Art Deco

A style that spanned the roaring 20s and the depression of the 30s, Art Deco was a symbol of decadence alongside tradition. These days an art deco piece can sell for thousands, with its distinct style and nostalgic attributes. It’s popularity waned after the second world war ended, but it’s influence has remained. It’s easy to add some 20s glamour to your home by fusing the colour and patterns that art deco continues to influence…

The bathroom

Art deco was all about bold, straight lines and indulgence. This bathroom is heavily influenced by this style with the thick lined mirror and dark ribbon holding up the caged lamps. I love the mixture of circles and squares, giving the space a sense of luxury and organised chaos.

Feature wall

A simple way of incorporating art deco into your home is by taking the traditional patterns and wallpapering your space. I love this monochrome wallpaper – it would look perfect in a room that needs some life injected into it without needing to add loads of colour.

Accessories

Collecting bits and bobs to go around the house is a great way of adding some art deco to your space without having to fully commit. There’s nothing like trawling old car boot sales to find these articles – something like a lamp will instantly jazz age your room up.

Art work

You can add s0me roaring 20s and 30s to your home by purchasing or making your own print that nods to the era. This black and white print instantly brings the modernist movement into the space, and it’s a lot cheaper than buying a genuine article.
