Art deco style is characterized by bold geometric shapes, metallic colors and rich ornaments. Developed after World War I, because of an increasingly weak influence of Art Nouveau style, in the context of massive industrialization, art deco style is one that continues to make a mark in contemporary design, combining traditional motifs with modern elements. Below we present several examples of art deco interior.
Geometric shapes and metallic colors in a room of almost perfect symmetry, where only the fireplace, placed discreet, on lateral, brings a classic note. The sofas with sober shapes visually dominate the image, extending in terms of colors of the high curtains from behind.
Again a sober picture offered by this interior. In the background, the lamp that propagates light like rays of the sun, an element specific to art deco style, points out the closet with industrial design nearby, giving a touch of vitality to a room seemingly inert.
Broadly, modern and elegant art deco style translates via discrete elements and not necessarily an abundance of geometric shapes. The key to a full of originality final image is the use of full colors or elegant materials, with cubic shapes or right angles.
Art Deco style in all its splendor – a sofa and chairs of metallic silver, broken by the blue picture on the wall, but with the same metallic reflections.
This time, we have an open room, bathed by natural light that enters from three sides. Geometric shapes – the wooden table and the metal and glass one, the mirror above the fireplace – and the discrete metallic colors, like the one of the carpet, outlines elements of art deco discreetly placed in a room with a classic look.
The style is well represented also in kitchens, like the one in the image below. A kitchen well aligned, divided into rectangular shapes with walls of steel gray that continues the carpet on the floor.
Also in the bathroom the discrete forms hold the attention and represents the center of gravity of the room. The sea of white is ‘broken’ by the gray in the mirror, painting and sandstone ridges.
Vertical and horizontal lines, together with different colors, but of industrial origin. The bathroom is from a villa built in the Belgian port of Ostend in 1935, when art deco was booming.
