030 Art Deco Most people feel luxurious when we first see Art Deco style. The style gets its name from the French acronym for "art decorative", which means "art deco". Art Deco is one of the most expensive and richest interior styles. It would be unimaginable without the aristocratic decor and refined furniture with a classic touch, luxurious chandeliers and rugs, an abundance of metals, antiques, paintings and other artworks. And there are many expensive and shiny materials you can see: gloss, polish, varnish and metal. Art Deco is decorative in nature, it likes very expensive materials - silver and gold, precious and semi-precious stones, animal skins, ivory, crocodile skins, precious woods. So it leaves a very deep impression. Generally decorated in high-end hotels, ships, clubs. As seen in the space with a plethora of premium materials. Such as polished marble, chrome in various golden materials. Advanced decoration. It also shows a sense of luxury.

031 Elsie de Wolfe

Elsie de Wolfe strongly disliked the Victorian surroundings she grew up in. She is known for especially hating William Morris furniture and wallpaper. After redecorating the house. she shared with Elisabeth Marbury, she made a smooth transition to working as a decorator, where She let her rebellious interior design ideas free to create a bright, airy and feminine environment. And she can be seen using ivory and light grey walls as a backdrop. She created a beautiful living room using light tulle curtains, mirrors, a mix of floral and leopard print accents, and light French furniture. Her style is best described as light, airy, comfortable and whimsical.

We can see that there are many continuations and inheritances in the modern decoration. Still retain some feminine environment. Light color atmosphere in the room. Light yellow tint. In the choice of materials and furniture. Full of optimism and white paint, comfy chairs with lights by the side, open fires and flowers on the fireplace and bright lighting all very close to the historic decor. Gives a feeling of warmth and comfort.

We can feel that the color tone of the whole space is bright. The light white and bright ambience is the first impression. The main element of botanical printing gives a natural and vibrant feeling. Patterns adorn the space and make the style even more distinct.

033 Dorothy Draper

Dorothy Draper is very anti-minimalist in style, using bright, vibrant colors and large prints that cover entire walls. She incorporates black and white tiles. Huge black-and-white checkerboard floors, delicate plaster moldings and stripes so wide that they had to be hand- painted, while her signature cabbage rose chintz featured clusters of blooming flowers. When it comes to interior color choices, opt for a vibrant, saturated color scheme with plenty of chartreuse, deep red, sky blue and shimmering black.

We can see a very strong personal style in this space. The strong clash of colors and the fusion of elements make this style very memorable. And she incorporates a lot of plant elements to make the space very vibrant and natural. The interior patterns are very attractive and the floral elements reflect Dorothy Draper's optimism.

034 Mid-century Modern This is the Mid-Century Modern Herman Miller Marshmallow Sofa. This sofa was designed by George Nelson. He invented an injection-molded plastic disc, which he insisted was inexpensive to produce and durable. The designer took a look and arranged 18 of them on a steel frame. This is the original version of the Marshmallow sofa. The unique look and eye-catching appeal of this sofa is achieved by connecting the individual elements so that they appear to be floating in the air. It's funny when you see this type of sofa. The circular cushions reminiscent of marshmallows are all a high stool seat mounted on a metal disc frame, creating an overall geometric design. Colorful sofas are considered symbols of modern and contemporary design.

The modern version continues the geometric design feel of the historical version. The overall design is very layered. But you can also feel that it seems to have changed a lot, both in material and structure. But it seems more comfortable to sit up.
