In this video, I go over some of my best tips to decorate in the art deco interior design style. I go over some of the history of art deco, how it is different from art nouveau, outline who would really enjoy art deco, who would not, and I give you my tips on how to decorate in the art deco style. With art deco, it's all about bold color, drama, sharp angles, geometrics, symmetry and luxury materials which I think is just fabulous! Also, listed below are some links to art deco pieces.

I cant buy 100% into art deco home design, I definitely lean toward organicism BUT I would love an art deco revival in the public sphere. Works so good for restaurants/lounges/etc the vibes are real. Love the architectural features 👌

Yes! Deco revival in the public spaces! Something very reassuring about symmetry, balance, and confident colors in public spaces.

Thank you for helping me identify my style as art nouveau NOT Art Deco. I now understand the difference! Please do a similar video on art nouveau/boho style as a follow up. It is very relevant now. Also, please address colors/pallets that relate, as you did in this video. Neither of these styles, with strategic thrifting/flea marketing for focal pieces, require big budgets when paired with like minded retailers (I.e. deco/CB2) - please find the nouveau/boho retail analogy. So helpful! So empowering! Thank you!

@tasia2174 2 года назад

So I know this might sound lame, but if you want some inspiration look at the set/costume design for the elves in the Lord of the Rings movies. The way they were designed was very much inspired by Art Nouveau. Also check out William Morris designs. He is most known for his Arts and Crafts designs, but he also did Art Nouveau ones.

@CheeseBae 2 года назад

We have an opulent hotel from the 1920s where I live that's never been modified. Its architecture has an almost Ancient Egyptian feel to it in heaviness and grandeur. There's a lot of dark natural woods, tons of gold everywhere, loud black and white natural stones, and the walls that were painted were a sandy beige with splashes of gold and teal. Large painted frescoes everywhere.

Was there a transition between Art Nouveau & Art Deco? To me they're diametrically opposed, and Nouveau was at least five years dead when early Deco came along. Speaking of France here; in Vienna things were different.

@vaderladyl 2 года назад

I actually think they look very similar.

@johnvonundzu2170 2 года назад

@@whiteserpent6753 Agree. And Art Nouveau home furnishings never much percolated down from the richest 3%. An average household might have had an AN picture frame or whatnot (that nobody really looked at anyway) among the Edwardian Louis XVI and it probably would hang there until WW2. And Deco in the 1920s was mainly in public spaces - only the rich had lacquer, bronze, ebony, etc at home - cheap 1920s Deco furniture barely existed. A Deco radio or phonograph would have been likely the only "modern" furniture in a late 1920s home. Only when late Deco (Moderne) came along in the 30s did inexpensive iterations began to take over in middle class houses.

@tasia2174 2 года назад

I'm trying to figure out how I can have something so indulgent to anchor my completely empty (for now) living room. I've even considered renting/buying an industrial sewing machine (one that can power through layers & piping) in order to purchase a more simple couch (beige. eh.) and cover it with my own creation. The velvet would be crazy expensive once done, but I would adore it. Why is everything affordable gray, gray, gray, beige, taupe, and gray?!

One thing to consider is that during this time period, kitchens were quite utilitarian--there was nothing glamorous or spacious about a kitchen. People ate in the dining room and the kitchen was like a "backstage" area. If you want to see a historical representation of art deco, watch the old Poirot episodes. Yes, he lives in an apartment and is single, but his apartment is quite luxurious--though the kitchen isn't.

@NilZed1 2 года назад

On the other hand, this was when a lot of our ideas about efficiency, santitation and the use of modern appliances began. As boring as they might look to us, are deco era kitchens, at least the sort in high end flats and houses such as Poirot lived in, WERE designed with thought, compared to older kitchens which tended to be individual kitchen items: coal stove, sink, big table, smaller table, pie safes/ice boxes plopped around a room in no particular order or plan. Kitchens were small and not meant for company to hand about in, but they weren't neglected spaces.

