Art Deco Tiles For Your Stylish Bathroom

The Art Deco style became popular after its unveiling in the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris, France. It featured strong geometric lines, lavishly carved or inlaid furniture and used eclectic materials like marble, glass and brass.

Above is a fine example of how art deco tiles are integrated in a modern bathroom setting. For starters, the owner chose a stained glass, sunrise Art Deco door for the bathroom. Classic metro tiles are ideal because they work so well as a base and can be used to create numerous looks. Partner them with bordered Art Deco tiles to add the glamour of the jazz age in the bathroom.

Coloured bathroom's in mint green and yellow were a hit concept during the Art Deco era. Bright and lively colours symbolized the economic prosperity of the period between the 1920s and 1930s.

Symmetry is one of the key components of Art Deco style - so go for twin basins, identical mirrors or find a fan tailed mirror. A classic, fantailed, bevelle-dedged mirror epitomises the jazz age and instantly adds a recognisable touch of The Great Gatsby glamour to the bathroom arrangement. Look for geometric or stepped design wall sconces which can be placed on both sides of a fantailed mirror.
