What Is Art Deco Design?
Art Deco is a style of design from the early part of the 20th century that still remains a popular decor trend in homes of today.
Art Deco is short for art decoratifs, it first appeared in 1920s Paris. Sumptuous and elegant, it marked the birth of a new optimism after the first world war.
Art deco style is best described as a mosaic of style rather than one single style. Unified by a desire to embrace modernity, glamour and elegance whilst emphasising functionality and bold new ideas.
Art Deco style is characterised by rich, vibrant colour with liberal use of gold. Straight, hard edges and smooth lines, and sleek exaggerated curves and bold geometrical shapes are all synonymous with this design style.
It came to an end with the beginning of the first world war which issued a new attitude to design, characterised by strict functionality.

There are many defining characteristics of Art Deco design that can help us to choose the right decor accessories, to the interior hardware details.
When it comes to Art Deco door knobs there are a couple of things to look for and that’s the finish, and the style.
Art Deco Door Knobs Finishes
The finishes you choose are imperative to creating the glamour that this decor trend demands.
Polished chrome is one of the most distinguishing finishes of this era, the highly reflective finish provides gravitas and glamour.
Whilst polished & antique brass and matt bronze are also highly decorative finishes that are perfect for Art Deco door knobs.
The finish you choose for your Art Deco interior should reflect other metal finishes throughout your interior.
It’s best to use the same metal finish throughout for a cohesive style, but metals can be mixed, as long as there is one dominant finish throughout your home.
Art Deco Door Knobs Styles
A defining characteristic of the Art Deco period was sharp angles, and clean lines. Round door knobs are a highly traditional style, but this rounded style was not one seen within the Art Deco era.
Art Deco door knobs and cabinet knobs feature smooth lines, pyramid and stepped shapes are all reminiscent of this period.
