If there's one style that screams luxury, sophistication, and character, it's ART DECO . Born in the 1920s, this movement was synonymous with opulence and modernity , with its geometric shapes, glossy finishes, and exquisite materials. And while it might seem like a style of the past, its return to contemporary decor is proving that it remains as relevant and fascinating as ever.
But how can you integrate Art Deco without making your home look like a set from "The Great Gatsby"? The key lies in the details and blending it with other, more contemporary styles to give it a fresh and balanced feel.

To know how to use it, it is key to know its main features:
- Geometric shapes and bold patterns – Straight lines, zigzags, fans, and elegant curves.
- Luxurious materials – Marble, brass, velvet, mirrors and exotic woods.
- Deep, contrasting colors – Dark shades like emerald green, navy blue, or black with hints of gold or copper.
- Ornamental details – Inlaid furniture, sculptural lamps, and beveled mirrors.
If your style is more modern, Mediterranean, or minimalist , you don't have to give up the beauty of Art Deco. In fact, mixing it with a more neutral base can make spaces look sophisticated, unexpected, and full of personality. Here are some ideas:
-
A beveled or geometrically shaped mirror can be the perfect touch for a plain wall.
- Velvet-upholstered chairs or armchairs in deep tones add a glamorous touch without being overpowering. They can also be used as cushion covers.
- Gold table lamps or wall lights with rounded or structured shapes can provide warmth and elegance.
- Wallpaper with subtle geometric patterns in neutral tones for a stylish nod without being overwhelming.
- Furniture with brass details or slim, angular legs to add a sophisticated touch without losing visual lightness. Treig sideboard.
