Art deco apartment elegance
An art deco apartment is defined by strong geometry, polished finishes, and a sense of tailored symmetry. Typical materials include marble, brass, lacquered wood, velvet, and chrome, often paired with bold stone or decorative plaster details. The palette usually balances black, cream, gold, emerald, and deep jewel tones with high-contrast accents.
