Art Deco Lighting

Lighting in Art Deco interiors include ceiling lights, floor lamps, table lamps and wall sconces. Most styles are streamlined in design. Bronze and glass are used extensively incorporating flowers and geometric shapes in the design. Floor lamps include tall torchieres in wrought iron or chrome with hand blown glass shades. Some are also of black wrought iron. Table lamps of bright nickel with white, clear, frosted, or colorful glass shades are common. Wall sconces can be bronze, aluminum, steel, or silver plated base metal with opaque white or colorful glass shades.

Flooring for Art Deco Rooms

Flooring for Art Deco Rooms
Classic white or black marble flooring is typical in an Art Deco interior. Checkered tiles of black and white squares are common. Rugs are placed over the sleek flooring, commonly brown, black or dove gray with serpentine swirls or period geometric flowers adding design.

Colors for Art Deco Interiors

Because Art Deco interiors are minimalist, colors are used sparingly. Most color schemes include black, combining green and black, red and black and white and black. Accents are of chrome and gold. Pale blue or dove grey provides a softening effect.

What is Art Deco?






 When I arrived in Miami, the term art deco was something of a mystery to me. Of course, it had something to do with buildings in bright pastel colors... Miami Vice had taught me that much. But to pinpoint art deco and appreciate its ancient origins took me a little time. The name art deco itself comes from the Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs Industriels et Modernes held in Paris in 1925, which promoted art deco architecture in Europe.
Although art deco looks ultra-modern, it dates back to the days of Egyptian tombs. Specifically, the discovery of King Tut's tomb in the 1920's opened the door to this enticing style. The stark lines, bold colors and zig-zag architectural features were added to objects placed in the tomb to entertain and enlighten the sleeping kings. This style greatly appealed to Americans, who were going through the "roaring 20's" and loved the eclectic look. They saw it as a symbol of decadence and extravagance, qualities their generation embraced. Art, architecture, jewelry and fashion were all heavily influenced by the bold colors and sharp lines of the movement.

So why Miami? It was 1910 when John Collins and Carl Fisher undertook the daunting task of transforming the island now known as Miami Beach from a mangrove swamp to a tourist destination. By the time they were working on the coast, Ocean Drive, the art deco movement was in full swing. Anyone who was anyone wanted to spend their vacation in the high life of art deco surroundings. Voila- Miami Beach was not only born, but was born to be the place to see and be seen! It has enjoyed this popularity since its inception, and is proving to stand the test of time as year after year people come from all over to enjoy this gift of the pharaohs, art deco.

Decoration knowledge of the rules and the underlying assets

Decoration knowledge of the rules and the underlying assets, and there are some basics that need to know to achieve the best decor of the house.










The importance of the color wheel and how to deal with it in a search for Assorted colors

Attention to color is a healthy phenomenon, and the person who loves and follows the coordination of the colors in the home, office and surroundings

Practical or Life in general, is a human being without a doubt has a lot of interest, culture and organization.





And attention to color a natural reflection of high culture are reflected in the attention that reflect the taste of human nature

And psychology.

A lot of people deal with color, but some of them dealing with the impression myself without experience in the

Reading or knowledge Bmahep colors and psychological meanings. Some do not understand what colors are basic or

Secondary colors, or colors, and opposite or contrasting colors are integrated and solidarity, and so on.

We hope to devote one of us a brief portion of his time to know what the colors and their meanings psychological help

For the selection of colors and matching other colors and what colors should not interfere with each

As she said will be discordant, and this metaphor indicates that the color is not complementary or can not it be

One unit. There are two main lines of research on the degree of color or more able to complete harmony with our tastes.



Different colors:

This choice requires boldness and courage of color, including:



1 - complementary colors: Choose two colors opposite in the Department of colors such as green and red, can also add color

Other of these two colors by blended in different proportions







2 - complementary colors fragmented: Here we choose to color the basis for the project, and the neighboring colors for the color and complement such

Choose the red and colors similar fate probably awaits adjacent to the complementary color (green).





3 - Harmony trio: very bold approach requires courage to color more than before, which is to draw a triangle

Equilateral inside the circle to indicate the corners on the project, such as colors (green, orange and violet).







Colors hierarchy (gradient):

But this path does not require courage and boldness of color, as can be dealt with in all parts of the house,

Commensurate with all age groups, and mood, including:

1 - Color contiguous: Here we begin by choosing one color as a basis for the project, and its neighboring color

Such as green and bluish violet bluish If we choose the base is blue and this method gives a nice color-space one

2 - Color unilateral approach: The project is one color and gradually derived colors and close it, by its interaction at the

Mixing of neutral colors (white, gray, Black) with



Important Notes:

A - can deal with the options the first section (different colors) when we do not have the courage to deal with

Original colors circuit by increasing the evacuation of the colors of the project, add the white until his arrival

To the level of courage color.

