If you’re looking to update your home with an enchanting makeover, take inspiration from art deco room decor. It can provide your home with a new, lavish and unique style that would elevate your space for entertaining guests, too.
What do we mean when we say art deco? It refers to a 20th-century aesthetic movement, and can involve using materials like brass, chrome, and velvet, along with metallic finishes, bright, bold colours and geometric shapes.
With these elements combined, it aims to achieve an interior of glamour, sophistication and opulence, a truly timeless style.
Here is a guide to follow that shows how you can incorporate the art deco style into your home, and which art deco ornaments would be a welcome addition to be in keeping with this decor theme.
Make use of bright, bold colours
A key feature of the art deco movement is embracing bold, loud colours. There's a flamboyancy to art deco designs that can be welcomed or muted, depending on your personal preference. A good way to achieve this is through brightly coloured ornaments, from bold trinkets and decorative items to accessories in loud colours, such as lamp shades, cushions, and pictures.
Alternatively, implementing contrasting colours is another way to achieve an art deco theme in your home. By using black and white ornaments and features that clash, you can create an eye-catching and highly effective colour palette without it being overpowering.
Find creatively shaped accents
Art deco ornaments encourage creativity and individuality, with weird and wonderful shapes that add dimension to your space. This can be achieved through bold artwork and imaginative sculptures, there to fill your space with fun and flair.
A suitable option if you’re looking for a unique feature along the lines of a creative sculpture is our buddha table, an eye-catching and beautifully crafted side table with the base of a buddha in intricate detailing.
Breathe life into your materials
With art deco room decor, implementing a multitude of materials is another fun angle that you can play with. Enjoy the plush finish of velvet combined with the luxe look of zebra skin, and then add marble features for the opulent cherry on top.
Reflective and shiny objects can also add that element of bravery to your decor, such as with chrome and stainless steel, or even gold, for that artistic and striking finish. Our gold octopus candlestick holder would be a stunning art deco ornament when trying to incorporate different materials and texture into your style.
Create ambience with your lighting
An art deco theme takes great pleasure in crafting a very atmospheric environment, particularly through the use of clever lighting. With lamps and wall lights, you can create a soft, warm ambience, and these can be utilised as further accessories.
A chandelier would be an exquisite choice for achieving that art deco style that enjoys grand, magnificent features, and you can alternatively replace your current lampshades with bolder, more unique ones, such as our frilled lamshape with floral design, combining blues and oranges with a fringed, tasselled rim.
