Interior Design Bingo Definitions

interiordesignBINGO

Mid Century Modern – A style of design that began after World War II and continued into the 1960s, that is marked by simplicity, clean lines, organic forms, and materials such as wood, metal, and plastic. Though color is used quite a bit in post-war design, mid-century modern is typically less cutesy than the more pop-art offerings of the later 1960s. (source) Think Mad Men.

Scale
- The size of one object and how relates to another or to the space in which it is placed. For example in the pictures below: #1 the tables and sofas are all lower to the ground have the same slender scale; #2 is an example of a lamp on a whimsical scale but still fitting with the scale of the room; and #3 all the legs and structures of the multiple table are on the same scale.

Thanks for that. I was wondering about a Vignette. How about up lighting. I know what it is (I think) but maybe an example?
