Mid-Century Modern Style

Decorating with Mid-Century Lighting and Decor

Mid-Century Modern style is all about eliminating excess and using beautiful design. The MCM home style draws on mid-20th Century design and architecture. The emphasis is on form and function. Designs are are practical and uncluttered, with clean, simple lines. Lamps are often ceramic and feature a hand-crafted look, with interesting forms or patterns. Use fixtures to make a sculptural, eye-catching statement, such as with a Sputnik-style chandelier. Look for natural woods, metals, and clear glass. Complete the look with interesting textiles such as patterned rugs and pillows. You'll find it all, from top brands to exclusive designs, at Lamps Plus.
