The art deco style, which appeared in the 20s of the last century, the name of which comes from the French art déco, which means “decorative art,” is rightfully considered synonymous with luxury. It arose between the First and Second World Wars, during the era of jazz and luxury ocean cruise ships, and immediately fell in love with the elite of American and European society.
In this review, we will talk about the design features of an apartment in the Art Deco style, current planning and color solutions for the living room, bedroom, kitchen, hall, office, bathroom and, of course, modern decor ideas. And also, using the example of a photo from the portfolio of the Studio of Angelika Prudnikova, which is one of the few in Moscow where unique interiors of the “luxury” category are created, we will demonstrate what elite apartments look like in the art deco style.
Features and characteristics of the art deco style
Each interior style has its own characteristics, and art deco is no exception. In general, it continues the classical traditions, but can be either luxuriously ornate or rather laconic. As for the distinctive features of this style, it is worth talking about them in more detail.
Contrasting color scheme for the apartment interior
All photos In the photo: Living-dining room with fireplace
The interior in the Art Deco style is characterized by a contrasting color scheme, which designers call “piano keys.” The combination of black and white colors is very popular, which looks good in a modern space, a mix of creamy and chocolate shades, as well as a vanilla-truffle color scheme.
Abundance of glossy surfaces in decor and finishing

Plain glossy facades, mirror inserts on furniture, an apron and polished marble floor - the more reflective surfaces there are in the interior of a kitchen-living room in the art deco style, the more festive and expensive it is will look.
Shine of metal

Nothing emphasizes success and prosperity more than the shine of noble metal. That's why there are a lot of metal elements in luxury interiors: lamp frames, furniture legs and fronts, moldings on wall panels, accessories. The metal can be any, but details in gold, chrome and brass look the most advantageous.
Mirror decor

The design of an apartment in the art deco style is unthinkable without mirror decor. These can be original panels made of beveled tiles of various shapes and sizes, cornices and edgings that are installed during renovation, furniture inserts or traditional mirrors in luxurious silver frames.
Expensive exclusive finish

Exquisite art deco interiors are echoes of the era of “The Great Gatsby”, a dream come true of a luxurious life. So it is not surprising that this style is on the crest of popularity today. But to implement it in the design of an apartment, you will need a detailed project, which can be ordered from the Studio of Angelika Prudnikova.
A little history
First, let's figure out what art deco is and why it is called French modern. The name translates as decorative art.
And indeed, every thing, item, object visually turns the interior into a decoration for the action, which was invented by the main scriptwriter of the spectacle - the owner of the house. This is his performance, his personality, his rules of the game.
The style originated in the early 1910s and was officially presented in 1925 at the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts in Paris. There they gave it a name.
After the war, people wanted something graceful, festive, elegant. Filled with gloss, glamor and decorative power, the art style helped to distract from the gray everyday life of the post-war era.
Jazz was born in music, the great Gatsby dominated in literature, and the owners of houses and apartments plunged headlong into creating elegant luxury.
“Deco” is not called jazz modern for nothing. Like unexpected notes and musical passages, it helps to improvise when creating a setting. France, as usual, set the tone for fashion.
