Art deco interior design that keeps drawing us back. Maybe it is the bold confidence of the 1920s, an era of glamour, innovation and unapologetic style. It continues to inspire everything from entertainment and fashion to modern interiors.

We see this energy in shows like Stranger Things and the nostalgic tones of artists like Benson Boone. Likewise, now this iconic Art Deco interior design is having a proper moment in Sydney, extending to the tiles. 

What Makes Art Deco Interior Decor So Special

The beauty of modern art deco interior design lies in its distinctive elements. “Often defined by geometric patterns and motifs, bold jewel tones and rich material palettes, the interior design style is opulent and decadent”. . It is this combination that translates so beautifully into tile work.

Think about those signature shapes that define art deco style interior design: Trapezoids, triangles, zigzags, chevrons and sunbursts. These geometric patterns work brilliantly in bathroom feature walls, kitchen backsplashes or entrance hall floors. They create instant visual impact without overwhelming your space.

Creating Interior Art Deco Vibes with Tiles

Art Deco style is all about symmetrical, geometric, streamlined pieces with simplistic form but made with really innovative, speciality materials.  This principle is perfect for modern tile applications in Sydney homes.

The colour palette is key to nailing art deco contemporary interior design. The  traditional Art Deco in the ’20s used a lot of very rich, jewel-tone colour palettes.. Think emerald greens, deep blues and warm golds, colours that work beautifully in tile form and suit Australia’s bright, natural light.

Modern Art Deco Interior Design That Works

Here is what’s brilliant about today’s approach to art deco interiors: you do not need to go full Gatsby mansion to get the look. Start with statement tile pieces. A geometric floor pattern in your entrance, some chevron-patterned subway tiles in the kitchen, or a sunburst design in your powder room can capture that Art Deco house interior feeling without going overboard.

The Global Influence of Modern Art Deco Interior Design

What is fascinating is how this style travelled around the world. It’s fascinating how rapidly it goes around the world and how each region has its own way of interpreting it. This adaptability is exactly why it works so well in Australian homes; we can take the best elements and make them suit our lifestyle. Modern art deco interior styling embraces this flexibility.
