Art Deco Interior Design: Geometric Glamour Guide
The Art Deco Era
Flourishing between the World Wars, Art Deco expressed optimism through lavish geometry and luxurious materials — the visual language of prosperity and the machine age.
Geometric Patterns
Sunburst motifs, chevrons, stepped forms, fan shapes, and zigzag patterns. Symmetry and repetition create visual rhythm throughout the space.
Materials and Finishes
Veined marble, brushed brass, velvet, lacquered wood, mirrored glass, and chrome. Every surface should have visual weight and tactile luxury.
Color Palette
Deep jewel tones — emerald green, sapphire blue, ruby red — anchored by gold, black, and cream. Bold contrast is essential.
Modern Application
Art Deco works brilliantly in hotel lobbies, bars, restaurants, and bedroom feature walls. Use statement pieces rather than full room commitment.
