Art Deco's Appeal
In the 1920s and 1940s, Art Deco was at its brightest. We're still amazed by its geometric shapes, strong lines, high-end materials, and foreign style. It was a happy and confident time in the 1920s, known as the "Roaring Twenties." After them came Art Deco, a time of new technologies and a love of modernity.
Craftsmanship Deco got its ideas from a lot of different places, such as:
- Egypt: Egyptians gained popularity again after discovering King Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922. In Art Deco, patterns, scarabs, creepy crawlies, pyramids, and hieroglyphics were mixed.
- Cubism and the Machine Age: The forms and designs of Cubism and the Machine Age were the basis for Art Deco. During the Machine Age, designs were more useful and had clean lines, while Cubism liked geometric shapes and pieces of designs.
- Confuses and Chevrons: In Art Deco, these lively designs stand for quick movement, progress, and energy.
- Expensive Materials: Fancy woods, Bakelite, metal, and ivory were expensive materials used in Art Deco design. People thought these things would be rich, stylish, and successful.
How to Choose the Right Art Deco Lighting for Your Room?
Art Deco lighting comes in a lot of different styles and functions. How to Pick the Perfect Piece for Each Room:
Living Area
- Statement Chandeliers: An impressive Art Deco chandelier with frosted glass panels, crystal accents, or geometric tiers would make an entrance. It works great in rooms with high ceilings.
- Ceiling Lights: Put brass or chrome geometric wall lights on either side of your fireplace to make the room feel cozier.
- Table lamps: Adding a touch of glitz to your end tables or side tables with table lamps with geometric bases and frosted glass or tiered shades is easy.
Dining Area
- Hanging Lights: An ornate Art Deco hanging light can be the center of attention over your dinner table. You can pick from a geometric lantern made of metal and glass, a globe pendant made of brass or chrome, or a design that looks like a stream in which crystals fall.
- Chandeliers: For a beautiful eating experience, choose a smaller Art Deco chandelier with geometric shapes or one with frosted glass panels.
Kitchen
- Ceiling Lights: To keep the Art Deco style of your home consistent, use flush-mount ceiling lights in brass or chrome that have geometric designs.
- Pendant Lights: Hang an Art Deco ceiling light over your kitchen table to add some glitz and task lighting.
Bedroom
- Table lamps: Add geometric table lamps with frosted glass shades or stacked designs to your nightstands for a classy look.
- Wall Lamps: Pick sconces with frosted glass shades or light that is softly spread to make the room feel warm and cozy.
Taking Size and Proportion into Account
Art Deco lighting is glamorous, but it's important to think about scale and balance when choosing it:
- The size of the room: Pick small features that won't take up too much space in little rooms. On the other hand, ceiling lights or chandeliers can look great in bigger rooms.
- Height of the Ceiling: Consider how high your ceiling is when choosing a light bulb. Put big chandeliers and hanging lights in rooms with high ceilings for the best look. For rooms with lower ceilings, flush-mount or semi-flush-mount lights with frosted glass diffusers let enough light through without removing the beauty.
- The Size of the Furniture: Make sure the lighting is the right size for your furniture. A big chandelier might cast too much light on a delicate dinner set, and a small table lamp might get lost on a big sideboard.
Establishing a Harmonious Art Deco Ambience
Art Deco lighting is simply one component needed to make a room look put together and fashionable. Here are some pointers for adorning your house with Art Deco elements:
- Color Scheme: Art Deco designs frequently use vibrant contrasts and rich jewel tones. Think about using metallic accents, black, white, sapphire blue, emerald green, and white colors.
- Furniture: Seek out pieces made of opulent materials like leather, velvet, or chrome, as well as geometric designs and crisp lines. Art Deco furniture includes waterfall vanities, club chairs, and Chesterfield sofas.
- Accessories: Don't overlook the last details! Sunburst mirrors, geometric sculptures, framed vintage posters, chrome ashtrays (or ornate bowls for a non-smoking touch), and sunburst mirrors are some ways to add Art Deco style.
