The Art Deco era celebrated the dynamic aspects of the machine age and was often about making a big impact. It incorporated the strong usage of vivid decorative elements, geometric shapes and colours suggestive of hard-edged modernity.
A great way to infuse Art Deco charm into a space is through period inspired tiles paired with contemporary styling.

Angular motifs such as the chevron and zig zag were popular in the art deco era and can still be incorporated today.
Bold colours like black, white and grey reflect the luxurious character of the period and can be paired back with softer greens and neutral colours.
