There's little doubt that Mad Men has become a social phenomenon, influencing everything from the way men wear their suits to the way women style their hair. But perhaps its biggest influence has been its fetishising of 1960s interior design, especially mid-century modernism.
For those who have been living under a rock for the past five years, Mad Men is a television series set around a fictional New York City advertising agency in the 1960s. Its anti-hero is creative director Don Draper, a hard-drinking, chain-smoking, womanising executive. The programme has won several Emmy Awards and received multiple accolades for its arresting visual style.
Indeed, for design addicts, Mad Men is a visual feast of epic proportions. Everything from the furnishings to the wall hangings, lighting and glassware was selected from antique shops, eBay, and flea markets by set decorator Amy Wells. The result is stunning, with the decor attracting as much attention as the storylines.
Thankfully, achieving the Mad Men look is not difficult if you do your research and know where to look.
Here's our guide to going absolutely Mad:
Think masculine. Sure, the women might be pivotal characters in Mad Men, but the aesthetic is decidedly manly. From the rich walnut panelling in Draper's office to the sleek modern lines and leather arm chairs, there's no doubt this is a man's world, but it's also warm and inviting.
