Art Deco literally translates as “the art of decorating” from French. This is a stylistic movement that took its name from the 1925 international exhibition. The art deco style in the interior has always been chosen by the creative intelligentsia, the elite, and the aristocratic elite. It is associated with luxurious, high-status interiors like pictures from glossy magazines, fashionable apartments, boudoirs of stars, and exclusive furnishings. The characteristics are best suited to describe it - expensive, bright, bold. Recently there has been a new wave of popularity of the destination. The designers rethought the main successful components and its return to European interiors did not go unnoticed.

This style of geometric patterns and luxury finishing materials makes it possible to ideally incorporate numerous expensive appliances into the interior, which is highly valued by modern people. More suitable for large apartments, country cottages, studio apartments.

Art Deco design has some similarities with other trends - there are points of contact with modern and high-tech trends, but there are basic postulates that make its uniqueness manifest:

1. Large geometry of the pattern with zigzags, straight lines, starting on the ceiling and walls, moving onto furniture and textiles. The mirror reflection of the round ceiling motifs is strictly vertical to the floor.
2. Use of elite natural materials with pronounced texture in finishing: crocodile skin, zebra skin, leopard skin, ivory inlay.
3. The color scheme is quite monochrome, does not tolerate halftones, the combination is built through the contrast of the following colors: white, black, gold, purple.
4. Maximalism of design: there is no place for saving, expensive and rich is the motto of this style.
5. Complete absence of romantic, natural ornaments.

Basic colors and shapes

The versatility of the design is manifested in the excellent fit of its important elements into modern design. Zigzag shapes perfectly organize the space; it is enough to use a zigzag layout of parquet or laying black and white tiles in a herringbone pattern. Another important element is the sun’s rays slipping through the forms and decoration. Striping of many elements is acceptable: stripes of upholstered furniture drapery extend onto the walls or floor. Designers often combine the principle of sun rays with gradation - then expressive rays can diverge in steps.

The parts take a trapezoidal shape: the backs of sofas, chairs, the shape of the frame of mirrors, windows. What could look more sophisticated than the use of a “piano effect”: black and white stripes (rarely other contrasting colors), similar to keys, alternate in an individual design. Geometry and symmetry are the main distinctive style-forming feature, so surfaces are framed to achieve maximum clarity of contours. The color concept refers to natural elements (earth, leather, stone, metal, snow). Colors such as blue, green, red, burgundy, if introduced into the design, are very insignificant, muted.
The design of rooms with different functionality has its own nuances.

Bohemian living room

The Art Deco style of the living room can personify the embodiment of various ideas, turning the room into a real center of aesthetics. Here, the use of extravagant materials (crocodile skin, shark), a combination of incongruous elements, for example, glass with metal casting, oriental, Egyptian motifs, is relevant. The presence of a fireplace or staircase allows you to make them a logical center, and the geometry of the living room allows you to completely abandon smooth lines and further enhance the contrast.

The ability to divide surfaces into clear blocks allows you to harmoniously fit modern technology. The optimal color scheme is brown and beige or black and white. When decorating walls, it is possible to combine more budget materials, such as wallpaper, with exclusive wood panels. A favorite among floor coverings is dark-colored parquet.

The furniture is luxurious, made to order from the darkest possible types of wood. A distinctive feature of the location is symmetry; you may need duplicate items to balance one part of the room with the opposite. Sometimes it is enough to place a spacious display cabinet and fill it with beautiful valuables. Carefully selected textiles are a must - heavy velvet curtains set the tone, and sofa cushions support it; vintage antique accessories; small sculptures of female figures; large vases; antique wall or even grandfather clocks.

Bedroom of Hollywood stars

To create an Art Deco bedroom, you need to not be afraid to experiment with decorative elements, but not cross the line between sophisticated, sophisticated elegance and luxury that borders on kitsch.

