“Art Deco is a style that will incorporate itself very easily into modern homes,” says New York-based interior designer Alexander Doherty. “It is key to be able to give a nod to the past while utilizing modern elements. It is the mixture of what is old and new that gives a space character.”
The style which originated in Paris in the mid-1920s eventually spread to America and influenced not only the art and design industries here but also architecture, music, and fashion.

“Design elements like vertical lines, sleek craftsmanship, bold geometric shapes, rich finishes, lacquered surfaces, and a rise in material investments like marble and burl wood give way to more sculptural elements that mimic the period's architecture,” adds Doherty.
By incorporating Art Deco elements into your home, you are also creating an aesthetic that’s uniquely yours. Art Deco furniture can add a lot of character to any room—whether you decide to go full Gatsby era with elaborate geometric motifs, bold hues, and glitzy accents, or you just want to give a nod to the Roaring 20s.
