The Modern Art Deco Collection: One of the New Designer Appointed Collections by Toll Brothers

Developed in France in the early 1900s, the Art Deco movement (short for arts décoratifs) came to prominence in America in the 1920s and 1930s. Influenced by ancient cultures and the Machine Age’s technological advancements, this style utilizes geometric patterns, straight lines, and lavish, high-end materials. The Art Deco movement often presents itself in art, architecture, and product design, and many of its principles are still incorporated into today’s homes to create a bold and glamorous look.

Enhance Your Home’s Modern Art Deco Aesthetic

Choosing the right colors, textures, décor, and furniture can enhance your home’s Art Deco-inspired style. Read on for more tips to bring this look to life in your new Toll Brothers home.

Color

Rich jewel tones are heavily favored in Art Deco-inspired interiors. Paired with neutrals like beige and black, this luxurious and high contrast palette also features gold, silver, and chrome to craft rich, elegant spaces. Keeping your wall color neutral allows you to add vibrant colors through art, furniture, rugs, and other décor pieces. Or explore bold, saturated wall colors to create a dramatic statement.

 

Texture

Many of Art Deco’s defining textures came from its enthusiastic embrace of new technology. Sleek, shiny materials like glass block, chrome, and stainless steel were innovative in their debut and still appreciated today for their glamorous appeal. Luxurious fabrics like silk and velvet add flair to drapery, upholstery, and bedding. A key element of Art Deco style, geometric patterns also provide visual depth. Explore wallpaper and accessories like throw pillows with motifs such as sunbursts, chevron, zigzag, and trapezoidal patterns.

 

Décor and Furniture

The key features of Art Deco furniture are large-scale designs, symmetry, and angular lines and curves. Iconic pieces, such as waterfall dressers with exotic wood veneers, are easy to source on the vintage market and emblematic of the period. Choose plush club chairs in leather, lacquered finishes, and details like metal and mother-of-pearl inlays. Curvilinear pieces, like a gently curved velvet sofa, are also great for adding Art Deco aesthetics with a contemporary edge.

 

One of the simplest ways to infuse Art Deco style into your home is through lighting. Opulent glass chandeliers, geometric bronze sconces, and retro-style lamps are all fitting of this style.
