What is Art Deco in Interior Design?
The Art Deco style originated in France and was popular from 1920 to 1939. It was the first nontraditional style to gain acceptance in America.
This style focused on aesthetics and decorations rather than historical foundations. It included architecture, interior design, furniture, jewelry, clothing, glass art, graphic design, and film.
Elements of the Art Deco style include chevrons, zigzag lines, sunburst patterns, sharp angles with rounded corners, high-sheen materials, gold accents, and bold jewel-tone colors.
Typical woods used in this design style were rosewood, teak, and ebony.
What are typical Art Deco colors?
Typical colors of the Art Deco style include warm tans and shades of green and blue. Silver and gold gilding and metals were used for contrast.
Accents of golden yellows, cobalt blues, and vehement reds were used as well. Soft creams, black, gold, and silver were popular colors as shown in the above design.
How does Art Deco make you feel?
The Art Deco style will make you feel sophisticated and luxurious. It has an over-the-top glamourous look that’s perfect for any contemporary home.
Its simple geometric shapes and bold structured style add to the nostalgic vibe.
Is Art Deco still popular today?
Yes! Art Deco is currently trending in interior design. There has been a resurgence of period pieces and classic reproductions.
CB2 has an entire section featuring Art Deco inspired furniture and home decor.
How do I Art Deco my house?
You can bring the Art Deco trend to your home with the use of sculptural furniture and decor, geometric shapes, glam lighting, animal prints, and high gloss walls or accents.
Another way to add the Art Deco style is with bold colors, rich wood tones, antique furniture mixed with new, mirrored finishes, fluted details, and metallic wall sconces.
Other elements of this design style include bold artwork, black marble, art deco-inspired statement mirrors, and gold or silver metal geometric inlays.
