Clean and geometric look is timeless, and if you haven't noticed, Art Deco elements are very popular among interior designers. You can spot it almost everywhere.

Use elements of this style to create timeless elegancy:
* declutter. Central element of Art Deco is a minimalist, uncluttered look
* use streamlined furniture, geometric patterns and sweeped curves, wrought iron or other metals
* use rich red, black or any dark lacquered wood, table trays and serving platters. patterned wood inlays and sleek, glossy finishes
* upholster furniture in bright solid colour fabric, or geometric patterned fabrics for cushions or chairs. peacock feather and animal prints for accent pieces
* colour palette doesn't have that big role as the right chosen furniture. black,white,browns and tans with use of green as the most popular Art Deco colour choice. walls are painted in pastel to create the perfect background for furniture and accessories
* use curvaceous accessories like vases and sculptures
* posters were promoted by Art Deco, used for the first time as interior decoration
* inject a stylized sunburst shape...nowdays often as a decorative mirror
