Creating an Art Deco Living Room is as easy as allowing your imagination to carry you back to an old Hollywood movie.

Modern and classic lines blended with eclectic pieces of furniture and art define the Art Deco style living room decor. Your Art Deco style living room can be achieved by mixing streamlined furniture with geometric patterns and muted walls with splashes of shocking color. Art Deco is all about finding that balance between classic and modern design and making it your own in a way that celebrates both styles.

Arrange a sectional sofa in your Art Deco Living Room.

It not only provides an area for conversation but also represents modern comfort. Place it against the backdrop of subdued wall tones, such as gray, ecru or pale green, so that the sofa is the star of the room. Choose a sofa in a bold, brash color or sprinkle it with throw pillows featuring geometric shapes.

The walls of a living room with art deco decor should never be crowded. Choose one or two unusual pieces of art that really pop against the muted background and work with the other splashes of color that you have placed in the room. A simple black shelf with three bowling pins painted bright red, an old stop light or a colorful painting of a 1920s-era woman are good examples of the kind of art that adds character to an Art Deco living room.
