Geometry, gloss and glamour from the 1920s.

Art Deco

Art Deco is the look of the jazz age: bold geometry, high shine and rich contrast. It is confident and a little theatrical, built from symmetry, sunbursts and fans. It suits rooms that want to feel dressed up rather than relaxed.

Try first

Cheapest first. Each is something you could do this weekend, or say to Room AI now.

1 Start with one geometric element you can live with every day, a fan-pattern cushion or a sunburst mirror, before committing to lacquered walls.
2 Paint one wall or the ceiling a deep tone and keep the rest cream, so the gloss and brass have something to glow against.
3 Add symmetry: a pair of lamps, a pair of chairs, a mirror centered over the console.
4 Swap round wooden handles for brass or black ones with a stepped profile. It is the cheapest Deco detail there is.
