If your taste veers towards the ornate and jewel-like, this 1920’s design style throwback might just be your best option. Art deco interior design instantly evokes opulence; elegant, glamorous and sleek, this style was popularized as the epitome of chic in the 1920’s.
The bold and sweeping statements of geometry, symmetry, and metallics bring visions of Great Gatsby-esque design to mind, with a sleek and shiny patina providing the most sumptuous of excess.
And today’s take on updated art deco style is decidedly playful and modern for a standout look. For inspiration, we’ve created a handy guide with everything you need to know to master the look culled from our decorators.
Materials used in art deco interior design are slick and reflective for everyday glamor in the home. Plenty of metallics are present in this style; from gold to silver, stainless steel, and chrome. They lend any room an elegant and luxurious feel, and they can be used everywhere.
Imagine a modern art deco living room with a glass topped gold coffee table, chrome lamps, and a bold geometric patterned rug in black, gold, and white. Glass is also a frequently used material in art deco design; whether that’s through mirrors, glass-topped tables, sculptural elements or an art deco vase or lamp, as glass adds to the elegant feel of an art deco room.
When considering this style, you might not immediately think about wood being a frequently used material, but rare and dark woods like ebony were often used for furniture and flooring.
Inlaid wood furniture was used to celebrate traditional art deco patterns that are signifiers of the movement. Deluxe materials like marble are also prevalent in rooms of this style; don’t forget, this era was all about lofty extravagance and materials used in your room design were a perfect way to display prestige.
