Art Deco home décor ideas

Nothing says timeless quite like Art Deco. 2025 marks 100 years of this trend. The design phenomenon is an enduring choice for interiors. Think of geometric bold patterns like chevron or zigzags and luxury materials such as rich, finished glossy wood and marble accents.

Integrate Art Deco-inspired home decor into contemporary living spaces with simple standout pieces. Surround it with fitted furniture customized to complement Art Deco styles, such as lacquered finishes or geometric shelving. Embrace Art Deco's nuances into your modern home.

What is Art Deco? 

The term 'Art Deco' was first coined in the 1960s but was inspired by The International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Art in Paris in 1925, which showcased geometric shapes and bold patterns.

In interiors, these attributes are highlighted in luxurious materials in mirrors, chrome and glass, as well as lacquer, velvet, marble and gold. Luxe materials and sleek clean lines that exude sophistication are key to creating Art Deco-inspired home decor. 

Art Deco home decor in 2025

As Art Deco celebrates a century of adding interior sophistication, here is how you can bring a touch of it into your home:

·       Clashing trends: Blend Art Deco influences with your décor to create a striking contrast. You can add opulence to a muted living space with simple touches of mirrored furniture or geometric storage.

·       Bold additions: You can fully embrace the Art Deco look if you are looking for a full décor transformation. Consider bold geometric wallpaper in rich blues with striking sleek gold lines. Make a statement in your home.

·       Add metallic accents: Spruce up your home with classic bronze and brass finishes such as door handles or light switches. Or add a brass coffee table to nod to the luxurious aesthetic more boldly.

Plan your furniture

You can effortlessly combine vintage pieces with modern Art Deco-inspired design choices such as a geometric bespoke fitted unit which can also store ornaments tying your living space together. The reason Art Deco's legacy has reached its 100th year is its ability to blend with contemporary living while still looking sophisticated.

Fusing modern and Art Deco home décor ideas creates a harmonious space. Choose side tables with dramatic, clean lines and add contrasting softness with velvet or silk furnishings. Vintage can add character while modern pieces offer functionality, but the two can merge your love of Art Deco.

With Hammonds' bespoke Which? Trusted Trader service, the fusion of both styles becomes effortless, offering a tailored solution to match your unique space.

Here are key points to remember to balance Art Deco home décor when planning your furniture:

·       Contrast sharp Art Deco lines with inviting textures of velvet to create a balanced, well-rounded space.

·       Combining luxury and practicality ensures your furniture reflects the style while also serving a functional role in daily life.

·       Adding brass or chrome elements through lighting or décor can enhance the opulent feel of Art Deco without making the space feel too heavy.

·       Mix up different rich materials for balance, such as marble or lacquered wood with velvet to add depth.

·       Carefully select statement furniture pieces such as a bold geometric armchair or a mirrored table to serve as a focal point.

·       Feature contrasting colours of Art Deco such as jewel-toned fabrics like emerald green for a striking touch to balance the room's colour scheme with Art Deco design.
