Made popular in America in the 1920s and 30s, the Art Deco movement defined art, architecture, and design for over a decade. Recognizable by the use of sleek lines, decadent materials, metallics, and geometric motifs, this style has historic roots that can be modernized to create a beautifully opulent space. This design leans towards a more classic idea of Art Deco, with the black and white color pallet and checkered floors. Adding different colors and textures from different styles can reimagine this style and bring a more contemporary touch. Sticking to the classics, this design is perfectly rich and streamlined in nature.
Capital’s Lena Linear Chandelier in the finish “Fire and Ice” demands its presence is noticed. It captures your attention with its gleaming gold and silver rods that pierce a rectangular gold frame. Placing this glamourous light over a kitchen island will make this piece of art the centerpiece of your kitchen. The Lena collection also includes a beautiful sconce, vanity, and pendant option.
Another stunning light piece is Hudson Valley’s Adara pendant, pictured top right. This pendant mixes metals with a vintage gold and soft black curved disk sandwiching a glass disk. The artistic nature of this piece makes it perfect for Art Deco design, providing a smooth silhouette with an ornamental impact. This fixture comes in two sizes to accommodate your space, a 36" wide, and a 26.5" wide as well.
Creating an enchanting backsplash, Elon’s “Calacatta Gold Serpentine” mosaic brings in a glinting geometric pattern that catches the eye. The contrast of the natural marble, with gold and grey veins, and the polished gold aluminum is the perfect backdrop for an Art Deco kitchen or bathroom. Because marble is a natural product, there is variation between each tile, making this backsplash unique to you.
Pictured just behind the tile is York’s “Flapper” wallpaper. The rain of gold glimmering specks are arranged in a particular geometric pattern that eludes to the fringe of a flapper’s dress. It mimics the shape of the Lena chandelier, with its staggered golden lines. The dark black background allows this wallpaper to feel modern and moody, yet still classic and lavish.
Art Deco is a bold style meant to feel luxurious and innovative. The beauty of function and form is found in every product, each their own unique piece of art. The surfaces gleam and glitter, as if in a competition to outshine each other. If this striking style speaks to you, our experienced staff can help your vision come to life.
