What is Art Deco?
Art Deco first appeared in the 1920s after the First World War. After such horrendous times, people wanted to leave the past behind, look to the future, and embrace all it could bring. Art Deco was a popular influence throughout The Americas and Europe for around a decade. The style materialised throughout the decorative arts, as people had more money to spend and invest in creating spaces inspired by technology and modernity.
The Art Deco interior design movement largely rejected the previous art nouveau trend. A style most famously demonstrated in The Kiss by Gustav Klimt, art nouveau is characterised by smooth shapes and lines inspired by organic forms, starkly contrasting Art Deco’s sharp lines and geometrics.
Ultimately, Art Deco was a relatively short-lived affair. The style fizzled out as the Second World War broke out, and art deco, synonymous with forward-thinking and celebration of the future, was no longer in demand nor something people could relate to.
However, this wasn’t the end for Art Deco interior design, as the late 1960s saw a renewed interest in the style. Since then, Art Deco has been a popular source of inspiration for art, fashion, jewellery, interiors, and even car design.
Art Deco interior design
Certain materials are frequently used in Art Deco interiors. The metallic accents aimed to emulate the glamorous lifestyles of the rich and famous, who were once the only people who could access Art Deco designs. Expensive materials like ebony, marble and rare woods also featured heavily alongside mixed metals.
The most recognisable and replicated aspects of Art Deco are geometric shapes, antique styles and ornate lighting and accessories.
Incorporating art deco into your interior design is an easy way to add style and interest to your space. Whether you want a subtle nod to the style or for your living room to mirror a scene from The Great Gatsby, you can find endless inspiration at UBER Interiors.