The bedroom of this design solution is more characterized by soft forms, because the center of this room is the bed with its elaborate headboard, decorated with upholstery. Having an unusually shaped dressing table and an ottoman is simply necessary, as well as a sufficient number of mirrors that will prevent the room from visually shrinking due to the muted tones necessary for a comfortable sleep. Drawings and ornaments are one of the main elements of wall decoration; frescoes or decorative paintings are possible; stucco molding is suitable for the ceiling.

A natural skin or rug made of long-haired fur with thick undercoat should be placed in front of the bed. The bed itself is covered with a luxurious bedspread, the colors of the pillows match the tone of the upholstery of the ottoman and armchair. The upholstery should be contrasting with the walls and ceiling. Along with the central crystal chandelier, additional lamps, floor lamps, and LED lighting are required.

Luxurious kitchen-dining room

For the kitchen and dining area, a distinctive feature is sufficient multi-levelness and the replacement of some essential materials with more functional ones: parquet flooring definitely needs to be replaced with tiles; When upholstering chairs, give preference to leather. An ideal option would be a kitchen layout with an island (a special place where the sink, work area, and food preparation area are located). A good solution would be an impressively sized mirror above the bar counter to visually increase the space of the kitchen-dining room. Clear zoning should be done on the ceiling and walls, on the floor - a podium under the dining table. Fabric panels are perfect for decorating the dining area. The best color solution is still a black and white combination, which will allow you to harmoniously fit household appliances made of plastic and chrome-plated steel.

The main rule for creating expressive kitchen decoration is consistency. Everything should be equally solemn, from the dining table to the tiles on the apron.

Mirror World

Lighting plays almost the main role, giving the room space, cleanliness, and light. At the same time, it is impossible to do without its companion - a mirror. After all, even furniture can be not just metal, but have mirror surfaces (and now we are not talking about a banal wardrobe in the bedroom). So, in the bedroom you can make a mirrored door, which will be identified only by its gold handle. It is possible to create the effect of multiple presence of patterns, which, when reflected, make the interior of the room visually richer. Designers advise using the maximum number of reflective universal surfaces, bronze candlesticks, and forged figurines. The design involves a huge selection of mirror surfaces - framed with simulated sun rays, trapezoidal in shape, huge wall-length mirrors, infused with crystals.

The sun mirror is the hallmark of this style; it is an exquisite piece of furniture, symbolizing harmony and perfection, and the diverging rays of the sun can give a great mood and warmth.

Only with the help of a huge number of mirror surfaces can you try to create a unique art deco genre in a small apartment, which at first seems impossible due to the abundance of heavy textiles and multiple decorative elements.

Trends

It should be noted that new finishing materials and solutions for their use appear every year. The interior in the Art Deco style is constantly evolving - designers are working on details, selecting accessories, and transforming new ideas. The emergence of new construction tools makes it possible to design rooms and decorate them in this style more quickly and affordably, because a lot of time can pass from design to implementation. The variety of furniture and other accessories in 2017 will simplify the task of decorating.

Well-known furniture manufacturers are increasingly developing new collections with items belonging to a particular style, which also opens up wider horizons in design, because custom-made furniture is not only expensive, but very troublesome.

From glossy magazines you can find out the direction of the main fashion vector, gleaning interesting ideas for interior design. As for color trends, saturated blue was popular in 2016, which enlivened light monochrome. In 2017, gold, marble, white, gray and wine colors will be in fashion, which is mainly characteristic of the color scheme of this stylistic direction. Of course, interior design is not developed for one year of life.

Classics will always remain fashionable, but art deco has been strengthening its position over the past few years and we can confidently believe that it will be relevant for a long time. In 2016-2017, there is another increase in interest in art deco in architecture, fashion, and, accordingly, interior solutions. The comfort of all family members becomes central to the philosophy of this style solution.

Among the most current new products of 2017, we can note the use of illuminated onyx, which is no longer so difficult to implement. Used for finishing stairs, doorways, countertops, and ceilings. The stylistic orientation of Art Deco began to be used more actively when decorating a children's room. Thus, another new product, luminescent photo wallpapers, are quite self-sufficient in themselves, do not require additional support with unnecessary details, but are capable of creating a unique atmosphere of magic.
