Living room in art deco style - the embodiment of luxury and comfort in the interior

Art Deco features

The style arose at the beginning of the 20th century and continues to conquer the hearts of ordinary people. The art deco interior is striking in its splendor and brilliance, it is not so easy to recreate it, but the result exceeds all expectations. The style is characterized by:

• Intricate geometric patterns.
• Contrasting details.
• Glossy, metallic and mirror surfaces.
• Expensive items - from furniture to decor and textiles.
• Original accessories with a history.

The color scheme of the hall

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

In the photo there is a living room in yellow shades. Complex ornaments, elegant furniture, art objects and a fireplace add respectability to the atmosphere.

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

Finishing materials

It's no secret that plastic panels, expanded polystyrene ceiling tiles and low-quality wallpaper reduce the cost of the living room and move it away from the art deco style.

For wall decoration, paint, decorative plaster are used, sometimes large ceramic tiles with imitation of stone, as well as panels made of expensive wood. The exposed areas of painted walls are often molded to add a touch of elegance to the furnishings.

The ceiling can be both smooth and textured: it depends on whether the overall interior is overloaded with details. Multi-tiered 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 stoneware are used to cover the floor.

Furniture

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

The center of the art deco living room is the sofa - cozy, soft, with leather or fabric upholstery. The back can be decorated with a carriage tie. Another element of the hall that speaks for itself is the fireplace.This is a luxurious addition around which the entire 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 is hung on the wall. But the style does not tolerate congestion and confusion. Chrome and glass surfaces must be kept clean, and for each item to find its rightful place.

Lighting

The art deco style in the living room interior presupposes the presence of multilevel lighting, which means that massive palace-style chandeliers, bunches of pendant lamps, and spots can be the central light sources. For local lighting, wall sconces are suitable, and decorative light can be represented by linear lighting hidden under 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 setting, to 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 acquires its expressiveness thanks to the thoughtfulness of the choice of 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 chosen in plain colors so as not to overload the interior.

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

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