Enter the festive season with a touch of glamour thanks toArt Deco. This timeless style, characterized by its geometric shapes, noble materials and deep hues, is establishing itself as a refined trend for decorating your home this Christmas. With opulent colors, luxurious textures and festive elements, discover how to marry Christmas magic and sophisticated aesthetics for an elegant and unforgettable ambience.
Adopt a glamorous color palette
To introduce
Art Deco into your
Christmas decorating, start by revisiting the color palette. Opt for rich, vibrant
colors like deep red, midnight blue or emerald green. These tones blend in perfectly with the holiday season, while adding a
touch of luxury. For an even more festive touch, embellish your
decorations with dazzling gilding reminiscent of the opulence of the Art Deco era:
baubles, ribbons and even napkins adorned with metallic accents.
To complete this colorful universe, don't hesitate to mix touches of black and white for an assertive, timeless aesthetic. This combination offers a chic contrast, perfect for complementing the brilliance of the gilding and creating a sophisticated yet magical atmosphere for your festivities.
A geometrically designed Christmas tree
For a tree that reflects Art Deco elegance, opt for angular ornaments such as diamonds and triangles. Choose metallic finishes (gold, silver or copper), and sprinkle your tree with sleek LED lights. Incorporate natural elements, such as gilded or hand-painted branches, for a personalized result. Finally, top it all off with a geometric star emblematic of this style.
To add texture and depth, consider incorporating metallic fabric garlands or glittering beads carefully tied around the branches. This will give your tree a spectacular, eye-catching look.
A festive and elegant table
Take inspiration from Art Deco to enhance your Christmas
table. Choose
tablecloths and runners in sumptuous fabrics like velvet or satin. Choose decorative crockery with gold or black details, and use
candles in geometric candle holders. Add brass or pearl napkin rings to complete the luxurious
ambience. As a table centerpiece, an arrangement of textured
branches embellished with
garlands of light will look great.
For even more refinement, you can introduce plates with graphic black-and-white patterns, accompanied by cut crystal glasses for impeccable decor. Don't forget small accessories such as place cards with an Art Deco design, or small touches of gold to surprise your guests.
Art Deco accessories to enhance your home
Accessories are essential to perfect your Art Deco decor. Hang a gilded mirror or a piece of geometric artwork on your walls. Sprinkle your home with velvet or metallic cushions. Don't forget green plants, such as ferns or monstera, to echo the movement's vegetal aesthetic. Details count: fine candlesticks, minimalist string lights and gilded picture frames will elevate your interior to the rank of timeless chic.
For an even warmer ambience, place scented candles in gold or silver tones on mantels or consoles. Small objects such as marble or brass sculptures will complete the look, while respecting the retro-modern aesthetic of the Art Deco movement.
