Art Deco Glam
The excess of the 1920s is back in the form of big Gatsby style, a direct contrast to the minimalism of recent years. Kropovinsky says Art Deco Glam is characterized by dramatic geometric patterns, vivid colors and glamorous luxury.
Metallics, bold palettes, foil wallpapers, intricate designs, glossy paint finishes: Art Deco isn’t afraid of anything.
Pros
- Kropovinsky calls it a “smart and articulated” style.
- A fresh perspective of maximalism after so many years of quiet.
- A small bathroom is an easy place to do overboard glam without getting tired of it.
Cons
- It’s also easy to go overboard.
- Finishes can be fragile and a pain to clean.
- Rein in your options and focus on a few elements or risk an overwhelming tiny space.
