Art Deco is a popular design style from the 1920s and 1930s that is distinguished by sleek, bold and angular geometric shapes, as well as strong colours. Although it lost its popularity after the second world war, Art Deco was revitalized during the sixties and the rise of the consumerist culture. The style itself is so unique and pleasing to the eye, and it would be a shame if it got lost amongst the trends of today. That’s why we’ve put together a list of ways that you can incorporate Art Deco into your modern house! Without further ado, let’s get decorating.

Door Handles

These door handles from Carlisle Brass are guaranteed to add character to any room. This Art Deco Matte Black Lever Latch Furniture on backplate is elegant, robust and will look gorgeous in your modern home. The angular cut at either end and the stepped lines perfectly capture the essence of the 20s, while offering timeless sophistication. This particular handle is also available in lock, Euro, latch and bathroom variations, as well as in multiple colours.

If you’re looking for a door handle, rather than a lever, check out this Art Deco Satin Nickel Knob Furniture on Latch Backplate. This handle never fails to complement traditional, contemporary and modern settings, proving its versatility and charm.

Cupboard Handles

This Art Deco Matt Black Cupboard Knob is very similar to the door handle, but doesn’t have a backplate. If you’re feeling funky, why not alternate between this handle and the Art Deco Satin Nickel Cupboard Knob on your set of drawers? The nickel and black, resembling the classic gold and black Art Deco colour scheme, would be a clear nod of appreciation for the aesthetic. This particular style of handle is also available in Art Deco Polished Chrome Cupboard Knob. Why not use these handles for every cupboard in your house, keeping a consistent theme?

Cabinet Handles

If you’re looking to add some flare to your kitchen cabinets, why not do it the Art Deco way?

The inlay has a wonderful dimple star pattern, uniformly impressed on the front. The Art Deco Matt Black 190mm Cabinet Handle is the epitome of elegance, with its gorgeous matt black finish. It can instantly enhance a dull room while keeping things simple (yet effective).
