Ready to swoon over some seriously glam spaces? I pulled together five fresh takes on New Art Deco that feel modern, chic, and totally livable. Think bold geometry, rich materials, and a dash of Hollywood sparkle—without feeling like a themed time capsule.
Each look is a complete room concept you can copy right now. We’re talking color palettes, furniture shapes, the right metals, and those finishing touches that make everything sing.
1. Black-Tie Living Room With Brass Geometry
This one is pure high-drama glamour, like a tuxedo for your home. The palette stays tight: ink black, soft ivory, and warm brass with a couple of crystal moments to catch the light. It’s moody but not heavy, sleek but still plush.
Start with an ivory bouclé sofa that curves gently like an Art Deco theater seat. Frame it with a black-lacquer media console on tall, tapered legs. Then drop a brass-and-glass tiered coffee table in front—something with strong geometry and sharp, clean lines.
- Walls: Deep charcoal with a subtle eggshell sheen to bounce light.
- Rug: Off-white wool with a thin black Greek-key border—crisp but soft.
- Lighting: A smoked-glass chandelier in a stepped silhouette, plus twin brass torchère lamps with frosted shades.
Layer in deco motifs—fan-pattern velvet pillows, a sunburst mirror with slender brass rays, and a pair of black pedestal side tables with scalloped edges. On the walls, hang monochrome abstract prints in thin brass frames to keep the rhythm without visual clutter.
Finish with a low bowl of white peonies, a stack of fashion books, and a smoked crystal decanter on a mirrored tray. It’s cocktail hour every hour.
2. Emerald-and-Ebony Dining Room With Mirror Glam
If you love the idea of a sultry supper club at home, this one’s your star. The hero is a high-gloss ebony dining table with a softly rounded rectangular top, perched on stepped column legs—so Deco it practically hums.
Surround it with emerald velvet dining chairs that have tight channel tufting on the back and slim black metal frames capped with brass feet. The combo feels rich but not fussy, especially under a tiered glass chandelier that mimics the movement of a waterfall.
- Walls: Matte deep emerald on two walls, and a full antiqued mirror panel on the third to double the drama.
- Floor: Dark-stained herringbone wood with a low-pile charcoal rug under the table.
- Storage: A curved bar cabinet in piano black with fluted doors and a brass inlay starburst.
Set the table with black stoneware plates, brass flatware, and slim crystal coupes. Add a pair of art deco candlesticks—stepped bases, tall tapers—and a centerpiece of glossy monstera leaves in a ribbed smoked-glass vase.
On the walls, go for a pair of deco fan sconces with opaline shades. The glow is soft and glamorous, ideal for conversation and another pour. This room begs for jazz on vinyl.
3. Rose-Quartz Bedroom With Curved Chrome and Soft Glam
This is the dreamiest, most romantic spin on New Art Deco—gentle curves, blush tones, and satin-smooth finishes. Think classic movie star dressing room, but updated and restful.
Anchor the space with a scalloped channel-tufted headboard in rose-quartz velvet. Flank it with chrome-and-lacquer nightstands—rounded corners, one slim drawer, and a petite shelf for a nighttime novel. Overhead, a chrome halo chandelier with frosted glass orbs bathes everything in a flattering glow.
- Palette: Rose quartz, warm ivory, pale taupe, and a kiss of chrome.
- Bedding: Ivory sateen duvet, quilted velvet throw at the foot, and two art deco fan pillows in blush and ivory.
- Rug: Plush ivory with a pale geometric trellis—soft underfoot, subtle pattern.
For storage, choose a curved-front dresser in high-gloss taupe with chrome pulls. Above it, hang a round sunburst mirror in mixed chrome and pearlized resin. At the windows, layer sheer ivory curtains under blackout velvet panels with a crisp, scalloped trim.
Little luxuries make it sing: a lucite vanity stool with blush velvet, a mirrored tray with pale perfumes, and a pair of deco shell sconces as reading lights. The overall vibe is feather-light but undeniably glamorous—perfect for slow mornings and soft landings at night.
4. Streamline Moderne Home Office in Navy and Walnut
This one leans into the sleek, aerodynamic side of Art Deco—clean lines, rounded edges, and a cool confidence that makes you want to get things done. The color combo is ink navy, rich walnut, and brushed steel.
Start with a walnut desk that has a curved waterfall edge and a slim brushed-steel apron. Pair it with a camel leather swivel chair on a chrome base—substantial but not bulky. To the side, add a low credenza with fluted walnut doors and a single inlaid steel stripe for that deco wink.
- Walls: Saturated navy, matte finish, with a picture rail in walnut.
- Lighting: A streamlined banker’s lamp in brushed steel and a ceiling fixture with concentric rings.
- Rug: Flatweave in navy and ivory chevron—crisp, businesslike, still stylish.
Display a few black-and-white architectural photographs in thin steel frames. Add a vintage-style clock with stepped numerals and a smoked-glass face. On the shelves, keep it tight: walnut boxes, clear file trays, and a couple of malachite bookends for a jolt of luxe green.
Bring a touch of softness with a velvet club chair in stormy blue and a petite side table in chrome with a black marble top. It’s a space that keeps your head clear and your aesthetic sharp.
5. Champagne Kitchen With Fluted Details and Marble Drama
Yes, a Deco kitchen—glamorous, functional, and absolutely showstopping. Picture champagne-toned cabinetry with subtle metallic sheen, fluted paneling on the island, and veined marble that makes your heart skip.
Go for tall shaker-meets-deco doors with a slim stepped profile, finished in soft champagne beige. The counters and backsplash are bold: Calacatta-style marble with wide, dramatic veining that waterfalls over the island edges. Hardware is brushed brass in slender, stepped pulls—polished but not flashy.
- Lighting: Three opal globe pendants with layered brass crowns over the island.
- Seating: Channel-tufted bar stools in cream faux leather with brass-capped legs.
- Floor: Large-format porcelain in warm white with a faint terrazzo fleck—easy and glam.
Above the range, add a custom hood with a stepped crown and a slim brass band. Style the counters with ribbed glass canisters, a smoked-glass cake stand, and a petite vase of white ranunculus. Open shelves? Keep to clear glass or fluted glass fronts to echo the deco rhythm.
To finish, hang a pair of art deco poster prints in muted colors—café scenes, travel ads, typographic glamour. The effect is airy, luminous, and a little celebratory, like popping a bottle on a Tuesday just because.
There you have it—five totally distinct New Art Deco moods, each one polished and ready for real life. Pick your favorite, blend a couple, or borrow the details that make your heart race. Glamour, but make it livable? That’s the new vibe.
