How to: style Art Deco décor

Geometric shapes, metallic surfaces, glass or mirrored finishes and intricate details – these are the generic traits of the Art Deco interior design movement that is often replicated today.

The design era started in the 30’s and now has strong influences from each decade – especially the 50’s and 70’s. The whole purpose of this design theory is to create drama by choosing furniture pieces that are interesting, and contrasting, yet compliment one another.

Curved chair arms, art work, pops of bold colour, geometric wall paper and underlying neutrals are all ways in which you can create a beautiful Art Deco inspired room at home.

Above is our Art Deco mood board, a somewhat mish mash of pieces that reflect a comfortable representation of the style.
