Interior design trend

Art Deco_

The Art Deco interior design trend represents the modern and glamorous lifestyle of the 1920s and 1930s. Today, it is making a comeback and inspiring interior lovers worldwide.

This style, known for its luxurious elegance and geometric shapes, adds a unique blend of nostalgia and modernity to any room.

In the style of the great Gatsby

Art Deco, derived from "Arts Décoratifs", emerged after the First World War and reached its peak in the 1920s and 1930s. The era was characterised by a belief in progress, optimism and a desire for innovation, which is clearly reflected in the art and architecture of the time. The Art Deco style went out of fashion as handmade furniture became too expensive.

In the context of industrialisation, furniture was produced for the masses in order to be accessible to everyone. This trend not only prevailed in furniture, but also in fashion and cars. All these goods or articles were now produced industrially.

But what characterises this style?

Art Deco is unmistakable and easy to identify thanks to its characteristic features:

  • Geometric shapes

    Triangles, zigzag lines and curved shapes dominate the design.

  • Different materials, colours and surfaces

    The combination of different materials, colours and surfaces creates interesting contrasts and textures.

  • Elegant lines

    Curved and linear shapes lend the design an elegant and refined aesthetic.

  • Arcs, steps, angles or even jagged lines

    These elements bring dynamism and movement to the design, which is characteristic of the Art Deco style.

  • Clear and expressive colours

    Bold colours such as black, gold, silver, red and green set accents and emphasise the geometric shapes.

  • Shiny materials

    The use of high-quality and shiny materials such as marble, fine woods, brass and crystal enhances the luxurious feel of the style.

Art Deco heute: Ein moderner Twist

Although the Art Deco style originated in the early 20th century, it is by no means outdated today. On the contrary, it is experiencing a renaissance and is being incorporated into contemporary interiors in innovative ways.

Colours in the Art Deco furnishing trend

Colours play a central role in Art Deco. From soft pastel shades to bold colours - the right choice will frame your interior perfectly. Inspired by the ocean, deep blue, turquoise and light blue can be used as wall colours or accessories to create a calming atmosphere. Sunset colours such as red, orange and pink bring warmth and energy to your rooms. The more intense the colours, the more radiant they are.

You can enhance these colour accents with your light switches! One example of these colour worlds is our Busch-axcent® pure switch range. However, we offer much more variation.

Die Farbwelt des Art Deco Stils

Modern interpretations of Art Deco combine traditional elements with contemporary design. Classic Art Deco furniture can be combined with minimalist pieces to create a fresh and elegant look. Instead of furnishing an entire room in the Art Deco style, many people opt for accent pieces such as mirrors, lamps or cushions that pick up on the characteristic features of the style.

The traditional Art Deco colours are retained, but often combined with more neutral tones to create a contemporary yet glamorous ambience. However, dark and intense colours also fit perfectly with this style. But it's not just colours that play a role, but also patterns, materials and textures! Luxurious materials such as velvet, brass and marble are still popular and are used in modern interpretations of Art Deco. Arrow, zigzag, trapezoid or ray patterns. Whatever you choose, it fits!
