including linen and velvet, are top quality but not flashy. Amazing furniture and paint details give this room a subtle sophistication.

Brilliant orange chairs pop against the aqua of the beautiful wallpaper in this SF dining room. Love the clarity of the orange; it has a lot of white in it.

Love the pops of brilliant color based off of the beautiful modern portrait in this Hollywood Regency style living room. Jewel tone fuchsia and yellow look amazing next to gold accents. Love the asymmetrical look of the chandelier used in this space.

  Crush Cul de sac Window shopping doesn't have to apply only for new purchases. Window shopping DIY projects is so much fun because there are so many amazing projects out there, like this wire trash basket turned pendant light.

Love this chic, feminine window shade that gathers in the middle. It is a softer option than a Roman shade yet more structured than curtains.

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.

The pure whiteness of this sophisticated bedroom is balanced out with architectural salvage wall hangings and pops of citrus.

The retro table lamp/floor lamp combo works in this space that is eclectic with a mid-Century Modern twist. Look for retro and vintage floor lamp at thrift stores and tag sales
