In the design world, just as in science, everyone can agree upon a certain phenomenon. It’s the one that governs the seasons, natural rhythms, and our day-to-day lives—it’s the cycle. Trends come and go, ebb and flow like the tide, yet they do so in an unending, ever-repeating rhythm.
The same goes with the fashions that made history—they often come back into our lives later on, pleasing us to no end. In recent years, it’s art deco that’s been back with a vengeance. According to Merriam-Webster, art deco is “a popular design style of the 1920s and 1930s”. Think of the resplendent world of The Great Gatsby, the Belle Époque, and the Roaring Twenties—that’s art deco to a T.

Out: melamine. In: high-quality materials.
To give your décor more glam, invest in timeless, high-quality materials. Think velvet or felt, for instance. We especially love these materials in darker shades, such as opulent navy blue or emerald green. Accessories-wise, marble and gilded metals are very apropos.
Deep and captivating colours
Let yourself be enveloped by the deep and bold shades that underpin art deco trends. Dark blues like Midnight Tryst (6011-83), curry yellows like Olive Chartreuse (6102-54) and jade greens like Grand Manan Black (6161-83) are your keys to rich, personality-infused décor. Don’t hold back, move boldly forward. In the bedroom, a darker shade will bypass any need for you to count sheep!>> On the subject: 5 Bright Bedroom Colours That Won’t Keep You Awake At Night
