ART DECO, MID-CENTURY, OR MODERN CLASSIC? FIND THE RIGHT STYLE FOR YOUR LIVING SANCTUARY

A living space is more than just four walls — it’s a personal sanctuary, a reflection of your personality, lifestyle, taste, spirit, and story. But with so many interior design styles to choose from, how do you find the one that truly speaks to you?

Let’s explore three timeless aesthetics — Art Deco, Mid-Century, and Modern Classic — and help you discover which one can transform your home into a haven on Earth.

ART DECO: ALLURE WITH AN EDGE

Bold, dramatic, and dripping in elegance, Art Deco is a style that doesn't whisper — it manifests and roars. Originating in the 1920s, it combines geometric patterns, luxurious materials, and a flair for the extravagant. 

If you gravitate toward gold accents, marble finishes, and cinematic drama, this is your match.

Brand to explore: Castro Lighting – Known for its opulent handcrafted lighting creations, Castro elevates Art Deco into an art form. Their stunning furniture pieces, equally luxurious and meticulously crafted, embody the same timeless elegance and bold design, making every item a statement piece in any interior. 

The Marie Teacart, for example, turns any room into a luxurious experience. Consider furniture not just as pieces to fill a space, but as sculptural expressions of style.

Brand to consider: Jonathan Adler – Known for its bold use of colour and geometric patterns, Jonathan Adler brings a playful yet sophisticated twist to Art Deco. 

The Delphine Credenza with its antiqued mirror panels, polished brass base, and quatrefoil handles evoke the glamour and symmetry characteristic of the Art Deco era. The robin's egg blue interior adds a touch of color, enhancing its luxurious appeal.

MID-CENTURY: SIMPLICITY WITH SOUL

Mid-Century Modern is all about clean lines, functional forms, and a strong connection to nature. It’s the perfect balance of minimalism and warmth.

Think teak woods, organic shapes, and furniture that invites you to sit and stay a while.

Brand to consider: Knoll – Known for their timeless pieces, Knoll exemplifies Mid-Century Modern with understated sophistication.

The Platner Collection, for example, blends graceful lines with sculptural elements, offering a mix of steel and glass that creates both beauty and utility. Knoll’s designs continue to epitomize the elegance and function that define the Mid-Century aesthetic.

Brand to consider: Herman Miller – Its iconic design, like the Luva Modular Sofa, is more than just furniture — it is visually irresistible yet relaxing and cozy, with a soft, billowy form grounded by natural textiles and organic lines.

Perfect for those who love understated beauty, comfort, and timeless design.

MODERN CLASSIC: ELEGANCE REIMAGINED

Marrying the grace of traditional design with the restraint of modern aesthetics, Modern Classic is ideal for those who appreciate a sense of order, symmetry, and subtle luxury. It’s about layering timeless elements without clutter.

Brand to consider: A standout piece from Gabriel Scott that embodies the Modern Classic Style is the Luna Chandelier, in Satin Bronze for instance. This fixture exemplifies the brand's commitment to timeless design with a contemporary twist.

Which style is your soul aligned with?

Your home should feel like you. Whether you're drawn to Art Deco's glamour, Mid-Century's earthiness, or the refined poise of Modern Classic, there’s a world of design waiting for you. Start with one statement piece — a lamp, a chair, a mirror — and let it guide the rest.
