What is Art Deco Style?
Art Deco, short for Arts Décoratifs, emerged as a prominent design style in France before becoming a global phenomenon in the 1920s through the 1940s. Known for its sleek lines, geometric patterns, and symmetrical designs, Art Deco furniture exudes luxury and sophistication. This style blends rich colours, bold geometry, and decadent detail work, featuring materials like chrome, glass, shiny fabrics, and mirrored surfaces. From lavish opulence to streamlined modernity, Art Deco furniture will make a bold statement in any interior.
1. Embrace Bold Geometric Patterns
Renowned for its bold geometric shapes and vibrant patterns, Art Deco furniture often features striking colour contrasts and palettes. Consider starting with a statement piece like this Ancari buffet in mango wood from OzDesign, or opting for geometric throws or soft furnishings in deep greens, golds or blacks like this cushion from Domayne. To balance these vibrant elements, pair them with block colour accessories that enhance rather than compete with your Art Deco pieces.
2. Opt for Luxurious Materials and Textures
Art Deco design is all about luxury and opulence. Enhance your home with furniture in velvet like this olive green 3 seater velvet sofa from Early Settler, plush bedding, throws or cushions from Sheridan Outlet, sleek leather accents or marble like this marble-topped rectangular coffee table from DeRucci. These textures not only enrich the visual appeal but also add a tactile sense of decadence.
3. Lighting as Art
Lighting plays a pivotal role in Art Deco interiors, serving both functional and aesthetic purposes. Opt for lamps and chandeliers with angular designs and metallic finishes like this stunning Azzurra chandelier from Casa Blanco to highlight your art deco pieces. A well-placed light can draw attention to the beautiful details and finishes that define Art Deco style.
4. Add Reflective Surfaces
Mirrors and other reflective surfaces are a hallmark of Art Deco design. They add a layer of elegance while also helping to make a space feel larger and more open. Look for stylish mirrors like this Dominique Emerald mirror from Early Settler with gold or chrome finishes, angled edges or arches that can be strategically placed to enhance the art deco aesthetic of your room. We also love this highly reflective Dome Table Lamp from Freedom which fulfils the brief of both “lighting as art” and incorporating reflective surfaces. You can find a range of decorative items to create this look at TK Maxx, Adairs and Domayne, from metallic or glass-finished vases that complement your furniture’s dramatic palette to book ends and serving trays.