I love Art Deco. Thank you for tying it into Art Nouveau. I like to think of Art Deco as the style of industry and power of man born out of a desire to move away from the decadence of Art Nouveau and late 19th century styles like French Second Empire and Queen Anne. It's still highly decorative but it embraces a new age. For modern-day Art Deco, the set for the TV show a Series of Unfortunate Events does a nice job of modernizing the style in the episode Ersatz Elevator.

@Halbmond 2 года назад

@@hereforthevideoessays6399 art deco and post modernism (Memphis design) don’t really look alike very much. Art deco was as decorative as art nouveaux, but characterized by the materials that were new at the time, and - as Becker wrote - a certain ideology that was optimistic about the future and mankind’s place in it. It was eccentric yet elegant. Postmodernism (Memphis) was a (j̶u̶v̶e̶n̶i̶l̶e̶) counter initiative to modernism: it was colorful and whimsical, and de-emphasized functionality. It did all of this primarily to make a (political) statement. Visually, it was more playful than glamorous. Maximalism and glam are, in my opinion, just interior design modifiers and not really styles themselves. In any case, they aren’t from a specific time period. If you google maximalism, some sources say maximalism has existed for centuries. It’s just the opposite of minimalism … and glam, I’d say it’s a generic version of the glamorous styles of the last century. It’s just a short-hand for glamorous, so I’d say you could label any specific interior style or time period as glam if it uses a lot of shiny materials and has that certain aura. So, art deco is an old, particular kind of glam. Contemporary glam is often more minimalistic and not as decorative imo.

Thank you SO MUCH for bringing the subject of the continuity or the reasons behind the emergence of an art movement ! And yes, to be consistent in your deco, YOU NEED to know a bit of history... So many people think Art Nouveau (=Modern Style) and Art Deco are the same... Well, nothing could be less true ! There is a lot of Art Nouveau in the Art Deco movement and though it has lasted very little time compared to Art Deco, it had a major influence despite its detractors. Light, color, patterns, space (especially regarding entrances) and liberty were all considerations of Art Nouveau... It was also a time when everything feminine was relevant. But the masculanity of Art Deco won (again) through its symmetrical and geometrical patterns and style, denying the authorship to what Art Nouveau had made possible. Must I add that Art Nouveau emerged in reaction to the industrial era ?! So did Art Deco in reaction to Art Nouveau ! Everything has a purpose ;-) I read somewhere that you can always mix styles that are close in time to achieve a good deco, hence why mixing Art Deco with mid century or industrial are ok. Finally, for the curious ones, have a look at this gorgeous Art Nouveau house : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m4vnoGh_VYY.html

I live in the Sahara Desert in an unfinished cement and brick block house, but never miss your videos. I have not always lived in such a place, (and won't always be here) and when I lived in Kansas and planned my homes, I always searched for balance. I see in many real estate shows that people don't know how to balance their furnishings. For one thing, people always shove their sofas against the walls. Another thing, in a room with beautiful windows, people place their sofa across the space which means the view is lost AND visitors sometimes have to face bright sunlight. Maybe you could do some demonstrations--from unbalanced to balanced.Balance is so important and makes even a humble space welcoming.

@donnapecoraro3126 2 года назад

I know you like the idea of it. But I’m afraid of what you may have started, lol. Glam is Deco’s tacky child. Deco is about elegance, but a new elegance contrasting what came before. Look at the interiors of the Empire State Building. Deco does lend itself to larger spaces, leaving room for angular patterns, controlled arches. There are still some pieces to be found in thrift, like any other style it was mass produced and there were bedroom sets, ladie’s vanitys with matching mirrors. Some of the veneer woods used were lighter in color, frequently using geometric patterned detail with side to side matched veneers. Accessories can still be found, ceramic vases, figurines, silk screened art pints, blue tinted mirrors. These I think can be blended into an eclectic style decor. Doing an entire room might be too much, and may tend to slide down the slippery slope to glam.

Besides the mind-numbing and astounding talent of Fred and Ginger, and the superlative classic timelessness of the great American songbook, these films unfolded like an elegant fairytale of a dreamy silken chiffon like landscape on celluloid.

