A Glimpse at History
Art Deco burst onto the scene in 1910s Paris—short for 'Arts décoratifs'—and by the roaring twenties, it had swept across architecture, fashion, and interiors with the confidence of a flapper entering a speakeasy. Among the most famous of these is the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building in New York City. Particularly known for its bold geometric patterns & streamlined forms, Art Deco often incorporates stylized floral and animal designs. Art Deco was decorative, exuberant modernism combined with luxurious gilded materials, glass & high quality, exotic wood materials.
As the style evolved, Art Deco borrowed from the styling of cars, train engines & planes during the interwar period and became more curvaceous than angular. Popular motifs include: palm leaf (Egyptian influence), repeating fan shape (Japanese inspired), triangle, chevron, semicircle & sunburst patterns. Ready to see how this translates to modern spaces?
Modern Day Rejuvenation
So why is this century-old style captivating designers and homeowners again? Because we're craving exactly what Art Deco delivered: bold confidence, luxurious materials, and spaces that feel intentionally crafted. 100 years later, Art Deco is finding itself a revival in the form of Neo Deco, the classic style reimagined through a Gen X and millennial eye. Interior design trends find us moving away from soft, cloudlike organic forms back to the geometric and angular designs of the past. Explore the use of this style with bold geometry, purposeful color usage, and clean, crisp lines.
Art Deco also finds new life in the style Retro Nouveau. Here the angular elements of early Art Deco and the retro designs of the 1970s meet for a delightful contemporary twist on a vintage look. But let’s discuss that further another day!
To avoid overwhelming a space, capture the spirit of Art Deco in select features - an accent wall, a brass or chrome light fixture, symmetrical details. Take the bold, glamorous and at times eccentric accents of Neo Deco while keeping your space warm. Incorporate texture such as velvet or layering rugs to soften the space. Think quiet luxury in a vintage-inspired space.

About this Design
This exquisite Art Deco wallpaper captures the essence of the roaring twenties with a decidedly modern twist. The pattern features classic Art Deco architectural elements—those signature geometric arches and fan motifs—rendered in luxurious metallic gold against a rich navy background. Delicate palm leaf details add an organic touch, softening the geometry while staying true to the era's love of stylized natural forms. The Neo Deco trend is all about bringing back the glamour and sophistication of the 1920s and 30s while keeping it fresh and livable for today's homes. This pattern walks that line beautifully—it's dramatic enough to make a statement but versatile enough to work in both traditional and contemporary spaces. Available in multiple colorways, you can customize it to match your vision, whether you're going for classic navy and gold, something softer, or even bolder.
How to Style This Wallpaper in Your Home
Choosing the Right Furniture
When you're working with a statement wallpaper like this, your furniture should complement the drama without competing. To harmonize with the Neo Deco wallpaper, opt for furniture that features clean lines and rich textures. Dark wood or black finishes can create a cohesive look, while plush seating adds comfort and sophistication. When it comes to seating, look for chairs with sculptural, curved lines that echo the Art Deco era. Consider round dining tables to soften the space and encourage conversation.
Layering Textures
Incorporate various textures to enhance the visual appeal of the dining area. Pair the wallpaper with soft velvet or linen tablecloths and textured cushions on the chairs. This layering creates depth and invites a cozy atmosphere.
Accent Decor Ideas
This is where you can have fun channeling your inner Jay Gatsby. That statement crystal chandelier isn't just lighting—it's jewelry for your room, and it's absolutely essential to the Art Deco aesthetic. Look for pieces with geometric shapes, clean lines, and plenty of sparkle. On your sideboard, keep things minimal but impactful. Strive for a balanced, symmetrical feel. A sculptural vase (like that dried floral arrangement in the moody ceramic vessel), a round gold-framed mirror with that perfect Art Deco arch, and perhaps a decorative tray or cocktail set in brass or gold.
The key is curated sophistication—each piece should feel intentional and special. Consider adding framed black and white photography or geometric art prints if you have wall space. Fresh flowers or dramatic dried arrangements in art deco-style vases add life and movement to the space without cluttering it.
Placement Tips
Creating the right flow in your dining room ensures it's as functional as it is beautiful. Center your dining table in the room, leaving at least 36-48 inches of clearance on all sides for chairs to pull out comfortably and for guests to move around. Your chandelier should hang 30-34 inches above the table surface—this ensures it makes an impact without obstructing conversation or views across the table. Position your sideboard along a wall where it's easily accessible but doesn't interrupt traffic flow. The space above it is perfect for that mirror and decorative styling.
If you're using wainscoting (highly recommended for this look!), aim for a height of about 32-36 inches—it creates beautiful proportion and doesn't overwhelm the space. Remember that Art Deco favors symmetry and balance, so try to create visual equilibrium in your furniture and decor placement while still keeping the space functional for real life.

The geometric design translates beautifully across different color stories, so you can make it truly your own while maintaining that timeless Art Deco elegance.
How do I clean and maintain traditional wallpaper?
Keep your Neo Deco wallpaper looking pristine with gentle care. Wipe with a slightly damp microfiber cloth and mild dish soap diluted in warm water, then dry immediately with a soft towel. Avoid harsh chemicals, ammonia-based cleaners, or abrasive scrubbing, as these can damage the surface and dull the finish. For dining rooms where walls might encounter the occasional splash, this gentle cleaning method will keep your wallpaper looking gallery-worthy for years.
