Art Deco Movement and
Tips on a Paint Color Scheme
The Art Deco Movement began in France as a reaction to the modern influences of the 1920s and 1930s. With its edge and flamboyant appeal, it quickly became a favorite in the US marketplace.The history of architecture, as well as furniture, clothing, and jewelry, was affected by this style. The movement was a meeting of creativity and industry. It took its cues from the ocean liners and industrial machinery of that period. Art Deco (known also as 'Style Moderne') still provides easy, fun design for our fast-paced modern society. This style can be created easily in any room. You don't have always to seek out expensive authentic elements. There are many available reproductions on the market. You can also find everything "Art Deco" at affordable prices in flea markets and garage sales This vibrant style uses bright colors, bold prints, and geometric patterns. Bright orange, pulsating pink, and glowing green are three sizzling shades. Even if you aren't a huge fan of vibrant color, it is very manageable in small doses. Bring in some bright colors in rugs, throws, or cushions. Benjamin Moore's 'Bud Green' is a bold green wall paint. Cream colors were, however, often used for walls in this style. Black and white checkered tiles provided an element of bold contrast. The bright decor came from the accents throughout the room. You can use Sherwin-Williams colors to achieve a perfect paint color scheme for this style. Sherwin Williams 'Blue Sky' gives a burst of bright blue to your walls. The Art Deco movement is also noted as the "Jazz Style." The 1920s saw the beginning tones of the jazz sound. Jazz music thrived and (except for a slowdown in the 1950s) so did this glamorous decor. So, why not jive on and jazz up your rooms! If you need help with this design style,
