Inspired Design: Contemporary Art Deco
Art Deco is a distinctive style that was popular in the 1920s and 30s. It's distinguished by geometric shapes and opulent finishes that ooze luxury. Today, modern Art Deco style can be an effective way to create a dynamic interior with a hint of glamour, that nods to the past without looking dated.
Art Deco, short for Arts Décoratifs, is characterized by rich colors, bold geometry, and decadent detail work. Having reached the height of its popularity in the 1920s, '30s, and '40s, the style still brings in glamour, luxury, and order with symmetrical designs in exuberant shapes.
