It’s the ’20s again, and Art Deco—the timelessly elegant architecture and design style made popular 100 years ago—is making a comeback in home decor. Wondering how to incorporate the stylized look into your home today, without going full The Great Gatsby? We asked interior designer Ashley Larson Eitemiller, principal of Denver’s C+A Interiors and devoted Deco fan, for her top picks for new pieces that channel the best of that bygone era. Says Eitemiller: “Whether it’s a statement entry chandelier or powder room wallpaper, subtle Deco elements add a sense of luxury and importance to your space.” Here are her favorite pieces:

Taking cues from the decorative painting favored by Art Deco luminary Armand-Albert Rateau, the London-based wallpaper house, de Gournay, created the glamorous Rateau pattern on gold-gilded paper. This—and all de Gournay designs—is painted by hand, in this case using the bas-relief technique, which gives the whimsical woodland scene a three-dimensional quality. degournay.com

Alexander Lamont’s Capanema nightstand was inspired by Brazilian modernist architecture, but its sleek rounded corners, dark-bronze-patinated brass leg that doubles as drawer handles, speckled shagreen finish, and chevron-patterned koto-wood veneer top bring all the glamorous detail of the Roaring ’20s to a 21st-century room. alexanderlamont.com
