Art Deco, short for Arts Decoratifs, makes for elegance in a modern home giving it that extra touch of sophistication with vibrant colours, exuberant geometry and pure decadence.

Dazzling the world in the 1920s, it quickly became a luxury statement for interior design. It represented modernism, a forward-thinking mindset characterised by smooth lines, and a touch of Egyptian art added in the 1930s as faster machinery enabled mass travel to more exotic destinations.

How to get the Art Deco look?

Bold geometry with vivid bright colours –Some of its finest characteristics include geometric shapes with an iconic art deco palette in contrasting splashes of black, white, blue, creamy neutrals, golden yellow, silver, red and shades of emerald green.

We love the bold designer sofas and armchairs with black and white geometry adding a lovely Art Deco feel to these modern living rooms.

Sleek Surfaces – It is all about shine, lacquered finishes, polished wood and metal keeping in line with modernism and advancement of technology.

A touch of polished wood in armchairs or lacquered finishes in coffee tables help to lift out typical streamlined designs from the 1920’s giving a sophisticated living room extra class.

Mirrored finishes and tiling – mirrored console tableschest of drawers and coffee tables are a must for art deco glam.

These elaborate wall mirrors, coffee tables and gorgeous console table with splashes of emerald and red brings total decadence to a living space with curvy sleek lines.

Reminiscent lighting – golden tones set the mood for art deco interiors and create the right atmosphere for an elegant dinner right out of a 1930s Parisian Cinema!

Golden light and finishes brings a classic black and white living room to life and we adore the gorgeous golden sleek curves combined with geometric shapes and wall mirrors in these luxurious interiors.