B - It is recommended that the project be one of the color that dominates the space vacuum, particularly the most colors

Evident.

C - When she sluggishly colors in the path of the color pyramid can you add color inside the vacuum integral

, But in a few colors to activate the vacuum.







To the work of a successful interior design must be employed for certain concepts, including:



Unit:

According to the definition of "unity" in the design it means that all parts of the room (design, furniture,

Outline color and pattern in the tissue and cover the walls) are formatted to make the impact Tne_me interesting aesthetically,

Work effectively and comfortably sync with the rest of the house, various objects in the room should look like in the house

One with each other.









For "unity" does not mean that all the colors and pattern should be similar or strongly co-ordinated,

Or that all furniture must be of the same time or model, but means that the vacuum holds public

A sense of continuity.



For example: the rooms in which you need to reach each other visually impaired need to be "unity", some of the points

Joint bearing eye smoothly from one area to another area, the walls can be painted with the same

Color and floors can be covered with the same type of materials, and windows can be covered with the same treatment

Scale and proportionality in the world of design

In the world of design, scale and proportionality Mtaleghan each other strongly.


Scale is generally an indication of the size of objects, especially if they relate to each other or persons who occupied or empty.

Proportionality is an expression of the relationship of a comparison between part or parts with everyone.







Balance



There are three forms of the balance



1 - symmetric equilibrium:













It is very easy, but it does not inspire the imagination and innovation. And is the balance that makes the space is divided into

Two equal parts and completely identical and there was an error and false passes through to give this impression. This is

Type of design two-edged sword because it is either to give an attractive and comfortable as a result or outcome that would be a comfortable place

Period of time is very simple and user soon feels bored of this place that there is no breaking the routine of the order

Furniture or paintings or other units used.





2 - balance is not uniform:

Is called a balanced and active features that it allows the use of pieces of different sizes and weights in the room

One, as it suggests a broad, and the balance is attractive because it works to create a balance in the place without

Monotony and boredom, this kind of balance depends critically on the visual weight of the piece. And weight

Visual piece depends on several factors: the color, texture, size, raw material made from them.

And is often a balance in color ... By using the strong warm color (red, orange, yellow) small quantity

Balanced with the use of cool colors (blue, green, purple) a large quantity.

And affect the quality and feel of the widget on how to put in place Valqta with a smooth surface to weigh

Less than the optical parts of the surface rough, the type of raw material used is one of the key factors

Articles transparent like glass, very few visual weight when compared to wood, for example, silk, raw materials and

Sato and less visual weight of wool and linen and chair placed a large, satin and wood bounces

Visually smooth with a table of glass.



3 - Balance of radioactive:

Least used, this type depends on the order of pieces on one point and that would be the point

Centre and just imaginary and this is what we're seeing a lot entrances wide and the chairs around the dining table

Tables.

The balance in the design makes the place more attractive, even if we go back in our minds back and tried to retrieve the number of

Times we have entered into the houses or public places did not feel comfortable where we did not find an answer to that feeling or

Most probably, the explanation of the reason is the lack of balance in the place and how many people arrange the pieces in his home

Automatically without recourse to the planning of the design before and this indicates that the tendency to search for types of balance

Is part of human nature to feel comfortable that requires a sense of visual balance

The definition of design and Osasyate

Design is the process of training and innovation, which combine elements from the environment and put them in a specific configuration to give something


Has the function or meaning, and some distinction between the configuration and design that the composition part of the design process because

Interfere with the design of human thought and personal experiences.









Definition of Interior Design:



- Is to create a place to perform functions with minimal effort and this includes floors, walls, ceilings and equipment, as

He knew that he (the art of vacuum processing or space and all dimensions in a way exploit all elements of design on

Some aesthetic help to work inside the building).

- Is a planning and innovation on the basis of data architecture specific output of this planning into existence

Then implemented in all places and spaces for use regardless of the nature and use of the material

Different colors and appropriate the right cost.

As does the use of furniture and equipment and make this space a comfortable and quiet and all special conditions

And aesthetic standards and methods of comfort and joy.

- Is a broad perception and awareness of the infinite in all matters architectural details and a private internal

And raw materials and nature and how to use a knowledge of exclusive furniture and assay and its distribution in the vacuum
