The Art Deco period was known for being a little over-the-top. History buffs will remember the Art Deco movement (of the early 20th century) for its emphasis on bold shapes, deep colors, and luxurious accents. And even non-history buffs will surely recognize iconic Art Deco fixtures, like the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building. (If you’re still drawing a blank, picture any scene from Baz Lurhmann’s 2013 film The Great Gatsby, and you’ll be set.)

The Art Deco movement was chiefly about three things: it was sleek in its commitment to clean lines and geometrical shapes, it was kitschy in its love of striking colors and stylized prints, and it was glamorous in its appreciation for luxurious materials. This trifecta makes the Art Deco look a little tough to pull off, albeit truly special when done right. Increasingly, designers are sneaking the aesthetic into spots where you’d least expect it—like the bathroom.

With a bold mirror, some printed wallpaper, and a striking chandelier, you can piece together an Art Deco time capsule that leaves even your toilet looking glamorous. Several designers have braved the Art Deco bathroom, and they’ve blessed us with plenty of Art Deco bathroom ideas worth emulating.

01 Snag a Geometric Light Fixture

Art Deco light fixtures are some of the most striking around. So, one easy way to add flair to your bathroom? Hang a sleek, geometric chandelier. Leave the light alone, and make it the sole show-stopper in your space, or sprinkle in other Art Deco details, like printed wallpaper and high-contrast tiles.

02 Flank Your Mirror With Sconces

Symmetry is huge in any Art Deco design scheme, and while there are plenty of ways to make your space look symmetrical, flanking your mirror with sconces is a particularly eye-catching one. By placing two matching accents so close together, you’ll draw attention to the symmetry you’ve created, making your design choice striking, rather than subtle.

03 Add Luxury With Drapes

Art Deco may be sleek and hard-edged, but it’s also fun and luxurious, so look for opportunities to add glamour to your space. Drapes may not be the first thing you think to hang in your bathroom, but that non-obvious touch of elegance should go a long way.

04 Go Bold With Your Color Scheme

The Art Deco period was a particularly color-filled moment, and pops of color aren’t the only way to pay homage to the era’s palette. If you don’t mind making a statement, consider going all-in on one striking shade. Make your space feel even more Art Deco with a bold light fixture and some eye-catching printed tiles.

05 Invest in Luxe Lighting

Lighting is a necessity in any bathroom, and since hanging a few striking light fixtures can be a great way to cement the aesthetic you’re curating, don’t be afraid to go bold. Snag a chandelier that boasts Art Deco’s sleek geometric forms, and bring your space together with a couple of matching sconces.

06 Pick Mirrors That Look Like Prisms

It isn’t hard to find an Art Deco mirror. Thanks to the period’s emphasis on geometry, just about any circular, square, or rectangular mirror will do. But if you want something that’s a little less obvious, consider snagging an Art Deco-inspired statement-maker—like a mirror that looks like a prism. The triangles lining the mirror’s edge will nod to the era’s commitment to sleek lines, while adding a little visual interest to your space.

07 Pick Sconces as Tall as Your Mirrors

Your sconces can be any size, but if you want to play up the Art Deco accents in your space, consider snagging sconces that are as tall as your mirrors. This will put your sconces and your mirrors on the same plane, creating an implied pattern out of simple bathroom décor.

08 Warm Up Your Space With Gold Accents

Metal accents pervaded the Art Deco period, and they’re still popular in interior design today. If you’re looking for an understated way to make your bathroom feel more Art Deco, consider sprinkling in a few gold accents. By color-coordinating these pieces, you can maintain some of Art Deco’s signature sleekness, while lending your space some welcome warmth.

09 Layer Lines Over Lines

Layers are welcome in Art Deco design, so don’t be afraid to pile them on. Use your tiles, your sink, and your vanity to create straight lines running in every direction. Then, bring the motif to the foreground with a statement-making mirror.

10 Keep Things Symmetrical

When in doubt, look for ways to add symmetry, as it’s easy to attain. And if you do it obviously enough, it’ll nod to Art Deco—even if you’ve mixed other aesthetics into your space.

But how do you do it obviously? Work in twos. Split one sprawling wall mirror into two smaller matching mirrors, then pair those mirrors with matching sinks and vanity cabinets. If you really want to hammer your point home, add even more symmetrical pairs. Hang matching pendant lights on either side of each mirror, or flank each mirror with a pair of matching sconces.

11 Go All in on Marble

Marble makes a luxurious addition to any bathroom, and since Art Deco is inherently glamorous, it suits the aesthetic perfectly. Invest in marble countertops or splurge on marble floors, and if you really want to kick things up a notch, you can line your walls with marble, too.

12 Give Chevron a Chance

Chevron—a zigzag-like pattern formed by inverted Vs—had a serious moment in the mid-2010s. And fun fact: it also had a moment in the Art Deco period. So, let go of any preconceived notions you have about the pattern, and consider welcoming it into your space.
