MOODBOARD | IT'S ALL ABOUT THE ART-DECO HOMES

Long pearl necklaces, dresses embroidered with faux gemstones, small beaded purses, and cloche hats – this is what best defines the tremendousness of 20’s art deco style. With the reincarnation of this predominant trend of the 1920s and 1930s in the 21st-century, the already impressive Art Deco has gone through a modern makeover which makes it even more glamorous and luxurious. But before we could jump on to incorporating this roaring style to your abode, let’s do a little revision. So what exactly Art-Deco is all about? Basically, it is everything that screams mixed-metallics, bold geometric shapes, streamlined designs, repetition of elements in symmetry, and strong colour palette with plenty of blue and red; art deco is shorthand of ‘art decorative’, a style that imbibes a sleek and anti-traditional elegance and symbolizes exuberance, sophistication, and drama.

May we say that Art-deco is a vibe of extraordinary-ness, whether you do a masterpiece in your bedroom – floor to ceiling – or you just place a chic metallic chair in your living space with a furry throw blanket over it, could be more or less but this style is sure to add a serious artistic ambience to any space. The best part of the Art Deco-inspired décor is that you don’t have to revamp the whole space, little additions like angular armchairs, Art Deco vase filled with sculptured flower stems, a gold framed mirror, vintage chandelier or even a French style glass table can do the magic. If maximalism is your penchant then you can also go for the dominant furniture pieces, over-the-top wall coverings, ornated ceilings, and vintage-y elements and fixtures.
