Thirties-inspired decorating

Take elements of the Art Deco period and give them a modern spin with witty updates and contemporary accessories...

Create a neutral backdrop

A neutral scheme with monochrome accents suits an Art Deco setting. Echo the window lines and paint up to dado height in a richer shade to add depth and create a backdrop. Play with scale to keep the look modern.
