What Defines Art Deco Style?

Before diving into furniture ideas, it helps to understand the key elements of Art Deco design:

  • Geometric shapes and symmetrical patterns

  • Glossy finishes, like lacquer, glass, and metals

  • Jewel-toned colours and plush fabrics

  • Luxurious materials such as velvet, marble, and brass

This revival trend celebrates the fusion of vintage allure and modern sophistication. Think timeless glamour with a contemporary edge—an ideal formula for premium furniture selections.

Accent Chairs with Character

Art Deco design embraces contrast and visual drama. Accent chairs in materials like velvet or leather add flair and functionality to your living room or bedroom. Look for pieces with scalloped backs, gold legs, or a strong geometric form.

Tips for selecting the right chair:

  • Opt for jewel tones like sapphire, emerald, or amethyst

  • Choose materials that contrast or complement your main sofa

  • Prioritise comfort as well as bold aesthetics

Pair your accent chairs with metallic side tables or frosted-glass lamps for a truly cohesive Art Deco look.

Add Drama with Sideboards and Cabinets

Sleek and stylised storage solutions are essential in an Art Deco-inspired home. Choose cabinets with high-gloss finishes, decorative hardware, or intricate inlay patterns. These aren’t just practical—they double as sculptural elements in your space.

Look for:

  • Fluted wood textures for added dimension

  • Chrome or brass detailing

  • Symmetrical designs that evoke 1920s glamour

These pieces work seamlessly with your other premium furniture, maintaining consistency while offering storage space.

Lighting That Sets the Mood

Art Deco lighting is bold and expressive. Whether it's a chandelier, sconce, or table lamp, lighting should act as both illumination and ornamentation.

Ideal Art Deco lighting features include:

  • Tiered or fan-shaped glass

  • Gold or chrome bases

  • Frosted or etched finishes

Layered lighting will highlight the sheen of your velvet and metal finishes, enhancing the luxurious atmosphere of your space.

Finishing Touches: Accessories and Colour

To pull everything together:

  • Stick to a colour palette of deep greens, navy blues, golds, and rich creams

  • Incorporate mirrored trays, crystal vases, and art prints with geometric motifs

  • Use symmetrical layouts to achieve visual harmony

These accessories not only complement your premium furniture, but they also reinforce the Art Deco story within your home.
