Art Deco interior style
Gatsby glamour: brass, velvet, symmetry and unapologetic drama.
See it on your own walls
Art Deco is the interior equivalent of a brass orchestra hitting its note: symmetrical drama, lacquered surfaces, sunburst motifs and jewel tones under warm light. Born in the 1920s and endlessly revived, it is the style you choose when you want a living room to feel like an occasion.
Materials and texture
Deco layers rich on rich: polished brass and gold trim, velvet upholstery in emerald or sapphire, black marble with white veining, lacquered wood, shagreen and glass. Mirror amplifies everything — deco rooms glitter by design.
Color and light
The palette is jewel-box: emerald, navy, burgundy and black grounded by champagne gold and cream. Lighting is theatrical — tiered chandeliers, brass sconces, dimmed to make the metals and velvet glow.
Furniture and layout
Deco is symmetrical by law: paired armchairs, matched end tables, a chandelier centered over a round table. Silhouettes are fan-shaped and curved, legs are fluted or gold-capped, and every button tuft points to the ceiling.
How to get the look
- Commit to one jewel tone (emerald is classic) for the main upholstery
- Frame the room in brass — lamp, mirror frame, table edges
- Hang a statement chandelier centrally; dim to warm
- Repeat sunburst, fan and chevron motifs exactly, not loosely
- Keep the layout strictly symmetrical — deco's drama is discipline
Art Deco vs maximalist
Maximalism collects freely — colors, eras and objects in joyful collision. Art Deco works to a stricter rhythm: repeated geometry, symmetry and a controlled mix of metals and jewel tones.
