If the minimalist movement has you wanting for more, it may be time to embrace Art Deco design. This maximalist style is anything but subtle, but it's all about embracing high-end embellishments, glamorous details and luxury. Known for being just a little "over the top," if you will, the Art Deco movement occurred around the 1920s, but is definitely back in style now. It's bold and loud, but incredibly elegant at the same time.

From rich, textured fabrics to deep colors and eye-catching designs, Art Deco design is perfect for a bedroom if you love eclectic glam. To inspire your makeover, we've rounded up some stunning Art Deco-inspired bedrooms.

Embrace the Arch

While Art Deco design incorporates a variety of shapes and sizes, the rounded-top or arch shape is one that is iconic in this movement. This mushroom-shaped nightstand lamp is a great way to add a touch of Deco-inspired style while avoiding that "theme" feel a room can take on when you go overboard.

Throw in Color

This design style can work well in both rooms filled with bold color or those that are a bit more understated. But a great way to get the best of both worlds is to keep your palette simple, but weave in a few jewel tones like this hunter green.

Focus on the Lighting

Pick Rich Textures

This isn't the time to skimp away from heavy fabrics and bold textures. Skip the thin fabrics and opt for velvet, brocade or other heavyweight fabrics that feel luxurious and special.

Add Gold Elements

Whether you pick a light fixture with gold or you pull in a few picture frames, brass and gold are wonderful Deco elements to elevate your space. The color instantly makes a space feel more luxurious and curated, even if it's just in one fixture.

Swap the Headboard

Bed with round headboard — Gold a la Mode

Not only do arched headboards just feel a little more whimsical and fun than a standard rectangle, but they are perfect for embracing that early 20th century vibe in your bedroom. When an arched headboard is covered in a simple fabric, as seen here, it will never go out of style.

Think Embellishments

From tassels to metallics, find ways to pull in a bit of the unexpected in your decor. Eye-catching elements don't have to be overwhelming and even a little goes a long way. A mix of textured wallpaper, jewel tones, luxe fabrics, and a statement sconce creates a more understated version of Art Deco style.

Consider Textured Wallpaper

For a hotel-like bedroom that also lends that old Hollywood vibe, consider putting up textured wallpaper. It feels rich, inviting and incredibly elegant, plus adds more interest to the room than paint.

Sprawl Out

If you have the room, embrace luxury and add a chaise lounge so you can live your actual best life every evening. The curved lines and elongated shape of the sofa are perfect for enjoying a glass of wine or a book before bed.

Mix in Vintage Elements

While you can definitely get that Art Deco look using DIY-ed and store-bought elements, consider throwing in some vintage pieces to give your bedroom a rich, dramatic look. You'll curate a one-of-a-kind space that nails the Deco style.

Pick a Focal Point
