1. Color Palette

The color palette in Art Deco design serves as a defining element, crucial in capturing the luxe of the era. A sophisticated array of colors is fundamental, with choices like the classic black-and-gold combination— a theatrical composition. The deep allure of dark colors serves as a backdrop to enhance the richness of gold.

Geometric patterns are a hallmark of Art Deco design, showcasing a fascination with symmetry and order. 

Infuse your space with visually captivating wallpaper, rugs, or upholstery featuring zigzags, chevrons, and stepped patterns. These intricate designs add a dynamic and rhythmic quality to the surroundings, reflecting the movement and energy of the Jazz Age.

Polished metals, such as chrome or brass, frequently adorn Art Deco furniture, adding a touch of glamour and a nod to the era’s fascination with the machine age.
