Ah, Art Deco—a symphony of glitz, glamour, and geometric genius! Stepping into a well-done Art Deco living room is like walking into a jazz-infused time capsule.
And who better to critique such spaces than Jay Gatsby himself?
Here are 10 living rooms that scream Roaring Twenties, with a side of Gatsby’s spirited commentary.
1. The Chrome Throne Room

This living room dazzles with metallic accents galore. Chrome coffee tables, silver-striped wallpaper, and a chandelier that looks like it moonlights as a disco ball.
The couch? A sleek velvet number that practically purrs!
Gatsby says: “A room like this deserves its own spotlight. But tell me, old sport, where does one stash their secret stash of champagne? Asking for a friend, of course.”
2. The Golden Ratio Getaway

Gold, gold everywhere! This Art Deco paradise features gilded picture frames, golden chevron patterns on the rug, and a sunburst mirror that could double as a star in a Broadway revue!
Gatsby says: “Ah, gold—the currency of dreams and decadence. A room like this practically whispers, ‘You’ve made it.’ But where’s the champagne fountain? Priorities, old sport!”
3. Geometric Jungle

Think earthy green tones and tropical flair, but make it symmetrical. A wallpaper of palm leaves meets sharp, angular furniture, creating a vibe that’s part Great Gatsby, part Great Escape!
Gatsby says: “I’d throw a party here, but the only jungle I’d want is a crowd on the dance floor. This room feels wild yet refined, like a tiger in a tuxedo.”
4. The Black-and-White Ballroom

This living room is a monochromatic masterpiece. Black furniture contrasts against crisp white walls, while a bold checkered floor makes it impossible not to Charleston your way across the room.
Gatsby says: “This room is as sharp as a tailored tuxedo. But let’s hope the floors can handle the rhythm of a good Foxtrot—you wouldn’t want to scuff the shine, old sport.”
5. The Peacock’s Perch

Rich jewel tones dominate this vibrant space. Sapphire blue armchairs, emerald green curtains, and gold-framed art create a lush, opulent vibe.
A peacock feather vase centerpiece ties it all together!
Gatsby says: “I do appreciate a room that’s not afraid to flaunt its feathers. Why settle for subtle when you can make an entrance every time you walk in?”
6. The Glass Menagerie

Mirrors and glass take center stage in this living room, with a mirrored coffee table, geometric glass sculptures, and a bar cart that glistens like it’s been dipped in diamonds!
Gatsby says: “This room reflects its beauty everywhere you look. But remember, old sport, mirrors double everything—including your mistakes at last night’s party.”
7. The Velvet Vortex

Sumptuous, jewel-toned velvet dominates this moody retreat. The sectional couch is deep purple, the armchairs are rich ruby red, and even the drapery looks like it might moonlight as a magician’s cape.
Gatsby says: “Velvet—soft as a whisper and as luxurious as a weekend in Paris. But beware, old sport, it’s no place for cheap cigars or careless guests.”
8. The Deco Den of Drama

A stark black ceiling paired with white marble flooring sets the stage for dramatic contrasts. Add gold accents and a splash of crimson, and you’ve got a space worthy of a silent film star!
Gatsby says: “This room is ready for its close-up. All it needs is a grand piano—and perhaps a singer to serenade a few lucky guests.”
9. The Aqua Oasis

This room combines shades of teal, turquoise, and aquamarine for a cool, refreshing take on Art Deco. Accents include scalloped patterns, oceanic artwork, and glass baubles that mimic water droplets.
Gatsby says: “Ah, the sea! This room captures its calm and allure, but don’t forget, old sport, even the smoothest waters can hide hidden depths.”
10. The Gatsby Gallery

This Art Deco living room is a shrine to the era itself. Framed black-and-white photographs of 1920s icons and a bar stocked with absinthe make it feel like a chapter straight out of Fitzgerald’s book.
Gatsby says: “Now this, old sport, is a room I’d gladly claim as my own. A place where every object tells a story, and every cocktail is a masterpiece.”
