Take Art (Deco) Out of the Frame

To reflect the modern technology of the time, Art Deco style was characterized by smooth lines, geometric shapes, streamlined forms and vibrant use of color. The period was inspired by European art and lifestyle, and gained popularity during the Roaring Twenties. 

Pieces designed during this era were not only functional as furniture, but they were crafted to act as works of art in the home. 

Art Deco can fit in any home, even if your style does not reflect the era. Pieces inspired by the style can add structure and diversity to the space, and draw the eye. Even in the form of an accent chair or wall art, Art Deco style can fit in your space. 

Play with Bold Color

Take your eye for a monochromatic interior landscape and make it bright. Vibrant tones can be neutral in your eye-catching space. Pick a tone that encompasses the feel and function of the room.

Darker shades like Pantone’s Classic Blue or Bayberry create a more romantic atmosphere with how the stark colors play with light. For a more airy feeling, use a softer shade of pink that allows for more light. 

Hues that Help Your Space Shine

Metallic inlay is a staple for Art Decor interiors of the Roaring Twenties. This feature of interior design during the period was inspired by royal spaces in Europe, like Versailles in France. The antiqued style was transformed for a more modern audience and is used to elevate the space.

Metallics can act as a more neutral tone in a room that is brimming with bright color. For an eclectic look, you can layer multiple shades of a variety like gold or silver. If you would prefer a more minimal look, stick to one shade across your space.