I used a door sticker as l don't have a year to do it by hand. I love it. Seeing this video l realize it is "art deco". My style is absolutely eclectic. As l have but one life to live l want to embrace all styles and have great fun making them work together. *With that said, this the perfect channel.*

Listening to your videos at 1.5x speed is my favorite. Not because I want them to be over sooner it just amps up the comedic sarcasm and I love it 😀

The 80s had some Art Deco revival that truly makes my skin crawl. It can go cheesy if done wrong. I now feel more comfortable with Art Deco, thanks Nick.

A lot of these Art Deco images really remind me of my teenage years in the 80's, lol. Then we had the color combo of pink and green ...and the art of Patrick Nagel, but boy were a lot of the shapes similar! So, if anyone out there really likes this style and can't find stuff that is 100 years old, just look for stuff from the 1980's and you're real dang close!p to it!

I have collected some quality Art Deco pieces that I will always incorporate into my home and let them speak for that era I totally love.

@yeahray9907 2 года назад

Art Deco also happened as a big style inspired by Carter’s discovery of King Tutankhamen’s burial site. I love this coming back, I have a nice collection of pieces, so thank you.

I just got a 1920’s appartment in the Hague, Netherlands. Totally decorating it in a mix of art deco and Jugendstil. Love it. I love bothe the more straight lines of art deco but also the more organic art nouveau forms. So my aim is to mix both. Guess I can’t decide.😊

@nellymargolin7442 Год назад

I absolutely love Art Deco style, especially in public spaces. We just visited American Dream Mall in NJ. They did a great job decorating it Art Deco style. We were very impressed by it.

OMG! Just what I needed to feel excited about our upcoming crazy house purchase of a 1935 built full timber house with a wealth of Art Deco fire places, dark wood everywhere, and even a butler bell in the kitchen in full working order. Think calling for another G&T from any room in the house! But we have no idea of how to decorate in this design period! So this was a big big revelation and sparks my design ideas! Thank you for the permission to go bold with colours (being a hobby artist I love love love colours) but in a tasteful way! So exciting! Please could you make more videos in Art Deco styles for homes of this decade, particularly colour combinations and Art Deco in a more subtle way! You just can’t through out all your furniture and buy everything Art Deco! You just can’t go all out marble just because it’s so glamorous! Is there glamorous, dramatic, bold on a budget? How do you achieve Art Deco without overwhelming the space and visitors? Anyway we absolute love all your videos and your humour makes us often laugh out loud! Thank you and keep doing what you do!

Perfectly clear, now i know the difference between art nouveau and art deco thank you

@samanthastrassell2163 2 года назад

I would like to see like a victorian rustic video! It's currently my favorite and I don't know if that's what it's called but it's like neutral palettes with vintage wallpaper and beautiful fireplaces. I aspire to have a house half like that 😂

You might like a channel called Farmhouse Vernacular. She’s into that, and she bought an old house and is fixing it up in that kind of style you mention.

I love the optimism and the grandeur of art deco. In spirit it feels similar to the futurism of the 1950s and 60s: the idea that manmade materials are special, that the future is going to be really cool, and that mankind can achieve anything. The Chrysler Building is absolutely stunning, and look at the winged metal soldier watching over the Niagara Mohawk Building! All of this just feels … greater than life. Admittedly, it also reminds me of Bioshock and the political ideas of that time, so it’s giving me chills at the same time. I also really like the sleek lines of streamline design which kind of sprung from art deco. And in some ways, I think all of this is a much classier kind of glam than what we now think of as glam! Unfortunately, most modern “art deco” interiors don’t really look like art deco at all, and when you try to find products in that style, you’re just bombarded with wallpapers and posters featuring cliché patterns. Thanks for recommending CB2, that looks like one of the most promising sources!

GREAT VIDEO NICK!!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!! ART DECO IS HOT IN 1984!!!!

@liznotslow 2 года назад

Yes! I've been waiting for this video! I definitely like organic curvy lines, so I think I would want a blend of art deco and art nouveau. But I haven't been able how to picture this as a modern interpretation.

