Art Deco

What makes an art deco fireplace differ from other fireplaces? Art deco fireplaces are sleek and made with sweeping or curved lines and bright or saturated colours. You can get an art deco fireplace in any colour to match any room of your home, and they come in a number of great materials like stone, brink, wood, and even plastic.

The most classic of art deco fireplaces is one created with brightly coloured ceramic tiles. Tiles usually range in colour from solids like black and white to shades of emerald, purple, blue, and yellow. The tiles can be placed in a mosaic pattern if you’d like to create a picture or design, or you can create an art deco fireplace with a single colour of tile for a stunningly brilliant look. The shape of the fireplace differs for every piece, but usually curved bold lines and edges are used, along with a variety of whimsical decorative elements. If you want a prime example of art deco style, look at the Empire State Building in the United States–it’s point matches closely to the art deco style of the era.

If you don’t want to create your own or choose a 21st century designer’s idea of what art deco fireplaces should look like, you can instead find an originally art deco fireplace and have it restored for use in your own home. Most of these pieces were created in the 1930s, and restoration can be expensive, but is worth the cost. When a professional restoration artist properly handles an art deco piece, it really shines.

Alternatively, you can use a picture of an original piece to create a replica. Many fireplace manufacturers are willing to work with clients to create exactly the right style and colors for their art deco fireplaces. Again, this option may be a bit more expensive than simply purchasing a new fireplace that was created in an art deco style, but the result is a one of a kind piece stylised especially for your living space.

Art deco fireplaces deserve an art deco style room in which to live! You can hire an artist who specialises in art deco style, although most home interior designers are willing to cater to your needs. Remember that the art deco style is all about big, bold designs and colours, whether you’re remodeling the architecture or buying furniture. You can use the colours in your fireplace as accent colours through the room, or take it even farther and work with the colours in your entire home.

Once you know that you want art deco fireplaces in your home, you can choose between a number of other options. For example, some art deco fireplaces work with wood in a tradition manner, while others simply use gas or electric to heat you heat without the real smoke effects of a traditional fireplace. No matter what you want in a fireplace, you should be able to find it with your local restoration artist or fireplace manufacturer.
