What is an Art Deco Rug And How To Style It?

Art deco rug is inspired by the glamour and luxury of 1920s Europe and is defined by pieces with symmetrical designs in exuberant shapes. Having in the decoration of your space an Art Deco rug means, besides offering glamour and good finishing to your interior design project, a piece of art. The style, which became popular in America and Europe during the 1920s and 1930s, completely changed the perception of art (until then art nouveau and minimalist) and influenced areas such as cinema, fashion, architecture and design. Art Deco – the abbreviation for the French term “Arts Décoratifs” – also refers to other design elements and artistic movements, such as neoclassicism, modernism, and cubism. The main change that the new aesthetic brought was, besides being glamorous, to emphasize modernity and machines while being considered elegant and functional. With the decline of the style’s popularization in the 1950s and the rise of Mid-Century Modern, the Art Deco style is now experiencing a resurgence of the essence of its period pieces but adapted to new reproductions. Thus, the combination of periods and styles further highlights the vintage character of the pieces and the bold statement that Art Deco demands. What is an Art Deco Rug?
