In this month's decoration series, we show you how to make a statement with a reinterpreted spin on art deco blended with geometric forms, classic motifs and exotic materials for a whimsical yet sumptuous atmosphere. Or go bold and clash with interlocking wallpapers in two colourways for your feature wall – a centrepiece that sparks conversation. Incorporate a touch of modern art deco aesthetic to your home by pairing sleek, streamlined furniture pieces made of exotic woods with chrome and mirrored surfaces. 

It's all about contrast - combine sophistication and a dash of flamboyance for a compelling effect. Take a look at our top 5 selections.
