What is Art Deco in Interior Design?
Art Deco, short for Arts Décoratifs, is an architectural and visual arts movement that arose out of Paris, before finding great popularity in the rest of Europe and the United States in the 1920s and 30s. The style can be seen as an evolution of and reaction against the Art Nouveau movement, which prioritises curves and elegant organic shapes, whereas Art Deco utilises geometric shapes and angles, taking influence from cubism and Bauhaus design.
Key qualities of the Art Deco style in interior design include:
- Rich, eye-catching materials including stainless steel, chrome, lacquered wood, brass and gold finishes, marble and glass
- Geometric shapes, sharp angles and bold patterns
- Striking jewel tones with deep contrasts
- Luxurious fabrics
- Opulent accessories and adornments
