Kitsch Americana meets Art Deco luxe
Put some fizz into your interior with this modern retro design story.
Borrowing from a melting pot of style influences, this indulgent look is defined by curvaceous seating, plush textiles and high shine metallics. Bold geometrics, lightning flashes and sunburst shapes are lifted straight out of the dynamic art deco design period, where jazz was taking the world by storm, bringing with it a new direction for pattern and print. Sprinkle some sugary pastels into this refined mix and the whole look takes on a playful and irreverent feel.
There’s more than a hint of fifties Hollywood glamour to this look, with elegant fan shapes and luxurious low seating that’s perfect for lounging. Textiles are layered for a decadent feel, with full length curtains spilling into the space. Chalky pastel hues create a sense of cool and calm, allowing punchy shades of lemon and raspberry to pop and zing. Statuesque, leafy palms enhance the LA living feel, while accessories in luxe marble and gold rub along happily with kitsch Americana knick-knacks and quirky flea market finds.

For a refined take on this modern retro story, keep the stronger shades to a minimum and dial up the luxe elements within the room. In this light living room, the sculpted seating, cool marble console and glass-topped coffee table, all teeter on elegant hairpin legs, with a bold chevron print rug to ground the delicate elements. The geometric print is echoed in a sleek Roller blind, which brings a hint of warmth and subtle pattern into the space.
By day Miami is all about the elegant facades of Art Deco buildings, but as night draws in, bright neon lights and hot sunset shades take over for a change of pace and mood. Tap into this day-into-night feel with heat haze hues, tropical florals and deep ocean blues. Rosy pink Venetian blinds give this space an end-of-day glow that’s mirrored in the rippling stripes of the rug.