@RubyLaughter 2 года назад

My fiance and I recently bought a fabulous green velvet sofa. We are still struggling to pinpoint our style because we love the colour and drama of art deco but the shapes of art nouveau.

I loooooooove Art Deco!! My favourite shop to buy from is Bold Monkey! Their sofas are incredible! Currently saving up for the “unlock me cabinet” - its to die for 😍😍😍

The game Bioshock, particularly 1 & 2 in the series, capture the spirit of Art Deco extremely well.

Total Art Deco fan & I love CB2. I love mixing Art Deco elements into a more muted space, focusing on shapes & luxury materials & contrast of muted colors.

Hi Nick, I absolutely loved your video as I love Art Deco. I have styled my kitchen with red and cream units with black Quartz work tops. I tried to give it that look. After 12 years I still think it works. I would love to have a lot of Art Deco pieces, but I buy what I can afford. You’ve given me some really good ideas and inspiration to decorate with geometric shapes. Thank you as always. Love hearing from you, and you make me smile at your humour. Stay safe Xx 😘

@Amalthea16 Год назад

Would love to see you do a video discussing art nouveau more in depth. It’s an underrated style IMO and I would love to learn how to decorate that style

@HerLeenest 2 года назад

I would love a video on art nouveau. I'm trying to figure out what I like, get inspired, and figure out what my design style is.

@pamelajohnson8044 2 года назад

LOVE ART DECO, STREAMLINE MODERNE, MID CENTURY MIXING ECLECTIC TOGETHER BUT KEEPING IT FRESH, FUN AND GLAMOROUS. THE ART DECO TRAVEL POSTERS AND TYPE FONTS ARE MY TWO FAV. 🎨👩🏿‍🎨🎨

@masumij.9634 2 года назад

My first comment here (I’ve been watching for a while)! I love art deco and there isn’t much videos out there. So glad you did it. I’m trying to incorporate some elements in a more muted way. Perhaps you can do a video for us about different types of mixing styles. Thank you for putting great content out there.

@72chorus 2 года назад

I absolutely love Art Deco. It’s so loud and colorful and fun, which is such a contrast to the beige house I grew up in.

I've ALWAYS loved Deco...I'm talking when I was 5 I'd watch old movies just to see the deco. I decorate in deco now that I have my own home. Good stuff 🖤

@emilyprice861 2 года назад

I love art Deco. After seeing the National Museum exhibition on how the industrialisation post WWI affected design it is so strong and bold. I also enjoy how the pictures of the trains and cars show movement, power and adventure by their use of repeating lines.

@tiffanyredwine5218 2 года назад

You are so, so rad and fun to watch!!! I love your sense of humor and honesty! You're part of a dying breed, nobody actually speaks their mind anymore in fear of possibly offending .5% of their audience which turns all content into 90% disclaimers and premature apologies followed by vanilla, corporate feeling Training video vibes. I really appreciate your authenticity and dickish comments. Great stuff!

@user-mk9lt8kz3f 3 месяца назад

This is two years late, but better late than never! I love this video because we are restoring our home that was completed in 1925. The exterior is renaissance revival, but the interior is early art deco (with hints of art nouveau and mackintosh rose leaded glass windows on our stair landing). Fortunately not much has been changed to the structure, but we have A LOT of cosmetic changes to make in order for the house to look the way it did when it was originally finished. The basement was a beer hall/speakeasy for the Detroit Fire and Police Departments-completely art deco and in tact...I wish Nick was a lot closer...We could use his advice and guidance!

@Cactus12 2 года назад

I love Art Deco in other places, but I wouldn’t want my whole house to be themed like that. I just think I’d get tired of that. Im a more costal, boho, mid century modern person. I like clean neutrals with pops of color. I guess what I’m trying to say is Art Deco is too big of a commitment to me, but I do think it’s beautiful still

@Pammie143 2 года назад

yeah same here and def not in the bedroom, it exudes too much energy for me but I guess you could modify it somewhat if you really wanted it.
