Art deco wallpaper inspired by the 1920s and 1930s: black and gold arches, fine gold chevrons, Gatsby-inspired patterns and bold geometrics. Printed to order in prepasted smooth (our pick), peel and stick, traditional paste or Type II commercial.
Art deco wallpaper brings the look of the 1920s and 1930s home: fans and arches, chevrons, stepped geometry and lots of gold. It works best where a room should feel a little dressed up, like a dining room, entryway, bar or powder room. Our art deco wallpaper collection has more than 70 designs, and every one is printed to order in Indianapolis at your wall's exact size.
Black and gold is the signature art deco pairing. All That Jazz layers gold arches on black and also comes as a wall mural, Daisy Buchanan and Tim Shepard are flowing gold-on-black patterns, and Gull is a gold arch pattern with an optical-illusion feel. George Wilson and El Rey Dorado are gold geometrics on black, and Chicago pairs mustard yellow with black and white.
For a lighter room, Jay Gatsby is a pattern of fine gold chevrons on white, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Dan Cody are gold hexagons, Tom Buchanan is a gold floral, Jordan Baker is thin, wavy gold lines, and Greta Garbo adds gold arches and dots. White and gold keeps a room bright while adding shine.
Many of our art deco designs are named for characters and places from The Great Gatsby. Beyond the designs above, East Egg and West Egg are swirling gold patterns, Nick Carraway sets white swirls on a gold background, Ewing Klipspringer is a gold clam-shell pattern, and Valley of Ashes and Henry C. Gatz round out the set. Browse more gold wallpaper.
Unflappable and Jimmy Cagney are architectural arch patterns in black, white and cream, Fat Sam is a black and white octagon pattern with a tile look, Geo White is a clean black-line geometric, and Michaelis is a black and white art nouveau print. See more black and white wallpaper.
Art deco isn't only black and gold. Geo Blue is a geometric in charcoal and white, Geo 1 mixes coral, teal and gold diamonds, Art Deco City pairs burgundy with gold, and Golden Geo, Rose Gold Geo and White Stone are distressed modern geometrics. Retro Nouveau sets arches on a light green background, Ian Mercer is a navy art nouveau pattern, and Bugsy Malone layers chevrons and diamonds in cream and coffee tones.
Art nouveau came first, around 1890 to 1910, and is built on flowing curves and nature. Art deco followed in the 1920s and 1930s with sharper geometry: fans, chevrons, zigzags and stepped shapes. This collection includes both, and they mix well in the same home.
Art deco wallpaper is made for dining rooms, entryways, home bars, powder rooms and bedrooms with a glamorous feel. It's also popular in restaurants, cocktail bars, salons and hotels. For bathrooms, we recommend prepasted smooth, which holds up best to steam and humidity. Peel and stick works well in powder rooms and in well-ventilated or lightly used guest baths.
For the cleanest seams and a finish that looks professionally hung, we recommend prepasted smooth: activate with water, slide into place, and it still removes cleanly when you're ready for a change. Safe for renters and all homeowners.
Art deco peel and stick wallpaper installs with no water at all and is a great alternative. Be sure to read our installation instructions to prep your walls correctly. In bathrooms, peel and stick works well in powder rooms and in well-ventilated or lightly used guest baths; for a bathroom with daily shower steam, we recommend prepasted smooth.
Traditional paste-the-wall and Type II commercial-grade options are available for permanent and high-traffic installs. The traditional paste can be strippable with the correct wallpaper paste. We recommend Roman paste products. Every material is vinyl- and PVC-free, GreenGuard Gold certified and printed with non-toxic, water-resistant UVgel inks.
Black, gold, brass, cream and white are classic. Emerald green, deep blue, burgundy and blush pink work well as accent colors.
