First of all, even after more than two decades, why is the mid-century modern style still so popular among professional designers and design lovers around the world? The big truth is that for both veteran designers and brands, as well as those who are now entering the design field, collection after collection, there will always be even one piece minimally inspired in the golden age of design.

However, it’s really important to note that having such pieces at home — be it vintage or brand new —, keeping them in perfect condition, as if they had just left the store, is no easy task. That’s because, in most cases, mid-century modern lamps are made with delicate products and finishes, and sometimes with relatively expensive maintenance.

For all these reasons, COVETED MAGAZINE has prepared the perfect guide with the most useful clean and care tips for your lamps according to their finishes. So pay attention to the following interior design tips in order to help you make your modern lighting fixtures endure time.

LACQUERED COLORS

In case you are just wondering how to clean all the colourful parts of your lamp, you should make sure to use a clean and soft white cloth. If you prefer, you can dampen your cloth with a mild solution of soapy water, as it will help to keep the dust away for longer. Remember: you must thoroughly rinse the cloth in clean water and then re-do the whole process.
