5 + 1 Luxury Tips for Creating an Art Deco–Inspired Home
Expanded edition with “Did you know…?” call-outs and curated products from Secnal Home.
1. Geometric Patterns—Accent Wall & Furniture Fronts
Bold symmetry is the heartbeat of Art Deco. Paint a chevron feature wall or pick hexagon-pattern wallpaper behind your sofa. Prefer to make a statement with furniture?ň
Explore these pieces:
Product | Why it fits the look |
---|---|
CHARMES TV Stand – black MDF with white bone inlay (180 × 40 cm) | High-contrast inlay echoes classic Deco wall panels. |
EMLY TV Stand – warm mango wood & gold steel (200 × 45 cm) | Herringbone-like front, cosy wood with golden legs. |
GUIEM Mirror – bronzed MDF frame (100 × 122 cm) | Square-edged frame mirrors the wall geometry. |
The iconic “sunburst” motif exploded in popularity after the 1925 Exposition des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and later inspired the crown of Manhattan’s Chrysler Building.
Styling tip: Hang three narrow GUIEM mirrors side by side like a triptych—light will bounce around the room like a kaleidoscope.
2. Dazzling Gold & Crystal Lamps
Metallic luminaires deliver instant wow-factor; warm gold also softens the coolness of marble and mirror.
Product | Highlight detail |
---|---|
LURE Table Lamp – matte-gold steel, 45 cm wide | Sleek geometric shade, soft diffused light. |
SERAPHINA Crystal Lamp – smoky crystal & gold acrylic | Mysterious glass, high-glam vibe. |
LUXOR Lamp – black steel, gold crystal, marble base | Striking yet refined contrast. |
In the 1930s, Bakelite and chrome were considered “high-tech” materials; pairing them with gold added the luxury sparkle homeowners craved.
Light hack: Hang the LURE pendant 10 cm lower than usual above the dining table—instantly creates lounge-bar intimacy.
3. Marble & Travertine—Timeless Luxury Surfaces
Art Deco adores noble stone. If full-height cladding is too much drama, let one hero piece carry the vibe:
Product | Material & Size |
---|---|
LEZEY Dining Table | White marble top & gold frame (200 × 100 cm) |
THIENNES TV Stand | Light travertine (250 × 40 cm) |
SANNUM Dining Table |
Jazz‑age cafés loved marble cocktail tables because the stone kept drinks chilled—vintage ads bragged about this “built‑in refrigeration”.
DIY hack: In one afternoon, clad your fireplace surround with a single marble‑look porcelain slab—about one‑third the cost of real stone and 90 % of the wow.
4. Mirrors—Optical Space‑Boosters
Slim metal frames or sunburst silhouettes double the light and lend that signature Deco rhythm.
Product | Style |
---|---|
MONACO Mirror | Black poly‑resin frame (101 × 104 cm) |
INCH Floor Lamp |
Multicolor marble art deco lamp |
Quick tip: Hang three BAHIALE mirrors in a “herringbone” pattern over the sofa—dynamic lines, zero demolition.
Sunburst mirrors trace back to Louis XIV, the “Sun King”, but the Art Deco movement turned the radial form into a global style icon.
5. Noble Textiles & Lustrous Metals
A plush velvet sofa and satin cushions balance hard marble and metal:
- Emerald or blush velvet sofa with gold button tufting—pure Gatsby.
- Contrasting‑piped satin cushions for subtle shimmer.
-
AURORA Marble‑Base Lamp – marble, gold steel, crystal shade (Secnal Home collection, coming soon).
Early Deco interiors mixed silk, satin and even exotic skins—the goal was to recreate movie‑palace opulence at home.
+1. An Iconic Centrepiece—The Room’s Conductor
KAPIE Dining Table – 7‑cm solid elm top, matte‑gold frame (200 × 90 cm; seats 8)
Why it works
- The wrap‑around gold frame echoes your lamps’ gleam.
- Warm wood texture softens stone and metal.
- Large enough to anchor everything: LURE pendant above, GUIEM mirror behind, travertine THIENNES stand for the TV.
