Featured Look: Art Deco Inspired Interiors
Art deco — that familiar style of art, architecture and design with a sometimes-wacky blend of historic and futuristic influences — is still beloved. And if trend forecasters are to be believed, we are ripe for a full-scale art deco revival. After all, in some ways 2021 feels a lot like 1920.
The Characteristics of Art Deco
Heavy geometric influences.
Triangular shapes.
Zigzags.
Trapezoidal shapes.
Straight and smooth lines.
Loud, vibrant, and even kitschy colors.
Streamlined and sleek forms.
Sunburst or sunrise motifs.
Think bright and deep yellows, reds, blues, greens, pinks, and purples, accompanied by softer creams and beiges to soften up your art deco look. Softer colors are perfect for bedrooms and dining rooms.
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.
