Art Deco Inspired Interiors

Art Deco style has had a major resurgence almost 100 years after it first came on the scene, as the design world embraces this sleek, graphic and geometric style thanks to the immanent debut of Baz Luhrmann's Gatsby movie. 

We are seeing touches of deco in fashion, hints of it in typography and pinches of it in interiors, and I [Amanda] couldn't be happier. Deco is one of my favourite styles and having so much reference to it around at the moment is making me smile.

Perhaps you love the style too and want to know ways in which you can combine it with contemporary interior design. Well, we have selected a few examples of spaces we feel combine the then and the now very well.

Art Deco style is moody and glamourous. It took its inspiration from the machines of the day; ocean liners, trains, aeroplanes, cars and their chrome finishes, speedy lines and geometric forms. It was a time of opulence and being showy with mirror and velvet and yet could be quite pared back and minimal too. It is a style that evokes emotion and creates amazing spaces to envelope yourself in!

Introducing Amanda

Hi there! My name is Amanda and I am the newest member of the Wallstudio team! Janette has brought me on board to take care of the social media side of things for Wallstudio. That means I'll be on Facebook and Twitter and will be blogging here on the Wallstudio blog! I have been working behind the scenes for a couple of months now, and thought it was time I introduced myself!

Janette and I actually went to the same primary school and our Mothers worked together when we were younger. We reconnected in recent years when we both attended an ABCD Meet-up! It's such a small world!

I have studied a variety of areas of design including interior design, jewellery design, textile design and more and am a qualified Graphic Designer. I have been blogging since 2009 in various forms in the areas of design, lifestyle and wedding. Just 2 days ago a relaunched my own design and lifestyle blog Kaleidoscope which is the place for creative inspiration, DIY tutorials and exploring the many facets of design. I'd love you to stop by! I love social media, especially Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest. You can follow me on most social media as @AmandaFuller if you are interested.

My being a member of the Wallstudio teams means that Janette has more time to be creative and run her business, while I take care of connecting her brand to all our lovely customers.

Feel free to say hello, and if there is anything you feel we can be doing better with our social media, please feel free to leave your suggestions!

Don't forget you can find Wallstudio in the following place: Twitter | Facebook | Instagram | Pinterest and of course keep coming back to the blog for your Interior Design inspiration!
