How To Perfect Art Deco Interior Design
David Collins’ sage advice for perfecting the trending 20s look
By Linda Holmes, Interiors Director
2. Opt for exotic finishes
“Anything maple, silver, gold, ebony or ivory is Art Deco incarnate. Glamorous gold leafing, high-gloss lacquers and geometric woods are all characteristic of the revolutionary style.”
5. Use an atmospheric lighting scheme
“To finish the look, go for a lighting scheme that is moody and worth of a 1920s Parisian bar. It is to a room as highlighter is to a woman’s makeup. Put your most important features in the spotlight with plenty of low-key accent lighting. Structural wall sconces create a dramatic effect and are very Art Deco.”
