Dark & Moody Art Deco Wallpaper for Dining Rooms
Art Deco design, born in 1920s Paris, celebrates symmetry, fans, sunbursts and stepped forms. It adds instant glamour, especially in metallic-look tones.
Dining rooms come alive by lamplight, which is why rich, dark or highly decorative wallpapers excel here. Consider papering all four walls for an enveloping, intimate mood.
Dark and moody wallpaper makes rooms feel cocooning and dramatic, and paradoxically can make small rooms feel larger as the corners recede.
Our edit of 32 original designs includes chrysler step, deco fan, palais fan, radiant sunburst, scallop shell, skyline ziggurat and more. Highlights from the edit include Arlington Skyline Ziggurat, Lytes Radiant Sunburst, Osbert Sunburst.
Shown: Arlington Skyline Ziggurat Wallpaper in Gatsby Black.
