A blend of design elements comes into play in an Art Deco bedroom. It's important to keep an err of opulence to the room, but a bedroom also needs to feel cozy and warm, so choose an upholstered headboard with a curved profile. 'Curves in bed shape design are big right now, and an easy way to kick off art deco style in a bedroom,' says Eddie Maestri, principal architect and creative director at Maestri Studio.
As well as the cozy elements, adding warmth and interest to the walls will add an aesthetic detail, while also contributing to a cocooning feel around the bed. 'Add a bedroom accent wall to bring in some architectural texture and interest, simple streamlined bedding, and some sculptural lighting elements. Our Hill House primary bedroom is a good example,' adds Eddie.

Geometric designs are core to Art Deco design, and a statement headboard is an eye-catching way to introduce it. 'Transform a bedroom with Art Deco flair by selecting a statement headboard with geometric patterns or luxe velvet upholstery,' recommends Juliette Thomas, director at Juliettes Interiors.
In this scheme, the headboard is complimented by other luxurious furniture and decor items, adding a sense of decadence to the scheme. 'Introduce mirrored nightstands and glamorous lighting fixtures for a touch of elegance. Incorporate rich textiles like silk or satin for bedding and curtains, and adorn with metallic accents and bold, symmetrical artwork,' adds Juliette.

Bedroom lighting plays a big part in any scheme. To lean into Art Deco style, introduce fixtures that feel vintage, glamorous, or with geometric forms to embrace the designs of the era.
'One way we like to introduce Art Deco style into a bedroom scheme is by the addition of light fixtures reminiscent of Art Deco style,' says Jessica Lagrange, of Jessica Lagrange Interiors. 'We like to blend this style with the addition of contemporary forms and elements that mix well Art Deco style features. We highlight this blend by the mix of new and contemporary with vintage pieces,' she adds.
'We suggest choosing lighting fixtures that make a statement, such as chandeliers or wall sconces with Art Deco-inspired motifs like geometric shapes, polished metals and frosted glass shades,' suggests Guillaume Coutheillas, founder and creative director of frenchCALIFORNIA.

'For an Art Deco bedroom, you want a timeless, sophisticated design for rest and relaxation. Like many bedrooms, your bed can be the feature of the room with a geometric headboard. This can be upholstered in a luxurious, emerald or navy velvet,' says Saffron Harper-Ward, interior designer at Knight Frank Interiors.
'Look for bedside tables with ornate details like mirrored surfaces and intricate patterns and add statement lighting fixtures, such as a sculptural chandelier or geometric bedside lamps for a touch of glamour and warmth. For smaller Art Deco touches, you can add decorative items like clocks, vases or sculptures that echo the art deco emphasis on modernity and elegance,' she adds.

Decorating with jewel tones adds a luxurious touch to an Art Deco scheme – bedrooms are the perfect space for adding darker hues as they create a cozier atmosphere. 'For an Art Deco bedroom, choose a color scheme that includes rich, jewel tones such as emerald green, sapphire blue, ruby red, or deep purple. These colors add a sense of luxury and drama to the bedroom that evoke the Art Deco glamor,' says Guillaume Coutheillas.
Deep reds, moody blues and emerald green tones all lean into the Art Deco aesthetic and add a richness to a scheme. 'Look to statement-making hues, like Wenge AF-180, Amazon Green 2136-60 and Onyx 2133-10, to bring an elegant dose of drama to your bedroom. These enveloping hues make for a cozy but sophisticated sanctuary, perfect for starting and ending your day,' suggests Arianna Barone, color marketing manager at Benjamin Moore.
Cohesion between coziness and luxury are integral to an Art Deco bedroom scheme. A jewel-toned color palette, luxurious velvet upholstery and statement headboards are key to designing a space that captures the essence of Art Deco style. Opt for subtle gold additions and introduce geometric patterns that aren't overwhelming – a bedroom should be calming and relaxing, so keep this in mind when decorating your space.
