Party Like Gatsby: The Art Deco Revival is Here

Interior design trends are circular. What is considered ‘vintage’ eventually becomes new again. It’s easy to trace back most trends to their origins, whether it’s ‘70s-inspired lush green wallpaper or dopamine decorating. One of the most recognizable – and influential – style eras is Art Deco. Picture the grandeur of The Great Gatsby or the Empire State Building.

It’s no surprise that Art Deco has been having a revival with its popularity skyrocketing in recent years, becoming a muse for fashion and interior design trends. Channel your inner Gatsby and embrace the trend’s revival with our signature art deco wallpaper.

These designs are available in two PVC-free styles – peel and stick, and non-pasted wallpapers to suit every type of home and project, from feature walls to furniture.

What is Art Deco?

Few design eras have the timeless appeal and elegance of Art Deco. You can see the influence of the 1920s to the 1930s almost anywhere you look, from flamboyant architecture to decadent jewels.

We can trace the origins of the trend back to the 1910s in Paris, but it took on a new life throughout Europe and the United States after World War I, influenced by the bold geometric designs of cubism and a global blend of art styles.

You can recognize the Art Deco trend for its sleek geometric shapes, often incorporating curved elements with sharp lines. The Art Deco period was a sign of hope and prosperity, so it’s no surprise that the trend has made a post-pandemic return.

Adding a Splash of Art Deco into Any Space

Home & Garden has given the modern interpretation of the trend the nickname ‘Updated Deco’ for its more minimalistic approach, incorporating bright colors and strong metals in a more contemporary way.

The secret to incorporating Art Deco into your home is to keep it simple. Whether it’s vintage furniture or art deco wallpaper, choose one element of the room as the statement piece. Don’t shy away from using other trends associated with the era, like lacquered furniture and polished wood.

An accent wall is the easiest way to experiment with the Art Deco trend. Add it all over for smaller rooms or elevate furniture like a bookcase or even your fridge with these art deco wallpapers.
