A new wave of Art Deco is shaping modern interiors. Known as New Deco, it is the stripped-back interpretation. It reimagines the era with a neutral colour palette such as warm brown and cream. The days of bold lines and jewel tones are gone, replacing it with curved and rounded structures with a touch of luxurious materials such as brushed metals or polished woods. Striking a balance between the classic and New Deco is simpler than you think.
Embrace the curve
The stripped-back approach to New Deco emphasises organic, gentle shapes over bold and angular furniture. It softens the space, bringing a sense of comfort and closeness. For anyone concerned about tight corners, curved sectionals enhance flow in that space.
Where light steals the show
Neo Deco lamps act more as a design statement than just a source of light, adding personality and transforming the room. To balance the modern look, choose pieces made from luxurious materials like polished brass or brushed metal. Choose a warm, diffused lighting such as pendant lights or wall scones ideally with geometric or abstract forms.
A hint of pattern or a dash of colour
Geometric patterns are central to the Art Deco style, and they can be incorporated in a more understated way for New Deco. Try utilising a patterned rug or wallpaper. You could even add an accent wall in a red or soft blue to bring back the theme.
