MARCH: What you need to know!
One of this year’s biggest trends this year is the return of Art Deco and we are seeing it in so many different ways! Let’s review where you can incorporate some Art Deco design into your own home.
Lighting
Art Deco inspired lighting can add a touch of class and luxe to a space. Look for lighting with symmetrical patterns and geometric details, a variety of finishes to create a distinctive and futuristic effect, tiered, elongated architectural forms featuring everything from skyscraper shades to stepped finials.
Patterns
Wallpaper with Art Deco inspired patterns are a great way to add energy to a room. Art Deco patterns are characterized by motifs with sharp, angular shapes as well as stripes, sunbursts, zig-zags, chevrons, sweeping curves and other very angular geometric patterns and stylized florals.
Streamlined Shapes
Art Deco style is distinguished by simple, clean shapes, often with a “streamlined” look. Decoration on furniture and design objects are usually geometric or stylized. Materials are often varied and include man-made substances (plastics, especially Bakelite, and vita-glass) in addition to natural materials (jade, silver, ivory, obsidian, chrome and crystal).
