Art Deco and Venetian Blinds
Art deco design has a glamorous appeal that leaves no one behind. This innovative mix of traditional and modern, as well as the use of extravagant decorative elements and materials, brings back memories of the Roaring 20s, a rise of industrialism, social movements in Paris, and the growing need for people to forget about the destruction and lack of essential survival means during World War I. It is not clear if Venetian blinds can be integrated into an art deco design.
To answer this question, first, we’ll explain the basic principles of the decorating style, including the color palette, furniture selections, and decorative elements. Next, we’ll explore how Venetians can be incorporated into art deco decor. Humanity’s growing desire to live a better and more comfortable life was reflected in how they decorated their homes. This included smooth lines, geometrical shapes and modern elements inspired by Industrialism, as well as expensive furniture and fabrics.
Materials
A lot of chrome, lacquered wood (for shiny effects), bronze, aluminum, steel, and stained glasses are used. Fabrics used as curtains, pillows, and upholstery are all trendy. Even if they’re cheap, expensive fabrics should look good. Avoid floral patterns and instead, use geometrical shapes and bold colors. You should include essential items such as large furniture, bronze and chrome-colored lighting (chandeliers or Tiffany lamps, wall lights, wall sconces), large, wrought iron mirrors, and other oversized pieces.
Colors
The color palette includes black, as well as other colors like white, chrome, grey and blue. Some shades of brown can also be used to soften the decor and open it up. For example, white blinds are an excellent choice for window treatments in homes where there is a mix of black and other white elements, such as white walls, floor tiles, and black and white carpets with geometrical patterns. This decor will look more alive and avoid any resemblance with the black and white films.
Wood blinds in different shades of brown are beneficial for adding warmth to your environment. Venetian blinds in dark brown would be a great contrast to white walls and floors. However, the color of your furniture will remain brown. Your light brown blinds can be enhanced by adding wood panels to the walls or covering them in interestingly patterned wallpapers. This combination would look great in a home with a white marble floor and lacquered wood furniture that is upholstered with cream, tan or leather velour.
Venetian blinds can be paired with art deco designs because of their straight-lined slats and design.
