Pairing modern pieces with art deco decor can help add sophistication to any room.
Mix In Prints
A massive modern trend that we are seeing makes its comeback are prints, especially animal prints being incorporated into the decor. That out there trend may not be for you, but mixing in other patterns that feature geometric shapes can bring life to a room, especially if you are going for the monochromatic look that most homes are featuring today.
Accents

Art deco mirrors make great additions to your living space, while mixing and matching art deco furniture can add a polished flair to the room.

Today’s modern technology has given us damage-free wallpaper that you can add to virtually any wall with no damage whatsoever. This fantastic new wallpaper can give you beautiful art deco style accent walls and all without breaking the bank.
Metallics
Many art designers in the ’20s and ’30s were largely into metallic pops in their work. According to John Linden, the lead interior and furniture designer at MirrorCoop, “Designers of that period were excited about having access to mass-produced metallics, so we see a lot of reflective materials in their work.”
Most importantly, when it comes to decorating your space, have fun with it. Your decor is an outward expression of your personality. Your space should make you feel comfortable and happy, so decorate with pieces that ultimately make you happiest.
