Modern design ideas for Art Deco houses
We look at how to utilise the uniqueness of Art Deco style in a modern way.
AI summary
Modernising a classic Art Deco home involves blending its unique 1930s character with contemporary living standards. Incorporate signature features like arches, polished plaster walls, and reeded glass into your renovation.
While preserving the iconic facade, update outdated floor plans to create open-plan living and better indoor/outdoor flow. For colour, draw inspiration from Napier's pastels and jewel tones. Essential upgrades include modern insulation, heating, and double-glazing to ensure the home is warm and energy-efficient.
