Design Tips for Architectural Styles: Art Deco
Trying to think of remodeling and décor ideas for your Art Deco style home? Whether you just want an update or want to remodel so that rooms in your new home better match the original, period style architecture, you need a place to start.
We often recommend books (particularly the 2013 edition of Virginia Savage McAlester’s A Field Guide to American Houses), but if you want some quick tips and design inspiration, keep reading!
Common Art Deco Design Elements & Characteristics
Below are common characteristics of mid-century modern houses and design elements you may want to consider if you’re trying to remodel yet stay sensitive to your home’s original architecture:
- Geometric shapes (including chevrons and ziggurats)
- Materials like terracotta, stucco, concrete, and smooth-faced stone
- Flat roofs with parapets, spires, or tower-like constructs to accentuate a corner or entrance
- Square or round windows
