Art Deco patterns are a hot trend in home decor right now, celebrated for their opulent, symmetrical repeat patterns and crowd-pleasing appeal. A popular choice for heritage homes, like this condo in Chicago’s iconic Palmolive Building, built in 1929, make Art Deco pattern your go-to for introducing authenticity and elegance.
‘Here, we wanted to acknowledge the history of the building in our client's Powder Room, but keep it updated,’ recalls Laura Tribbett, principal and founder of Outline Interiors. ‘It's all about mixing a classic pattern with a more modern form to create that fresh look. The modern sconce, the bold charcoal paneling, and the transitional sink stand work well together to create something special.’
The joy of a timeless pattern from the Art Deco period is how it can be reinvented. ‘Take an Art Deco pattern, but give it a modern color palette, like this goldenrod and charcoal, and you've created something totally new,’ says Laura.
