These 8 Art Deco Bedroom Ideas Speak For Themselves

Art deco (short for Arts Décoratifs) design first emerged in France in the 1920s. It's a maximalist style rooted in geometric forms, sunburst patterns, bright color, and a collection of many, sometimes contradictory styles. Art deco was associated with modernism and luxury — featuring gold and silver finishes, ivory, and craftsmanship second to none. It had a far-reaching influence on everything from design to fashion. One of the most iconic examples of art deco architecture is the Chrysler building in New York City.

Although nearly 100 years have passed since the revolutionary style burst onto the scene, it feels fresh and current again today. In fact, we're seeing a reemergence of many signature characteristics including pleated furniture, jewel tones, decorative surfaces, and geometric accents. If you're intrigued by the style, we suggest incorporating some of the '20s flair into your bedroom. After all, who doesn't love an opulent boudoir, replete with statement-making furniture, elevated details, and luxe fabric? Read on to discover how to master the look of an art deco bedroom all your own.

Pair a gold orbital pendant light with intricate fan-shaped wallpaper, as Emily Henderson did, to introduce a hint of '20s glamour in a traditional boudoir. And we love the way she balanced swanky pieces like the tufted velvet headboard and marble and gold bedside lamps with transitional accents such as wood nightstands, a Windsor style accent chair, and a rattan accent bench at the foot of the bed.
