Living room in the style of Art Deco - the embodiment of luxury and coziness in the interior

Art Deco Features

Style arose at the beginning of the 20th century and continues to win the hearts of the townsfolk. The interior in the art deco style is striking in its splendor and brilliance; it is not so easy to recreate it, but the result exceeds all expectations. The style is peculiar:

• Complex geometric patterns.
• Contrast details.
• Glossy, metallic and mirror surfaces.
• Expensive elements - from furniture to decor and textiles.
• Original accessories with a story.

The color scheme of the hall

The main shades of the style are dark gray, black, wood, metal (including gold). Dazzling white does not apply: if you need to design a room in bright colors (for example, a small living room), choose ivory, sand or cream. Bright colors are rarely used as the main color: special professionalism is needed to make a rich palette look expensive.

In the photo, the living room is in yellow shades. Respect for the atmosphere is given by complex ornaments, elegant furniture, art objects and a fireplace.

Any deep color (emerald green, indigo, violet) can be used as accents. Warm, even aggressive, gamma looks luxurious, but it is necessary to maintain balance and balance bright details with a neutral, muffled base.

In the photo, the living room is in gray tones with golden and purple accents.

Decoration materials

It's no secret that plastic panels, polystyrene ceiling tiles and low-quality wallpapers make the living room cheaper and alienate it from the art deco style.

For wall decoration, paint, decorative plaster are used, sometimes large ceramic tiles with imitation stone, as well as panels made of expensive wood. Open areas of painted walls are often decorated with moldings, giving the atmosphere elegance.

The ceiling can be either smooth or textured: it depends on whether the overall interior is overloaded with details. Multilevel ceilings, stucco moldings and beams are appropriate in the interior of the living room in the art deco style: they complicate the geometry of the room and give it expressiveness.

Natural wood, parquet, high-quality laminate and porcelain tiles are used to cover the floor.

Furniture

When choosing a headset, the main criterion should be considered proportionate proportions. The rounded lines of armchairs and chairs, thin metal tables with glass inserts, walls and cabinets with mirrors - everything should speak about the high quality of furniture.

The center of the art deco of the living room is a sofa - cozy, soft, with leather or fabric upholstery. The back can be decorated with a carriage screed. Another element of the room that speaks for itself is the fireplace. This is a luxurious addition, around which the whole interior is sometimes built.

Despite the historicity of the art deco trend, it is easy to fit modern technology into it, for example, a TV that hangs on a wall. But the style does not tolerate congestion and disorder. Chrome and glass surfaces must be kept clean, and for each item to find its rightful place.

Lighting

The art deco style in the interior of the living room implies the presence of multi-level lighting, which means that massive chandeliers in the palace style, and clusters of pendant lights, and spots can be the central sources of light. Wall sconces are suitable for local lighting, and decorative light can be represented by linear illumination, hidden under the ceiling cornices and furniture.

The task of lighting in the living room is not only to ensure the comfort of guests and residents, but also to emphasize the richness of the environment, highlight areas that deserve special attention: for example, paintings or valuable collections.

Textiles and Decor

The design of the living room in the art deco style gains its expressiveness due to the thoughtfulness in choosing accessories. For window decoration, it is recommended to purchase blackout curtains made of high-quality fabric, which can be combined with light tulle or shiny fabrics. Active ornaments can be found on pillows that complement sofas and armchairs, but the curtains are solid, so as not to overload the interior.

To add art deco style to the interior of the living room, you can purchase retro posters, posters with stars of the golden era of Hollywood or images of antique luxury cars.

Glossy vases, authentic crockery, unusual metal figurines, as well as carved frames for paintings, photographs and mirrors can serve as decor. Exotic art objects are relevant: Japanese screens, African masks, Egyptian sculptures.
