DECO DREAMS
Embrace geometric shapes and early twentieth century glamor with your Art Deco interior.
Titans of Industry The industrial revolution heavily influenced the Art Deco design era after large quantities of sleek metal became more available. Incorporate metal work into your space in both furniture and accessories, adding a sleek and shiny finish to your decor. Geometry Class Cubism and other contemporary artistic movements of the time became an integral part of Art Deco design elements. Now, Art Deco is often synonymous with any decor accent or art piece that is largely geometric. Symmetrical designs and exuberant shapes can add life to a design without making it appear disordered or cluttered.

Streamlined Shapes When adding furniture to your Art Deco home, think about accentuating or complementing the shapes created by the surrounding accessories and artwork. Long, smooth, sweeping curves in furniture can soften a space’s otherwise straight-edged forms. (Sun)bursting with Style Sunburst and sunrise motifs signified the rising of a new, more enlightened era of early twentieth century prosperity. Their obviously geometric forms will blend seamlessly into any Art Deco design while also embracing the zeitgeist of the 1920s and ‘30s.
