8 Art Nouveau patio ideas

The flowing organic style of around 1900: one sinuous whiplash plant line running through wood, iron, glass and walls. Colours are muted and natural — cream plaster, celadon and olive, mustard-ochre, honey-wood brown, with dusty lilac, amber and petal pink, and cobalt or plum in glass. Ash, oak and walnut are carved and bent into tendril forms with floral marquetry; wrought iron curls into vines; glass is leaded, stained and iridescent; tiles are glazed with flowers; bronze is patinated. Furniture is curved and asymmetric with ornament grown from the structure — a marquetry cabinet on carved tendril legs, bentwood chairs, stem-backed dining chairs with curved arms, a tall carved headboard, a settee with flowing arms. Fabrics and wallpaper show stylised irises, lilies, poppies, wisteria, ginkgo leaves, dragonflies and peacock feathers. Stained-glass lamps on bronze bases, lily-shaped sconces and amber dome pendants light it; stained-glass transoms, poster art and stencilled whiplash friezes finish it. Nothing is straight or symmetrical, and there are no chevrons or sunbursts — those are Art Deco.
