Tips for creating an art deco bedroom
When creating a bedroom in the art deco style, you must take into account the recommendations of experts:
You should not choose large furniture, just a bed is enough, the rest should be compact.
There is no need to use acidic colors as contrast.
White color will visually increase the space of the room.
All textiles must be made from expensive fabrics, such as velvet, silk, jacquard.
All decorative items must be carefully selected so that they match the interior and do not look too provocative.
An art deco mirror is a must in the bedroom.
Photo wallpaper is possible to cover the walls, but it is preferable as an accent and it is best to place them on the wall at the head of the bed.
You can use furniture not from one set, but separately, the main thing is that they combine with each other and look interesting.
Lighting selection
An art deco bedroom is a space saturated with light. Preference is given to soft lighting with a yellow tint. The main lamp is a large ceiling chandelier in the center of the room. Massive and elegant, made of crystal or glass, often of a bizarre shape with a large number of horns. Another option is a modern designer cubic chandelier with a textile shade. There should be bedside lamps on the bedside tables, and a floor lamp near the dressing table. Directional lighting of niches, mirrors, and paintings looks beautiful.
In an art deco bedroom, greater preference is given to sources of artificial light than to sunlight. Therefore, the windows are often covered with curtains, and the insinuating glow of electric lamps creates a special, sophisticated, intimate atmosphere.
