Born out of a strong desire to shed the past and embrace all things futuristic and modern, the art deco movement is glamorous at its core. Decorative, decadent and detailed, art deco décor is defined by patterns and oversized geometric shapes. Play up metallic and black finishes and pair them with luxurious textures for a perfectly decorated art deco style.

- Greg Martin, Creative Director
