Trends come and go, but some styles are permanent fixtures in the interior design universe; Art Deco is chief among them. The ever-popular style originated in 1925, making its exhibitive debut at the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts in Paris, and has since traversed continents and buildings with its sleek and striking qualities.
Characterized by geometric patterns, bold colors, and opulent materials, Art Deco style is at once modern and historied, featuring bold colors like reds, blues, and greens, jewel tones such as emeralds, sapphires, and golds, along with statement prints like zigzags, chevrons, and shell motifs. Needless to say, it is still influencing modern designers a century later, but some of the styling has naturally changed. This begs the question: 100 years after it originated, how do we keep Art Deco looking fresh in 2025.
