The 1920s was a decade defined by glamour and luxury, and was undeniably the birth of modern culture and interior design. Modernism, Bauhaus and Art Deco styles began to dominate design in all aspects, where geometric shapes, rich color schemes, luxurious fabrics, and stylized imagery soared in popularity. These diversified design philosophies added ideas and approaches that achieved interior design styles like never before.
Art Deco designers experimented with shapely contours and bold colors. The discovery of Pharaoh Tutankhamun’s Egyptian tomb in 1922 led to a new fascination in exotic worlds, and they combined motifs from ancient civilizations with the prismatic forms of cubist art. Art Deco inspired 1920s interior design that celebrated ornament and conveyed wealth and optimism.
