From ‘90s low-rise jeans to ultra-thin Y2k sunglasses, Gen Z has brought back a number of trends from decades past. And now, they’ve revived a 100-year-old interior design style: Art Deco. In the 2025 Pinterest Autumn Trend Report, the company revealed that Gen Z searchers were curious about “Art Deco interior 1920s vintage,” “new Art Deco,” “1980s Art Deco,” and more. Before trying it out in my own home, I thought I’d reach out to the experts.
“Gen Z’s crush on Art Deco makes sense—it’s bold, symmetrical, and never afraid of the spotlight,” says Rachel Brown, founder and principal designer at RB Interiors. “Art Deco is the original quiet luxury with confidence—geometry, glamour, and drama in one package.”
Below, Brown, Ashley Clark of Skout Interior Design, and Molly O’Neil of Molly O Interiors share their favorite Art Deco finds (some of which you can add to your cart!).
Off-the-Wall Wallpaper

Of all the decor items on this list, wallpaper was the most popular option among our experts. Each of them shared the ones they love most:
“In my work, Art Deco influences show up in stepped fireplaces, bold brass lighting, and even a cheeky powder bath wrapped in fan-pattern wallpaper,” Brown says, calling out this wallpaper from Spoonflower (pictured above). “These details whisper elegance but with enough confidence to be heard across the room—and that’s what makes Deco timeless.”
For a more contemporary coastal and modern transitional take on the trend, Clark and her team created an accent wall with Kelly Wearstler Crescent Wallpaper (pictured below).

“We love this fresh interpretation of Art Deco because it embraces bold curves, sculptural metallics, and saturated jewel tones in a way that feels modern and approachable,” she says. “It’s a glamorous nod to Deco style, reimagined for the way our client lives today!”

For her top picks, O’Neil started by highlighting this luxury lotus design (pictured above) from Farrow & Ball. “With a nod to the Regency style seen in the Art Deco design, it is equal parts decadent and modern,” she says. “The graphic take on a lotus flower is my favorite and would look great in a guest bathroom where you want to pack a punch or in a dining room when you want to create a mood for people to celebrate.”

As an alternative, O’Neil also called out another style from Laura Ashley, which you can snag at Home Depot.
“If bold and sweeping Art Deco prints aren’t your thing, but you still love the look of repeating patterns and geometric designs, this is a great option for those seeking a subtle all-over print,” she says. “It has just enough shimmer to make any room feel like a jewel box, thanks to the metallics that defined much of the Art Deco era.”
Unexpected Ceiling Decor

Incorporate Art Deco from floor to ceiling with a linear, repeating pattern overhead. “It channels Deco’s obsession with geometry and rhythm,” Brown says. For a similar look to the living room shown, Brown suggests these tiles from Above View and this chandelier from Progressive Lighting.
Nature-Inspired Furniture and Decor

The living room Brown designed also featured a side table made of burlwood. Brown says it was “a beloved material in Deco for its rich and luxe patterning,” and recommends this side table by Villa & House.
There are other notes we can take from nature that lean more literal, such as these cranes from one of O’Neil’s go-to stores, Gumps San Francisco. Made with recycled aluminum and hand-painted with a verdigris patina, they’re instant conversation-starters.
“The Foraging Cranes are a fun and unexpected way to add Art Deco flair,” she says. “With Art Deco’s love of nature and luxury, the patina and details make these cranes interesting and glamorous.”
Jewel-Toned Gems

Brown picked up this vintage mirror made with green glass enamel from Camelback Antiques in Phoenix, Arizona. “From my antique mirror find to modern fireplaces with Deco-inspired geometry, it’s proof the style is forever,” she says.
Metallic Moments

Perhaps the most approachable ode to Art Deco? A pop of metallic. Clark brought in two of Arteriors’ Meadow Coffee Tables for a living room, and Brown set her sights on this brass drum ceiling fixture.
