Art Moderne interior design was loosely inspired by a combination of Art Deco motifs and Minimalist themes. While it heavily utilizes the Art Deco take on geometric patterns and rigid lines, it does incorporate a few more natural shapes and ergonomic features. If Art Deco has its roots in France, Art Moderne found its home in the United States.
Idealist and streamlined, the Art Moderne style seamlessly blends the opulence of Art Deco with the structure of Minimalism. With the addition of natural textures and neutral hues, you get a balanced interior that brings together retro styles with a modern twist. If you’re wondering what pieces fit best into your living room, dining room, office, or bedroom, read on here for our favorite Art Moderne inspired interior designs.
