What makes a room art deco

Art Deco came out of the 1920s and 30s, and its signature is symmetry with flourish: fan shapes, sunbursts, stepped forms and repeated geometry. Materials are luxurious, from velvet and lacquer to marble, mirror and polished brass. Colour is deep and saturated, whether emerald, navy, burgundy or black, set against cream and gold. Lighting is a feature in its own right.

Art deco without the film set

The modern way in is one statement: a velvet sofa in a strong colour, a large geometric mirror, a brass and glass pendant, or a bold wallpaper on one wall. Keep the rest of the room quiet and let that piece carry the style. Full Deco, floor to ceiling, works in a dining room or a hallway where you pass through rather than sit for hours.

See it on your room

Because the style is so specific, it is hard to know from a product photo whether it will feel glamorous or heavy in your particular room. Room AI applies Art Deco to a photograph of your actual room, with the windows, walls and proportions unchanged, so you see the answer in about a minute.
