Get the look: Art deco

Smooth, sophisticated and grown-up, Art Deco style has long been coveted by interior enthusiasts. Its ability to balance masculine and feminine, coupled with the in-built luxuriousness of its sweeping curves and gold accents, make it perfect for almost any room in your home. Its influence over everything from architecture and furniture to fashion dates back to before WWI but it’s appeal still remains strong today.

Very few of us are lucky enough to live somewhere with Art Deco architecture, but the good news is that it’s never been easier to inject a sense of the movement into your home using furniture, fabric and wallpaper. Choosing a bold deco print wallpaper that includes jewel tones and metallics, such as Zoffany’s Conway, will set the tone for your space, while something subtler like Bonnelles by Nina Campbell can be used to great effect in both a fabric and a wall covering.

'You can make an Art Deco interior as decadent or a subtle as you like, with rich colours and shimmering metallics to maximise or neutrals to tone down the look.'
