The peak of this trend’s popularity came in France and the United States in the 1920s–30s, yet it remains influential. A desire for celebration shaped its luxurious character after the 1925 Paris Decorative Arts exhibition. The rising sun became an emblem; you’ll find its stylized motif across furniture, ornaments, and decor. Katrina Antonovich also embraces Oriental and Egyptian influences, adding mystery and exotic character. Rare wood and leather enrich furniture, complemented by aluminum, steel, brass, precious woods, inlays, enamels, stained glass, and other premium materials. For classic furnishings, browse the Francesco Molon catalog. For statement stonework, consider marble designs and water-jet fixing for floors or feature walls.
Typical Art Deco palettes pair black or dark brown with milky white, elevated by gold or steel accents. Use saturated purple, violet, or dark blue for emphasis. Stylized ornaments mix geometric forms, zigzags, chevrons, sunbursts, circles, and softened squares. You’ll also see exotic floral motifs and Egyptian references. Add drama with customized chandeliers that echo the style’s geometry. For restful private spaces, check the bedroom interior design trends that pair Deco glamour with modern comfort.
Furniture in natural wood balances comfort with elegant lines, while accessories—sunray mirrors, sculptural lamps, and animal figurines—complete the look. Art Deco is functional, blending luxury with everyday comfort and today’s technology, so modern versions feel fashion-forward, not retro replicas.
