These trending picks were chosen by VERANDA's editors for Style Report.
In 2024, we’re letting the Art Deco take center stage. Since its rise to popularity with the International Exposition of Modern Decorative & Industrial Art in 1925, few design movements have felt as original, indulgent or glamorous as Art Deco. With lush materials like lacquer, marble, brass and shagreen, dazzling jewel tones and sumptuous silks, this opulent moment in design remains one that captures our fancy as well as the eyes of many of our favorite designers.
In recent markets, our style team has noticed an influx in Art Deco-influenced designs making an appearance in everything from geometric wallpapers to resplendent rugs to light fixtures to barware. The industrial shapes and stately look set an admittedly swanky scene that no one can get enough of.
It’s hard to reason why this century-old trend is back, but we aren’t complaining. Instead, we’re celebrating the resurgence of an aesthetic that feels boundless and ever evolving with the times. Looking back to the twentieth century, the beginnings of Art Deco can actually be traced back to pre-World War I. However, after the war, the ramblings became more mainstream and deeply intertwined with the partying, over-served scene of Parisian nightlife. The flappers with their bobs and baubles almost blended in with the ornate wall coverings and gilded frames of the spaces they inhabited.
Now it’s our turn to bring back the glamor with either subtle or grandiose nods to an era that’s long over, but never forgotten.
The pearlescent nature of this pair of decanters perfectly lends itself to a pretty tabletop display. The dazzling luster of the smoky cut glass perfectly complements the sculptural stoppers.
Buying art—and filling your home with it—was an important aspect of living in the 1920s. The growing Abstract Expressionist movement, another artistic reaction to the First World War, would occasionally make its way into the Art Deco universe.
Raise a glass to the indulgence of Art Deco with these coupes from Designer Sophie Lou Jacobsen. The dainty details of the scalloped edges makes this coupe the perfect piece to jazz up your bar cart.
The stark contrast of feminine curves with a more masculine, geometric base makes this small objet d'art a centerpiece worthy of acknowledgement. We love the crisp white paired with brass as well.
For those on the hunt for a true statement piece, look no further. The starburst design with the lush gold detailing makes this credenza the show-stopper for your dining room, entryway or other living space.
Dreamed up in collaboration with Maison Leleu, the iconic French design house continues the legacy of Art Deco master Jules Leleu. This stunning Jacquard fabric is woven with a linen thread in its factory near Lyon. Its tonal color-blocking—contrasting a bright indigo with an elegant deep shade of black—delivers an ultra-modern take on this unmistakable Deco motif.

This low-slung and curvy silhouette, designed by Oitoemponto for the Invisible Collection and covered in Dedar's Tiger Mountain fabric, feels like an updated take on an Art Deco bergère or barrel-backed chair. The black lacquer frame adds extra polish.
Made of porcelain with a hand-painted gold fillet, Haviland's Art Deco dinner plate perfects the Deco palette by pairing black, white and gold—a winning formula, particularly for a glamorous table.
Deco scallops take a dramatic turn in this Fromental wallcovering, which elongates the popular motif from the period and renders them in color-blocked pairings framed in metallic edging. The wallcovering's sumptuous velvety texture adds richness.
Designed by British furniture brand Bethan Gray for EJ Victor and featuring brass inlayed scallop accents on the charcoal wood doors, this cabinet takes clear cues from the original Art Deco era with its black and gold palette. Use it as a bar for the ultimate invocation of the roaring '20s.
